Anyone who has ever visited the blog Sweet Sweet Life knows that its author, Amy, loves posting home tours of bright, colorful spaces across the globe. Now it’s time to turn the tables on Amy and her family as we take a look into her supurb craft slash homeschooling room. Although the family is new to homeschooling (they were only four weeks into homeschooling their oldest daughter during this interview), they already had a space they felt would be perfect for learning at home. Come inside and take a peek at the beautiful crafty/homeschooly room of Sweet Sweet Life!

Once Spring starts to make its appearance, generally through days of sunshine followed quickly with dark clouds and cold weather, the thought of Summer comes to mind. For some children, Summer means camp– typically considered a necessary rite of childhood for many. Once a child becomes a certain age, there’s a chance he probably doesn’t want to go canoeing with his bunkmates anymore. If that’s the situation in your family, there’s a different type of summer experience that can be both fun and educational (not to mention, it looks great on a college application).

Have you ever considered having your child study at a university for the summer?

It all started simply enough: I needed to get my children passports so we could visit their aunt in Germany. As we went through the process of applying for our passports, I thought it might be fun to give my children their own version of a passport that they could use, as it is safe to say I wouldn’t hand my 4-year-old his official passport for the day.

That simple idea started my family on a global adventure, one we were able to take without ever leaving the couch!
