Trip Preparation with Culture Smart Guidebooks // Colombia

Homeschooling allows us to continue traveling with the littles. Each trip opens up a study of art, cuisine and culture. The prep work and lesson planning was easy to do in Europe, where I had a strong knowledge of the culture and history of places we traveled. As we plan for our next big adventure […]

Homeschool Room Tour

When looking for a house in Florida I wanted to find the perfect space to set up our homeschool room. We looked at homes with detached buildings and others with extra bedrooms that were perfect backdrops for a homeschool room. My homeschool room Pinterest board was overflowing with ideas. As luck would have it, the […]

Tales for Tiny Travelers // Review

This post contains affiliate links. I’m always looking for children’s books that link our travels with history.

Dutch Language Resources for Expat Children

We’ve been in the Netherlands for over two years now. The Big Little is a fluent Dutch speaker, the Middle Little is well on his way and our Little Little responds to some Dutch commands. Jeff and I still don’t speak Dutch but we can read and understand enough to manage life. We decided very […]

Harry Potter Bookstore: Porto, Portugal

This is one of those Pinterest finds Jeff hates. I send him a random picture and say “We have to go here!” This one wasn’t hard to find. The Livraria Lello Bookshop is quite popular, so popular you need a ticket to enter. If you buy a book, the 4 Euro price is subtracted from […]

The Illustrated Book of Sayings // Book Review & Giveaway

“Oh! You’ve got chicken skin” says another mother to me on the school playground. I stare at her blankly. Turns out she is talking about my goosebumps and thinks I should have worn my jacket. Later, I’m using Google Translate to help me understand a WhatsApp conversation and find the phrase “it was like an angel […]
