I wrote a while back about starting a secular morning book basket. I wasn’t sure it would stand the test of time, but it’s truly become one of our favorite parts of the day. It starts our day off cozy and connected… and covers many subjects so if the afternoon goes haywire… we at least … Continue reading
There are so many book lists out there. Now, don’t get me wrong, I LOVE a good book list… but here’s my problem, they all seem to have the SAME (dare I say, boring) books on them!

This year my entire goal, when it came to reading, for our homeschool was to help Hanna reconnect and remember her love for reading.

I'm Jackie Lee. A secular, relaxed, eclectic, homeschooling mom of one. I love exclamation marks! emoticons and say LOL way too much. I believe in learning. My kiddo went to public school through grade 4. I brought her home because she'd lost the love of learning, and I believe THAT is the biggest asset one can have in life. We made it through our first year of homeschool together, had our ups and downs, and continue learning and loving the process. I'm sharing our story, as well as the things that work and don't work for us on this blog. :) Read our whole story here.
