Reminder! This is still super important, especially as of today the first day of deer shotgun season in Massachusetts. I don’t care if it’s not fashionable or if you’re hiking on posted land or your own property, etc. it is very important to wear blaze orange outside. You, your kids and your pets need to be protected and visible .  we are sharing the woods with many sports men and women and we need to be respectful of each other and safety is top priority. 

ATTENTION FORAGERS, HIKERS & HOMESCHOOLING NATURE LOVERS:

The weather has been beautiful for exploring in nature, but please remember that it is hunting season in Massachusetts from now until January 1 2026. 

We are sharing the forest with the sportsman and women out there hunting so please proceed with caution. I recommend wearing an orange hat and vest. all in your party including the dog. It’s not about fashion, it’s about safety. Let’s share the beautiful forests and all that mother nature has to offer us safely and respectfully💕🌱

This is a super cool page to follow with all sorts of interesting information about Massachusetts!
I stumbled across this page yesterday when it randomly showed up in my feed and I’ve been learning so much and will definitely be incorporating this page into our local history lessons!

For instance, did you know that the song Mary had a Little Lamb originated in Sterling Massachusetts is based on a true story?

Or that they found a mummified monkey in the rafters of the Boston Garden when they were renovating?

Lots of interesting information about Boston and other Massachusetts towns.

Check out their page!

Our homeschool journey has had me doing some crazy funny things that I never thought I’d be doing. I learned so much right alongside the kids and we do some pretty fun projects.

Back in early 2025 we had done an Egyptian studies unit with our homeschool co-op. We learned a lot and did a lot of fun projects, including the mummifications of some apples. The apples came out pretty cool, but my favorite part of the project was the little chicken that we mummified. One of the girls in the group gave him the name “little Jimmy”… little Jimmy was left to sit in our mummifying concoction for a few months and when I took him out, I put him in a Ziploc bag and he’s just been sitting on a shelf until yesterday when I decided to check on him and make sure that his mummification process was complete and he was not squishy or moldy or anything disgusting.

I was pleased to find that he was in fantastic condition, so my daughter and I decided it was time to finish the project and wrap our friend a little Jimmy. Little Jimmy will be moving to our homeschool co-op space this week but for now he sits on my mantle and I just laugh😆

Yes, this is silly and some might think it was disgusting but these are the things that help the kids to learn and remember the lessons as an experience, not just a little blip of knowledge that they will easily forget. Our homeschool education is an experience to say the least.

*Even though that’s not where his eyes would normally be, we thought little Jimmy needed some googly eyes 🤣

Have you been to Stage On Main in Orange? If not, I highly recommend you check it out! It’s a fabulous store right on the main street with some amazing products from local crafters.
(Shameless plug, you can get my magnesium cream at stage on main as well! Wild Willow Holistics😁)

My daughter and I stopped in today to check out out the new gallery space that just opened and we really enjoyed it!! it’s a quick walk-through a pretty large space connected to the store with art of all styles from a variety of local artist. We particularly enjoyed the large mermaids and the Native American/wigwam series of paintings.
We are in the process of reading the Birchbark House, book series, and these beautiful paintings brought the story to life for us! “Mom that looks like Omakayas!”

If you are looking for a nice local outing stop
By State On Main and check it out! While you are there don’t forget to stop in a few doors down for lunch at Corner Cafe and to check out Scrafty DIY Workshop!

I love seeing organizations in the community like the YMCA offer homeschool family programs!

My family won’t be doing this program because we co-op on Thursdays, but I hope others find this post helpful! Looks like a fun program!

Funny thing happened last night… my husband and I brought my son and his friend to an open house at Franklin County technical high school. You know I’m not a huge fan of the public system, but my eighth grader really wants to go to the tech school and try out public school for high school. The only public school option I am even remotely comfortable with is this one. I graduated from there many moons ago and I still use my trade to this day. Trade schools are important and of real value in the community. 

We were seated on the bleachers in the gym and random staff members were asking people if they wanted to be in their group to go on a tour so we ended up in a group guided by a teacher that we did not know with a few other families, also strangers to us.  Come to find out, we were in a group of homeschoolers! There were at least three families in that group that currently homeschool, including the teacher leading the group who has six homeschool children at home! What are the odds?!

I feel like the homeschoolers are magnetically drawn together.

Even within the walls of a public school, the homeschoolers found each other 😆

Super gross!

We did a lot of swabing and testing last school year with our homeschool co-op and the results were disturbing!

FYI, you can buy petri dishes on Amazon to do your own testing and it’s a pretty cool science experiment!
