About our blog and resources…
Dear Liesl,
My name is Anna and I am a new homeschooling momma of 3 children.
I have been so overwhelmed by so much of what I try to find on the internet/pinterest etc. And equally overwhelmed by our purchased curriculum (Sonlight) which is wonderful, but still overwhelming…
And then I found you and your website…and for the first time since we started homeschooling our 3 children (ages 11, 9 and 6) this past December (2017), I now feel excited and confident and NOT overwhelmed and insecure!!!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your passion and desire to share what you have learned.
I am going to pass your site along with great joy. (I’m not on social media, but I can pass it via email!
I will be purchasing many of your unit studies.
Thank you again,
Sincerely,
Anna
Best regards!!! ~Fatima
Thank you so much for the resources that you have created. I am teaching year 8 lower literacy and numeracy classes and am finding your resources both helpful, valuable and time saving. The content I have been using in Science (The Rock Cycle), History (The Vikings and The Middle Ages), Maths (Foundation maths and Geometry) and English (Poetry and Grammar) have made it very easy for me to plan my lessons without having to “reinvent the wheel”. Often as teachers it is much less stressful to source resources and worksheets than to spend hours creating them ourselves, especially when we need to use different curriculum and year level resources for the students that need a bit of additional support. Your free resources are amazing and very generous and the price for resources that need to be purchased are very reasonable. I will continue to come back to your site and grab what I can for free and buy what I need since this frees up my time for planning, marking and also having a life outside of work. I am happy to highly recommend your site and again, thank you for saving my sanity.
Cheers
Doris
I just wanted to drop you a quick mail to say how amazing your resources are. Have been purchasing quite a few and adding to our collection every day. Wish I knew about you three years ago when I started our home ed journey in the UK. I simply can't tell you how much my son is enjoying them and what a difference it makes to us both. ~Homeschool Mum
About the Earth Science Packet…
Hi Liesl, All I can say is Wow! This packet was so thorough. The kids learned so much and especially loved the experiments and activities. Thank you! ~Evelyn

Great resource! I used this with a homeschool co-op and it saved me a lot of preparation time. Thank you! ~Karin
Thank you for the update! It’s a great resource and fits the Montessori curriculum nicely. ~Andrea
About the Cells Packet…
We really appreciate your hard work and dedication and it’s so amazing for our children, for example the cells packet, my children were 5,10 and 13 the first time we used and and they all got something out of it that they amazingly retained, I have found no other provider of materials that can be used for such a wide age range. We are going to cover it again in the new year when they will be 7,12 and 15 and no doubt their understanding will go even deeper. ~Janine
Very thorough and my 5th graders love feeling like they are “so smart”! ~Tiffany (classroom teacher)
I can’t wait to use this! ~Rose
