Top 30 Homeschool Blogs by Top Education Degrees: Your Guide to the Best Education Degrees first awarded my blog in 2014!
The author of the article Tracey M. Armstrong, Ph.D. in Education from the University of Virginia homeschools too!
Best Social Studies Blog (#26 on the list): Teacups in the Garden
Describing my blog she beautifully wrote: With an invitation to join the author in her garden of life, this blog takes readers on an exploration into history, their homeschooling journey, trips to fascinating places, and their latest projects in quilting, sewing and historical costume design.
Then she featured one of my signature posts: How do I Plan Becoming History presentations?
Thank you Top Education Degrees for the recognition!

COMMENTS WHILE OUT AND ABOUT
While having some linen fabric cut at JoAnn Fabric, the young guy helping us asked what I was making. I replied I needed it to finish an 18th century hunting frock for my son. The guy asked my son, “Cool! When will you wear it, while reenacting?” My son explained about visiting CW in costume. That led to more questions where he asked where the kids were schooled. We said we were homeschoolers and I added that we do history presentations in costume. “Wow! You’re a fun teacher!” the guy exclaimed. He said he was homeschooled through 6th grade but was sent to public school to finish his education. He said it was so boring because he had already learned everything his classmates were learning. -July 30, 2012
