Sankta Lucia 2022

Yesterday was Sankta Lucia Day! This was our 5th year celebrating this Swedish holiday and it’s become one of our favorite parts of the Christmas season. I love the symbolism of light in the darkness and how it always makes us think of Jesus Christ as the light of the world. I also love how...

Pioneer Unit 2022

We temporarily turned half of the shed into a mini log cabin. I loved creating it so much. In my dream world we would have a real log cabing tucked into a little patch of forest on our land. We hosted a pioneer activity for several other Well-Educated Heart homeschool families because 1800’s...

The Power of Storytelling

I’ve been thinking about storytelling. I’ll tell you my thoughts through a story… My Grandma passed away a few years ago and my mom and her siblings have been slowly going through old photos, paperwork, etc. I recently got copies of my grandparents’ home video tapes so I can digitize them. It’s been really fun...
