Adventures Of Our Charmed Life
A few months back, I attended a homeschool convention in Cincinnati. It was my third time attending, and just like the times before, I came away rejuvenated, refreshed, relaxed, and re-inspired. However, unlike the times before, I chose my workshops more carefully than I had …
Day 5 of our Christmas learning brought us to the African country of Ghana. We basically knew nothing about Ghana, but found the information we learned about the country very interesting! Ghana has recently experienced an economic boom as they are the world’s second largest …
Day 3 of our Christmas Around the World series brought us to…Sweden! Last year, we all decided that Norway was our favorite country to learn about. The Scandinavian countries know how to keep traditions and their entire mood and aesthetic is just cozy. Learning about …

Today is day 9 of our 10 day unit study! We went to… Peru! Christmas in Peru seems a little similar to New Years here! Family and friends gather to celebrate on Christmas Eve and radio stations play a countdown to midnight! Once the clock …
Day 8 took us to… Greece! Learning about Christmas in Greece makes me want to visit there even more. The deeply rooted traditions are so special (and a little odd!). I am sure we’ve all seen the Greeks in tv and movies- they know how …
