We have home schooled for 12 years.  We have used a LOT of different curriculum and methods!  I love unit studies to allow me to include all of the different age/learning levels involved in the same topic.  Charlotte Mason is my educational hero!  I love her learning philosophies and methods.  Here are some of the things that we have found work the best for this season of our homeschooling:

• The Bible Alive
• Dinner Table Devotions
• Ignite Your Faith
• History Revealed 
• Time Travelers History Study Series (Home School In The Woods)
• All About Spelling
• Teaching Textbooks (Math)
• Foundations In Personal Finance (Dave Ramsey Homeschool program)
• Math on the Level
• Free Online Typing Course
• Language Lessons from Queens Homeschool Supplies
• The American Heritage Series
• Animals and their Worlds ~ for our kindergartner (Winter Promise)
• Various Kumon workbooks (preschool and kindergarten)
• The Reading Lesson book
• Nutrition 101: Choose Life!
• Elements of Faith, vol. 1
• Exploring the World Around You: A Look at Nature From Tropics to Tundra
• Getty Dubay Handwriting Books
• We also love Nature Walks, playing games (shhh!  Don't tell them it's educational!), reading biographies and living history, listening to audios, and watching educational shows.

I think that every part of our day can be considered "school".  There's always something to be learned!  I will add things to this page as I come across them!

Hello!  My name is Denice.  Welcome to a small glimpse of my world!  I am wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend.  I have 5 children ~ 3 brought to us naturally, 2 Supernaturally!  (From Kazakhstan and Taiwan).  We homeschool, love adventures, reading, sewing/quilting, traveling and seeing new places, cherish time with family and friends, strive to make my home comfortable and cozy for my family, and love to cook healthy (and yummy!) food for us all!  I am constantly challenged to do things more creatively, naturally and frugally!  I have a huge heart for the orphans (James 1:27) and hope that I can do more to make a difference.  My most important "titles" are "Follower of Jesus" and "Daughter of the King"!!  Because without Him, I could do none of the above!

I look at my life as a constant adventure, never truly knowing what lies around the next corner!  We try to take it all in stride and thank the Lord for it all!  At times it truly feels like we are on a "Whimsical Walk in the Woods"...  which is never boring and always exciting!

 So thank you for coming on a walk with us!  Hopefully you will be encouraged, challenged and amused!
