    Visiting Kingston, New Brunswick (Kingston Peninsula)

    / No Comments

    Our Favorite Homeschool Curriculum

    / 2 Comments

    I finally feel confident enough to share our favorite homeschool curricula with you!  If you are a seasoned homeschooler or new to the game, you know that confidence is always a struggle.  We want “the very best” for our children and as imperfect beings trying to teach little imperfect beings in an imperfect world, well, we have to settle for “our best”. We have used the following curricula for at least the past two years and will use it this upcoming school year as well.   If you follow us on…
