As a homeschool mom, I'm constantly looking for ways to add educational value to our days without adding a ton of extra worksheets and schoolbooks. Don't get me wrong, we have some great curricula that we really enjoy. But as homeschoolers, we often learn best when we're engaged in some way other than a textbook. (And I say "we" because I consider myself less of a "teacher" and more of a "lead learner." I've thoroughly enjoyed learning right along with my kids!)
