Curriculum Review: Idlewild & Co

I’m excited to share a review of Idlewild & Company’s Bible and nature study curriculum. I had been curious about Idlewild & Company for a while after seeing glimpses on Instagram. However, I had not seen many people sharing about it in my quest for more information.

The Organic Studies is the nature study, and The Word Studies is the Bible curriculum. I’ll refer to them as their proper titles here. I didn’t realize what a brilliant idea blending these two subjects was until teaching these lessons. They go together hand-in-hand so seamlessly!

I’m hoping after reading this post, you’ll have a good idea of what to expect with this curriculum and how it may fit within your homeschool or not. I will share everything I wish I knew before using it.

This post is our full review of the Idlewild & Company Word and Organic Studies.

Idlewild & Company: Curriculum Review

I first noticed Idlewild & Company on Instagram, and it looked like an encouraging and engaging curriculum. Jenese, the creator of the curriculum, reached out to ask if I wanted to try one of her studies for review. In looking at the samples, and in thinking of the ages of my children (then 7, 10, and 13 years old) I was drawn to The Word Studies.

The Word Studies is designed for elementary aged students, but I easily and joyfully use it with all of my children even outside of this age bracket. The look of the study was different from others because there were no colorful illustrations, nothing to cut out or color.

In fact, there was no color at all. Just black and white pages, without pictures, just words. Not just any words though. It was the Word of God, and also provided a great script for parents to read aloud to break down each passage to make it meaningful and relatable to a child.

As we went through these lessons, I soon realized how it had become the most important work in our homeschool. The heart of Idlewild & Co and the intentionality behind each word, and the simplistic design, is solid and genuine.

The Word Studies

The Word Studies is a 34-week long Bible study that does an amazing job of linking nature to God’s word. Each week, there are typically 4 lessons that can take about 10-15 minutes each. The fact that each lesson is rooted in Scripture, ties it to nature, and has meaning and depth in the discussion and application is so beautiful.

Each day is designed with parent-led discussions in mind. One of my favorite parts is how there is a “Bearing Testimony” section on particular lessons where you are encouraged to share something from your own walk with Jesus that relates to the lesson. This sparked a few great discussions, and prompted my children to realize that mom is a person who has lived some life too.

I cannot fully express how impressed I am with this curriculum. It brings the Bible to life for us as a family by making connections to nature and our personal experiences. There are no bells or whistles, but does the Bible need anything more than reading and reflection?

The Word Studies

The Organic Studies

Okay, so The Word Studies impressed me SO much, that I had to see how The Organic Studies paired along with it. The Organic Studies is 34-week nature study curriculum that is designed as secular, and matches lesson for lesson alongside The Word Studies.

Areas of study:

  • Science (including Botany, Zoology, Oceanography, Geology, and Astronomy – see topic list below!)
  • Art
  • Language Arts
  • Letter Work (for younger children)
  • Creative Movement
  • Naturalist History/Field Specific Historical Highlights
  • Nature Exploration
  • Play

While the Word Studies are fitting for all ages in my opinion, the Organic Studies are better suited for the elementary years. My middle schooler listened in at times, but we agreed it was more exciting for the younger children. It has the same minimalist design with no illustrations or color, however, it does include a suggested booklist for each unit.

If you have preschool through 5-6th grade aged students, this would be a great addition! The two studies work incredibly well together, and I would highly recommend both for nature and Bible appreciation. It can easily integrate with your morning time rhythm.

Do You Need The Word and The Organic Studies

If you can only afford the time or money to use one of these, I would highly recommend the Word Studies because it works for all ages and has been so impactful in our morning time. However, if you can, and you have elementary aged children, I would completely recommend using these together as designed!

It is structured in tandem so you would do your Organic Studies first, and then follow it up with the supplemental Word Studies lesson. Together, they can take about 30 minutes for 4 days a week. Fitting for a morning time lesson or night time lesson as a family. They pair together effortlessly, and help both nature and Bible come alive so well.

