  • “Talent is a pursued interest. Anything that you “Talent is a pursued interest. Anything that you're willing to practice, you can do.” - Bob Ross My husband recently gifted me this custom Lego Bob Ross, isn’t it wonderful? 🎨🖼 Bob has a permanent spot on my desk now. He reminds me of many years of watching him on PBS painting happy little trees with my grandparents. 🥰 Memories I will cherish forever.
    This is the last back-to-homeschool picture I will This is the last back-to-homeschool picture I will take of one of these kiddos. Yep. For the 2022-2023 homeschool year, we are homeschooling a senior (gasp!), a third grader, and a second grader. The time has indeed flown, but I feel incredibly grateful for all the extra hours I have had watching my sweet Jules grow up over the years! 💝Homeschooling her is one of the best and most challenging things I have ever done. All the days of learning alongside her and fostering her interests are coming to fruition now. To say I am proud of her is an understatement; she has become a beautiful and talented young lady with the world ahead of her. 🌎 I can not wait to see what God has planned for her!

    It really is the most wonderful time of the year.. It really is the most wonderful time of the year...if you are a homeschool mom, of course! Ah, researching, carefully curating, and purchasing new curricula - you are my people if you love this part of homeschooling too. 🫶 ​ ​Through the years, I have reviewed and researched a lot of different curricula. If you are looking for reviews for particular things, always know that you can DM me, and I will shoot you a link to a review if I have one. Or I can also point you to someone I know and trust if I don't have a review for whatever you are looking for. 💁🏻‍♀️ ​ ​And today, I want to show you some happy homeschool mail we just received! 👏🏼 If you are looking for hands-on science for any age, we love these Science Unlocked Kits from Home Science Tools. (Here is a link to a review that can tell you all about them: https://gracegrowedify.com/2021/06/14/homeschool-science-kit/ or DM me, and I can shoot you this link.) ​ ​Science Unlocked Kits are super flexible and incredibly easy to use. They are also perfect for any age! (My high schooler just finished the Crack the Code kit, that one was so interesting!) ​ ​My younger two (boys almost 7 + 8) are excited to dive into this new kit - Keys to Life: Food, Water, Shelter, and Space. ​With this exciting hands-on kit, they will: ​ ​•Observe an ecosphere ​•Test different amounts of water to see how much a seed needs to sprout and germinate ​•Dissect an owl pellet (are you even a homeschooler if you don't dissect an owl pellet at least once??) 😆 ​•Design and build animal homes ​•Learn about photosynthesis and plant life cycles ​ ​There are so many different kits to choose from to match whatever you are learning this year! Oh, AND right now, if you buy one kit - you get the 2nd one 50% OFF!!🤩 ​ ​Go check out the entire Science Unlocked line here: {ref} https://www.homesciencetools.com/science-unlocked/?aff=85 ​
    One of the things that has blessed me in various s One of the things that has blessed me in various seasons of homeschooling is being able to fellowship with other homeschool moms. Even though I am an introvert and rarely make social plans, I occasionally enjoy a good conversation with friends. It’s one of those things where you don’t realize how much you needed that interaction until it’s over. Fellowshipping with other homeschool moms always feeds the soul, and I feel lighter after a friendly get-together. 💖⁣ ⁣ But, with all the children and busyness in our lives, how can we be intentional about fellowshipping together? After leading a local homeschool group for almost six years, I have a few ideas for you. Some successful gatherings didn’t take much effort, yet they blessed many of us.⁣ ⁣ 👉You can read all of the ideas here and make sure you scroll to the bottom of the post and enter to win one of five $100 gift cards for a Mother's Day Giveaway!💝💐⁣ https://gracegrowedify.com/2022/04/27/homeschool-moms/⁣ ⁣ Or tap the link in my bio for more info -> @gracegrowedify⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #homeschoolmom #homeschool #homeschooling #homeschoollife #homeschoolersofinstagram #homeschoolblogger #homeschoolmoms #homeschoolmomsofig #christianfamily #homeschoolfamily #SAHM #gracegrowedify #giveaway #ihsnet #homeeducators #homeeducators #mothersdaygift #mothersday #homeschoolers #homeeducation #homeschoolcommunity #homeschoolmomlife #momsofinstagram #fellowship #christianmom #homeschoolgroup #

    Science, it's one of those love-it-or-hate-it subj Science, it's one of those love-it-or-hate-it subjects in homeschooling. 😬 Teaching homeschool science and facilitating experiments at home might make you feel a little overwhelmed. But there are other exciting ways to teach and learn about science together at home, and this microscopic world study is a great example!💁🏻‍♀️ You can have a great time with hands-on learning about science without any mess or experiments. 🔬Technically, you don't even need a microscope! Nana @chalkpastelart has a new science series out, and it will complement your homeschool studies so well. We loved combining art and science this past week and think you will too! 🎨Take a look at the new I Drew It Then I Knew It art lessons and ideas here: {ref} https://www.chalkpastel.com/microscopic-world-study-homeschool-science/?ref=206 or visit the link in bio @gracegrowedify and head over to “My posts at YOU ARE AN ARTiST”

    If there is anything that I could convey to homesc If there is anything that I could convey to homeschool parents that are afraid to homeschool through high school, it would be this - do not be intimidated. We have homeschooled from the beginning, and each stage is unique and has its challenges. I have loved so many stages and years past, and I love the high school years too! So don't give up! There are still so many creative ways to learn together and memories you can make. 📚🎨📖🫖 Being able to enjoy quality literature with my teen is something that I will treasure forever. We are reading through Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice now, and there are so many creative learning activities that you can incorporate! And I promise they are far from boring. I have a list of ideas to share with you, along with @chalkpastelart Nana's dreamy new Jane Austen art lessons, that you HAVE to do if you are reading or studying Jane Austen. 🤩Go take a look at Nana's new lessons, and I hope you are encouraged by our ideas to study excellent literature by the adored Jane Austen!🎨📖🫖{ref] https://www.chalkpastel.com/jane-austen-for-high-school/?ref=206 🎨📖🫖You can also head over to My Posts at YOU ARE AN ARTiST through the link in my bio @gracegrowedify #homeschoolart #janeausten #homeschoolhighschool #homeschoolideas #highschoolcurriculum #homeschoolartlessons #thisishowwehomeschool #homeschoolookslikethis #homeschoolersofinsta #homeschoolers #homeschoolmom #homeschoolliterature #literature #janeaustenforteens #homeschoolenglish #homeschoolfamily #christianhomeschool #homeeducators #homeeducation #janeaustenquote #janeaustenbooks #highschoolliterature #homeschoolteens #highschoolartclass #chalkpastels #youareanartist #IDITIKIClubhouse
