Why would we welcome things into our homes for one day that we wouldn’t want influencing our lives throughout the rest of the year?
If something would trouble us in February or June, what changes when October arrives?
That question is part of why our family is choosing not to celebrate Halloween. But the more I consider it, the more I realize this reaches beyond one holiday.
Sometimes it feels as though the world is taking over our thoughts, lives, and homes one season at a time. There is always something we’re encouraged to buy, display, watch, or participate in.
I’ve started asking myself: Are we prayerfully choosing the rhythm of our home, or simply following whatever comes next?
These convictions have grown over time.
Things I once accepted without much thought have started to trouble me. Recently, I’ve felt more and more convicted, and changes are being made in our lives.
We’re reconsidering what we celebrate, what we watch, how we decorate, and what receives our attention.

I’m so excited to announce that this is finally finished! It’s not quite the same format as our previous unit studies, but they will be so educational and entertaining for the whole family. I am giving you a chance to download the PDF right now as I continue to work on adding links to the weekly lesson plans. I am hoping to have them ready by next month…
As the autumn air crisps and we head into the colder months, there is nothing quite like gathering the kids around a cozy fire for storytime. But what if your read-aloud time could double as your entire homeschool curriculum? This week, our family dove deep into the breathtaking, frosty world of the Dakota Territory with The Long Winter by Laura Ingalls Wilder**. Reading about how the Ingalls family survived the historic blizzards of 1880 sparked so many questions about history, survival, and science that I knew I had to build something bigger. If you are looking to trade dry textbooks for a rich, immersive living book experience, here is how you can transform this classic frontier tale into a rigorous, hands-on 6-week unit study for your middle schooler.
