We have done dry curriculum where we memorize flash cards to learn countries and states of the world. I gave up on that for something so much more exciting. We play board games now to learn geography. In this post I will mention some of my favorites. Trekking The World Scrambled States of America Trekking […]
Starting My Own Program My family lives 45 minutes out of town. That is a super long way to go one extra time a week for story time. I also don’t like having to drive that far and then expect my kids to sit still while a book is read to them. Therefore, instead of […]
Dinner Time One of the hardest challenges for me with being a wife and mom in general is getting dinner done on time. I’ve looked at other women’s meal plans at times and it is extremely depressing. Somehow they manage to make a homemade meal for every single meal every day and still do a […]
Our New Homeschool Space! Our first year of homeschooling we did around the living room table. My house was a wreck unless people were coming over. My husband was slowly getting tired of my homeschool things consuming our house. I had a room in mind since we moved into this house. However, my husband really […]
Social Life of a Homeschool Family For most of these 11 years, my husband and I have lived far from family and town. He has been an intern on a ranch, a cowboy, or a ranch unit manager. It has been hard to have friends when we live anywhere from 20-60 minutes from the nearest […]
Homeschool Science Review-Sonlight Hey everyone! I did something daring that I’ve been wanting to do since I started homeschooling. When I first started teaching my kids it was mostly just a Good and Beautiful science unit during the summer. I have four very rowdy children. They already have exhausting, short attention spans. However, when I […]
Preteens, Morning Run, and Wet Hair Last night handsome cowboy went with me outside. He was feeding the horses while I got Lullabell in and then keep me company while I milked her. I went into the pen empty handed. That’s never a good plan. Around and around the pen we went until Momma decided […]
Milk Cow vs. Karate Mom I mentioned a while back how I used my karate bow staff (long stick) to make me LARGE and SCARY to my milk cow. For the last several times that I’ve milked Lullabell my stick has made a difference. So if my stick is working what am I writing this […]
Lulabell Now I don’t know what you all do with your milk cow. Have people given you good, bad, or just ridiculous advice? Has what they told you to do actually worked? Now like I mentioned before I am not “handy”. I wear flip flops often to rodeos and things so people don’t get the […]
This is Our Family My husband and I have been happily married for 10+ years. We are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We enjoy spending time together doing all things country with our four babies. The Hot Cowboy!!! My husband is a unit ranch manager who also trains horses […]
The Near Death Hiccup My hot cowboy is thrilled!!!! When we got Lulabell my husband wasn’t amused. He has endless chores outside to do already with his job. Plus sometimes over the years he’s taken care of our chores like feeding baby goats or taking care of my inside poochies. Naturally adding a milk cow […]

Middle of Nowhere Our decision to homeschool all started with moving to Montana. We lived on a ranch in the middle of nowhere. To some people this might mean 15 minutes from town. That is definitely the outskirts of town to what I am about to explain. As we were driving for a job interview […]
