From Homeschool to College: How Sora Helps Teens Build Transcripts, Portfolios, and Passions
Once your child hits the high school years, everything shifts. The questions get bigger. The decisions feel heavier.

Accreditation – If pursuing a diploma, is the program accredited?
What If Practice Is the Missing Piece? Why Personalized Journeys Changed the Game for Us
We already know our kids are bright. We’re the ones sitting beside them, watching how their minds work and what lights them up. But in the homeschool world, it’s easy to undervalue practice because we’re so allergic to anything that feels like school for the sake of school. I get it—I’ve been there. But here's the truth: practice isn’t the problem. Boring, disconnected, outdated practice is.

The Joy of Watching My Kids Learn a New Language—And Why It Matters More Than Ever
Children are naturally wired for language. Their brains are flexible and open to new sounds, patterns, and concepts in a way that adults often lose over time.

Adapting Homeschool Strategies for Every Age
Homeschooling isn’t one-size-fits-all—trust me, I know! With a teenager, a tween, and a toddler at home, I’ve had to adapt my approach at every stage. What works for my two-year-old definitely doesn’t work for my 13-year-old, and finding the right balance has been a learning process for all of us.

the Magic of St. Patrick’s Day: How to bring it into Your Homeschool
One of our favorite traditions is setting up a leprechaun door. The week leading up to St. Patrick’s Day, we put out a tiny door, sprinkle some “gold dust” (gold glitter or confetti), and let the excitement build. Every day, the kids wake up to find signs that a mischievous leprechaun has come through—little green footprints, fun educational activities/scavenger hunts, or even a tiny and encouraging note left behind. It’s a simple but memorable way to create a little holiday magic.

Finding Home Away from Home: Our Stay at Fraser Suites Singapore
It’s not often that we find a place that feels just as tailored for kids as it does for adults, but Fraser Suites really nailed it. The indoor children’s playground was a hit right from the start.
