Homeschool Fiction

Yes, it’s been quite a while since I’ve posted anything on this website. It’s all good though! Fantastic in fact! It’s been a whirlwind of excitement in my household for months now: 2 books published, several trips, activities galore, and much more!
I have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving day!  Here are [...]

This week’s 20 Questions is a real treat!  It’s the first time I’ve had a Dad answer the questions (hint, hint to other Pops out there).  The perspective is definitely uniquely wonderful.  I had a blast reading these answers and I’m sure you will, too.  Please note that I edited it to keep the G [...]

If you are traveling by airplane this holiday season, consider trying to make your layovers in healthy food friendly airports.  The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine has recently come out with a new “List of Airports with the Most Healthful Food“.  It’s an interesting read!
What does my family do when we fly?  We usually take [...]

My family recently went on a trip to Northern Arizona and Southeastern and Central Utah to explore dinosaur bones. We actually ended up going to more of Utah than we’d originally intended.

It’s only $80 and is good for a year (purchase it at the next National Park you go to). It can quickly pay for itself with the cost of [...]

Are you taking a trip this summer, yet are worried about your Webkinz pets?
No worries!  They won’t “die”, even after weeks of not being cared for.  That’s the beauty of a virtual pet!  It’ll still love you even after a bit of neglect.  You shouldn’t go more than a month without taking care of it [...]

My completely vegan family (2 adults and 2 children- ages 11.5 and 7.5) is currently “On the Road Again” traveling around northern Arizona, and eastern and southern Utah. This is why there hasn’t been a post for a couple of days. We had the highest intentions of bringing bags of food with us. [...]

With vacation season approaching us, I want to talk about trips. My family and I really enjoy seeing “offbeat” locations (although we highly enjoy the luxury of our children not going to school, so we can visit them in “off seasons”).
Check out RoadSideAmerica for roadside attractions in your area, where you’ll be on your [...]
