If you are just joining us, we have been talking about how writing can seem so overwhelming for some kids. However, with a plan those same kids can succeed at writing. Having that plan is what the writing process is all about. In our last post we went over the first step of our writing process, brainstorming. If you missed it, check out the post The Visual Writing Process for Kids – Part 1 to see what we have already covered. For now, let’s move on with part 2 in our writing process. My goal is to help you bring a more visual way to see writing to your kids, and just maybe help them to like writing. Let’s get started with part 2. […]

Memoria Press’ Iliad & Odyssey Complete Set – Review
Memoria Press is one of those homeschool companies that I had heard of, but never used any of their products before. So, when the opportunity came for me to be able to review their Iliad & Odyssey Complete Set, I got very excited. Not only could I try out one of their products, but it fell into both History and English subjects. With any new product the first thing I would ask someone would be, who is this product for, how does this program work, and does it work? So let’s dive into these questions and get you the answers you are looking for. Who is this product for? This product is meant for kids anywhere from middle school through high school who […]
Manhood Journey Father’s Starter Kit – Review
Given the title of this review, this is one I needed to hand over to hubby to handle. He worked with our boys through this kit and has written the review himself, for you. So, without further adieu, here is my Hubby’s review… My wife who is part of Homeschool Review Crew let me know about Manhood Journey Father’s Starter Kit by City on a Hill Studio. With being the father of three boys, I was obviously curious about it. I have been looking for the right product to help disciple my boys for a while. I have found the usual books and DVDs but the way that this was laid out, I was compelled. I am wary of Christian products in this […]
Creating a Masterpiece Monthly Plan – Review
The word masterpiece sounds so sophisticated, elegant and refined doesn’t it. To think that my kids who aren’t natural artists could create something that could hold the title of masterpiece definitely had my attention from the beginning. The fact that I could have my kids work through these projects, at home, by my side, got my full attention. So what is this program, how does it work, and does it stand up to it’s name of having kids create masterpieces? That is what this review will show you, so you can decide if this curriculum is right for your family. Creating a Masterpiece Monthly Plan is an online subscription service. With your subscription you get access to multiple levels of video art instruction that your whole […]
Visual Writing Process for Kids
Let’s face it, writing just isn’t one of those things that comes naturally for a lot of people. It usually takes learning the process and lots of practice. So what is a mom to do when her kiddo is very much a visual learner, maybe even struggling with a learning disability of some kind? I am by far no expert, but I want to share with you, what has worked for my kiddos time and time again. Being a visual learner myself, I developed this method for my own writing and when I had kids with the same struggles I adapted it to be more hands on for my active boys. Think about what kind of assignments kids get on any given day. […]
Eclectic Foundations Language Arts – Review
I was lucky enough to be chosen to review Eclectic Foundations Language Arts Level C. I was so excited about this curriculum as my youngest seemed to be advanced for the level we had him at in reading. I was excited to see how my ADHD kiddo would enjoy this change in curriculum. Not only enjoy but benefit from. So what is Eclectic Foundations? It is a Classical styled Language Arts curriculum that seems to be very Charlotte Mason in design. If you are new to homeschooling, that last sentence may have gone totally over your head. Don’t feel bad, we have all been there. Let me explain a bit about what that means and then go into what this program offers so you can […]
By The Way Book Series – Review
Today I am bringing you a review of the By The Way Book Series. Specifically, Smoky Mountains ~ Here We Come!. This is actually a pretty awesome review, but also an ironic one. Ironic that a Dyslexic homeschool Mom is reviewing a read-aloud book series. However, after reading through this review I believe you will see that the By The Way Book Series is not a traditional book series. It is more like a really fun textbook, and that is something any homeschool mom would be happy to know about. So, what is this series and why am I so excited about it? This series of books from By The Way is written for parents to be able to bring a Christian worldview […]

If you have homeschooled for any length of time with a toddler in the house, you know that doing so is absolutely no easy task. Now add the fact that your Toddler just might have ADHD, you have a recipe for disaster. So what is a Mom to do when school still has to get done? That is just what I am talking about today. There is no magic potion to make all your ADHD troubles go away, but there are ways to lessen their impact on your kids’ education. There are several general ways that parents seem to handle homeschooling with a toddler in the house. So let’s go over them and talk about why they just don’t seem to work for ADHD kiddos. […]
Ancient Greece Project Passport – Review
Are you a Unit Study type of homeschooler? I honestly have not been. Change can be hard with my crew of ADHD kiddos. Before I was chosen to review Home School in the Woods’ HISTORY Through the Ages Project Passport World History Study of Ancient Greece, I was a bit hesitant. After looking over their website I got pretty excited about all that this unit study seemed to offer. The only thing left to do was dive into this study with the kids and see how it went. Today is the day you find out if this unit study worked or didn’t work for us. Ultimately, finding out if Home School in the Woods Project Passports would be a good fit for your own family. […]