Additional Books Suggested

The Word Studies is easy, and you don’t need any supplemental books. You can use your Bible, but any referenced Scripture is printed within the daily lesson pages.

The Organic Studies includes a robust picture book list. A handful are required in that they are referenced often, while many are suggested and referenced, but not totally necessary. Our approach was to borrow everything we could from the library, and forgo the books our library did not have. I would just need to remember to renew my borrowed books if we needed them longer than the allowable time. It can get pricey if you decide to purchase each book recommended.

This summer, we’ll be giving their art curriculum, The Art Studies a whirl. If you have any other questions about Idlewild & Co curriculum, let me know in the comments! You can use my code “juiceboxhomeschool” for 10% off anything in their shop!

It was an all-family-on-deck weekend at @cheaofca It was an all-family-on-deck weekend at @cheaofca for the @apologiaworld booth. 

I loved meeting some of you, and chatting about homeschooling. My kids were so helpful and loved sharing their personal experiences using and growing with Apologia science for so many years. 

Also I was encouraged to meet many families who were planning to begin their very first year of homeschooling this fall. So excited for you! 🎉 

Sharing online about homeschooling has its awesome moments, but talking to you in person about it is a JOY!

As my kids grow in their independence, I am taking As my kids grow in their independence, I am taking on a bit more work, and the timing couldn’t be better.

If you’re a working mom, check out this beautiful 2025-2026 Work Planner from @passionatepennypincher (gifted). It is not only pretty, but so functional as I have been using one diligently for the last 2 years.

My rookie tip is having it sit next to you as you work and/or homeschool to quickly jot down ideas and reminders as they pop into your head during a read aloud. It happens so often!

A simple yet effective practice we aim for over al A simple yet effective practice we aim for over all these years is SHORT LESSONS.

It may seem easy, but if you have children asking for “one more chapter,” or who love to do lessons in those early elementary years of innate wonder, it is tempting to let lessons linger. However, I have had to stop myself from reading on in order to build the habit of attention and cover a breadth of subjects with a positive attitude.

“Not the number of subjects but the hours of work bring fatigue to the scholar.”

The meaning of short lessons can vary depending on the age and temperament of your children. I have value in committing to short lessons because of the effect it has on my kids’ love of learning. 

Does this practice give you a feeling of challenge or a feeling of relief?

I remember thinking Sally Clarkson’s words in Th I remember thinking Sally Clarkson’s words in The Life-Giving. Home sounded so far away. My kids were still in the single digits and the thought of focusing education on an atmosphere, discipline, and a life felt big. Here I was trying to survive.

Now that all my kids are in the double digits, I feel the urge to re-read her book. Asking yourself how do you want your children to think back on their childhood definitely deserves its moment. We have now, and are not guaranteed much more.

The intentionality of how we set our home life to be provides a direction for our next steps. The simplest  practices and habits can change the tone and attitude toward learning and family life. For today, that means putting down my inbox and pulling out the ice cream after lunch. 😋

Balancing parenting and teaching is tricky in ever Balancing parenting and teaching is tricky in every season as a homeschool mom, but the teen years bring a whole new layer.

Because now, at least for me, it’s not just about lesson plans and corrected math problems. It’s a temptation to fire hose spray all the life lessons - how to manage time, how to cope with overwhelm, how to avoid the trap of people-pleasing, how to fail and not fall apart.

Oftentimes, I say too much. Other times, I say nothing and wonder if I missed a moment. It’s this quiet wrestle of discerning when to speak and when to wait - when to guide and when to let them come to you.

It’s not easy. It is an art that I have much to learn. There are days I second-guess if I’m doing enough or doing too much. But what’s helping me is learning that the long game matters more than the quick fix. That listening is often more powerful than lecturing. And that connection doesn’t involve constant correction.

If you’re navigating the teen years and figuring out how to wear both the parent and mentor hat, I’m right here with you.

