Today I’ve written a guest post on My Joy Filled Life all about homeschooling as part of the ABC’s of Homeschooling series. I chose Q is for Quiet Learning because we all could use a little quiet. and hope you hop on over to see ways we include Quiet Learning as part of our homeschool education.

Be sure to check out the entire series from last year and this year’s edition of ABC’s of Homeschooling. My friend HONEY wrote N is for Nature so be sure to stop by and see what good things she has to say!

Free Classical Conversations Cycle 3 Resources

July 10, 2014 By Thaleia 8 Comments

I am not apart of Classical Conversations, but know quite a few families that are. My sweet friend is starting her journey as a first year Tutor and needed some extra resources. Since I like to research and find free ideas I set to work to find helpful things to share right here for all Classical Conversation families. Of course I will be using some of these resources with my own family as well.

[Tweet “#Free Classical Conversations Cycle 3 Resources #homeschool “]

STOP- before you begin perusing all these wonderful freebies be sure to create a CC Cycle 3 Folder on YOUR PC or Google Drive then an Audiobook Folder, a American History Folder for all the pdf and textbooks and then a 4th folder for projects, Memory Review Games, etc.

Stop number 1 on our journey to free CC Cyle 3 resources is Half-Acre Woods!

Oh, boy! Better grab your external hard-drive, a cup of coffee, and pray your toddler stays down for a nap! You will find tons and tons of free goodies from Half a Hundred Acre Wood.

This website is so filled with ideas, information, reading plans, and free printables you may just have to schedule a couple of days to peruse it! Brandy has organized her CC Cycles by year, subject, and has so much to share it almost scares me! (and it takes a lot to scare me with free resources!)

Stop number 2 is the Ultimate Guide to CC from Melanie at Psycho with 6.

Melanie shares all sorts of resources for all 3 CC Cycles including subject resources, Challenge Resources, and her own pinterest boards.

Stop number 4- PINTEREST! Yikes, a person could very easily get lost and distracted on pinterest. This is why I am finding my favorite 5 places to check out.

4th of July Baby Art

July 3, 2014 By Thaleia 1 Comment

Just woke up and remember the star shaped post-its I have and that this week is 4th of July. Then I thought the stars combined with finger-paint would make a great baby art piece! Super simple while the big kids are at Grandma’s house.

I cannot believe that Lil’ Red is 10 1/2 months and HAS NOT done ART! Yikes, that’s so hard to comprehend. I had Eldest and Princess painting at 6 months and Big Red at 8 months. Just goes to show what happens as you have more kids and get crazy busy.
