How to Plan for Outside Time in the Winter

How to Plan for Outside Time in the Winter

Winter has been bitter this year and if you’re in any part of the Northern United States, winter can be dreadfully cold. For me, snowflakes and fresh fallen powdery snow can make winter magical. A soft and light dusting that glimmers across the canopy of the forrest can be breathtakingly beautiful. ... VIEW POST

7 Natural Sensory Benefits Of Nature Walks

I previously wrote about the 7-benefits-of-nature-walks. In which I briefly discussed the natural sensory benefits that nature walks and extensive amount of time outdoors provide. Upon review of that article, I realized a considerable amount of information was missing, and that the natural sensory ... VIEW POST

A Charlotte Mason Inspired Lesson About Autumn

We recently took a spontaneous field trip to a close friend's family farm. Fifty acres of pure beautiful nature which included a chestnut grove, apple orchard, pear orchard, and three ponds. I was in nature heaven. Oh, and so were the kids. In fact, the chestnut part was a bit of a surprise for ... VIEW POST

The Great Hunt For New Math Curriculum

The Great Hunt For New Math Curriculum

I'm beginning to think that finding new curriculum is like trying to find the missing sock that went into the dryer but never came out. It becomes a great hunt, sifting through baskets and dresser drawers, going back to the dryer then checking the lint trap. Staring for several seconds into the back ... VIEW POST

Inspired By Charlotte Mason-Homeschooling The Toddler

For most homeschooling mom's we see a title like that and I think we retreat. The truth is, most of us see homeschooling much different then what the schools do. It isn't school at home, it is homeschool, right? No, I don't do school with my toddler but I do teach him. Right now he learns the ... VIEW POST

About Sarah

Just the name of my blog gives me away. Hi, There! I am Sarah Bliss, author of Holistic Homeschooler. I am happily married to the man of my dreams and together we raise two adorable children

We obviously homeschool and believe home education is more than academics.

I hold a personal philosophy that homeschooling is holistic and encompasses the whole child-body, mind, heart, spirit.

When I refer to the spirit, I mean the holy spirit. That ones own spirit needs daily nourishment from the word of God.

I  homeschool mainly using a Charlotte Mason Philosophy of Education. I absolutely love nature which is why the nature study aspect of Charlotte’s philosophy really speaks to me. We spend hours outside, on nature walks or the occasional hike.

Additionally, I have a burning desire to take our homeschool Journey on the road and share our travel adventures with anyone who will read or listen. Yet, this is a plan in progress so for now we are casually road-schooling.

Finally-I am a Registered Nurse, with the heart to spread educational information on health, wellness, and physical fitness. 

I hope to be a source of encouragement and inspiration as we travel along this homeschool journey together.

My oldest started her next level/form/grade the first week of August. We took a week off when we went to see the Columbus ships plus Thanksgiving break. Now it’s Christmas month and we are halfway through term 2 so I say it’s a great time to celebrate advent. Maybe leisurely do some of the cores like math and reading lessons. Otherwise, the focus has become a peaceful advent. What are you doing? Are you cuddled up watching Christmas movies or how about a good Christmas book? Have you read the sparkle box? 🤩
