Today’s focus area was the Fern Plant. I had been a little reluctant to do this as I have not seen any fern’s in my immediate surrounds, but was encouraged by my friend who shared our Nature Hour with us last week, and already focused on the fern this month, to ‘step out in faith’ …
Today’s post is a small little peek into how KONOS plays out in our everyday living and learning. It always amazes me that the moment we start a new character trait, God begins to test us in that area. Not just the children mind you – us as parents, as grown up individuals! We are currently …
Over the years, my methods for planning a KONOS unit has changed, adapted and sometimes been turned on it’s head completely. I think that’s the nature of a home educating mother – always tweaking and refining. I usually only plan one unit at a time, allowing God to lead us in the next character trait …
It seems as though I jumped the gun a bit in our nature challenges ;o). Last week we decided to do a little nature study on the Crocus, seeing as though our garden – in fact most of England’s sidewalks and byways – are a riot of Crocus colour. When I opened up Barb’s March newsletter, …
What I love about nature is that it always has the ability to surprise you and lead you down a different adventure trail that perhaps you had intended. Barb’s OHC has some great topics for March. One of the topics is ‘Spring Splendor’. I had it all mapped out in my mind. We were going to …

With an abundance of bare branches and twigs piercing the winter skies, it seems like the obvious thing to do is to take a closer look at them. Of course, it took Barb’s Twig Challenge to draw my attention to it – sometimes it is hard to see what is right before your eyes, so I am always so …
When people ask why we home school, it is always so difficult to put into words the myriad of reasons, God’s calling us to do so because His Word is clear, how He placed on our hearts how precious His children are to him, how if we are wanting to impact God’s kingdom we really …
Before you read this post. Wont you listen to this song in a prayerful attitude. Rest in Jesus and let Him minister to your heart… I think that it is fair to say as Christian home educators, that most of us who are teaching our little ones at home are doing to because we heard …
I know this weeks challenge was to study the pear tree. The problem is, in our neighbourhood, we are surrounded by loads of wonderful apple trees which just beg to be climbed, fruit picked and eaten on the spot! So we took a bit of liberty and focused on what is surrounding us in abundance …
