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. With soft play areas and plenty of space for climbing, it was a perfect place for our little ones to burn off some energy. And on those days when we felt like getting some fresh air, the outdoor playground was just a short stroll away, ready for even more fun.

Why Poetry Matters for Kids (and How to Make It Fun!)

And it’s one of the most powerful tools we can use to help them grow into thoughtful, creative, and confident learners.

The Impact of Media on Our Homes: Protecting Our Peace as Families

Let’s be honest: media isn’t “just” entertainment. Every show, movie, or ad comes with messages and ideas that can subtly influence the way we think. Over time, these messages add up and shape how our kids see themselves and the world. When we allow media to flow in unfiltered, it enters the heart of our family life, and suddenly, we’re not the only ones guiding the values and perspectives that shape our home.
