Our Story
It all started in my basement. I was laying out my homeschool curriculum one spring, trying to figure out what I was going to use to teach my girls Canadian history. It was an annual struggle. Every year I would get frustrated by the lack of quality resources and I would spend hours gathering books, videos, and a whole bunch or random printables, trying to piece together something useful. And as I sat there in a pile of books and papers, I thought it shouldn't be this hard.
Then, a thought, an idea started to come together.
​
I am a former teacher, turned homeschool-mom. And, I also have a degree in Canadian history.
I might be uniquely qualified to write Canadian history curriculum.
​
And so, I set out to create beautiful curriculum that made learning Canadian history fun and exciting! Something that made it easy for me to share my love and knowledge of Canadian history with my kids on our homeschooling journey.
​
I'm thrilled that I can share these resources with you and other homeschooling families!
