What We Use In Our Home

What We Use in Our Home is a collection of the books, resources, and simple tools that have quietly shaped the rhythm of our days. These are the things we return to again and again in our homeschool and home life—not because they are flashy or trendy, but because they are rich, meaningful, and lasting.

You’ll find beloved resources like the classic McGuffey Readers, gentle learning materials, living books, hands-on favorites, and pieces that encourage a well-taught, peaceful home. The McGuffey Readers have especially become a treasured part of our homeschool rhythm, helping cultivate strong reading, beautiful language, and character through timeless stories and lessons. Originally published in the 1800s, they shaped generations of readers and are still widely used in homeschool homes today.

Throughout this section, you’ll also find personal blog posts, guides, and encouragement about how we use these resources in our everyday life—from reading lessons and homeschool rhythms to creating a home filled with wonder, wisdom, and simplicity.

This is not about building a perfect homeschool. It is simply about filling our homes with good things, teaching our children faithfully, and choosing resources that help us slow down and teach deeply.
