I homeschooled my youngest son through graduation. That experience taught me how important it is to make learning our country's history fun.

I made a free unit study on the Boston Tea Party that you can share with your child.

Mountain Rails of Old. "The overall mystery, the extra special element that Uncle Benjamin discovered, and the romance kept me deeply involved. My favorite of this series so far.”

JB Pritzker: “Whenever the president talks about somebody critically, it’s often projection about what he himself is insecure about. Each of the things he said about me, they’re all true about him. I can take it. I am not afraid of this president.”

Stephen froze like a deer in the headlights and pretended to have connection issues because he unintentionally gave away the game plan.

“Plenary authority is complete, absolute power over a specific area or issue, with no significant limitations."

📜 In 1774, printing the truth could get you arrested—or worse. That’s where the kids of Seeds of Rebellion find themselves—inside a colonial print shop where courage was inked into every page.