I’d love to know - how do you decide when to lean in and when to pull back with your teens? Share some wisdom in the comments.

Homeschooling the middle school years has a very s Homeschooling the middle school years has a very special place in my heart. I recall being in 7th grade and telling myself to NEVER become a middle school teacher because I thought the kids were so naughty.

However, now that I have indeed become a teacher to middle schoolers, I realize what a crucial opportunity we have. Such impressionable minds and eager hearts to grapple with their growth and independence. 

This book bundle is designed for the middle school years and includes stories of faith, courage, compassion, and more. I am excited to read them in our mornings (they are suitable for the range of ages of all my kids).

One thing I appreciate about these is that they have been re-published by @generations.ministries in original form and content. Take a closer look at this bundle by commenting “middle school” and I will send you the site!

I’ll never forget the moment one of my kids inte I’ll never forget the moment one of my kids interjected during a history read-aloud book to say, “Wait, is this a true story?”

That’s the beauty of using living books as a tool in your homeschool, especially for history. Instead of skimming over names and dates, we enter into a story. We have walked through ancient cities, eavesdropped on world changers, and felt the weight of big decisions made by real people (or at least in real settings).

For my soon-to-be 5th and 8th graders, we’re using a rich, literature-based history curriculum next year, and I’m already swooning over the book list. It’s the kind of resource that sparks conversations at lunch and lingers in their thoughts long after we close the book.

Curious what we’re using? Comment “history curriculum” below and I’ll send you the link!

I started homeschooling my daughter when she was j I started homeschooling my daughter when she was just 5 years old, with a heart full of hope (and some fear). Not long after, I also had a vision shaped largely by the Charlotte Mason philosophy - one rooted in truth, goodness, and beauty. 

Now she’s halfway through high school, and I find myself grateful for the foundation that’s quietly and steadily been laid over the years:
• Giving her best effort, even when it’s hard
• The habit of attention in both work and wonder
• Family Bible study grounding our days in truth and ongoing inner work
• A genuine love for reading that spills into every part of life
• The stamina to read widely and narrate with thoughtfulness
• Eyes and ears aware of beauty and a heart that appreciates the arts

This journey hasn’t been by-the-book or easy for both of us, but it’s been rich and sanctifying. And what a gift it’s been to be stretched alongside her. 

If you are just behind me or just getting started in your homeschool journey, I encourage you to faithfully move forward each day in the disciplines and good habits. Anything good takes remaining in Him and time to develop and grow. 

Here’s to the second half of high school - and the lifelong learning that continues beyond it. Are you hoping to homeschool in high school too? What are your feelings about it?

📖 For myself: Lift Your Eyes by Whitney Newby, if you’re familiar anything created by @brighterdaypress you already know this is thoughtful, practical, and nourishing to your mom heart.

📖 With my small group: Everyday Evangelism by Preston Perry, an insightful and down-to-earth look at how to make use of your daily norm for the Kingdom.

📖 With all of my kids: Rich Routines by Steve Houghton, this is the first time in a while I’ve selected a non-fiction book to read aloud altogether. It is practical, useful, and timely for us.

📖 With my high school daughter: Answering the Guy Questions by Leslie Ludy, our second book reading together by this author. She resets the standard for the character of young men that young women can seek out. I am also gaining insight for my son while reading this book.

📖 With my middle school son: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Stephen Covey, a favorite of my daughter’s, my son is now enjoying this practical book!

📖 History read alouds with my 7th and 4th graders: Basher Five-Two and Misty of Chincoteague, both are readers suggested by @notgrasshistory curriculum we are working through. We just finished Basher Five-Two today, which was a thrilling account of a pilot whose plane was shot down in Bosnia. We’ll begin Misty tomorrow!

So many reasons to be grateful for homeschooling i So many reasons to be grateful for homeschooling in the teen years!✨ While many of these things can be accomplished without homeschooling, for our family, they would be incredibly difficult to execute. 

Back in the early years, when I was exhausted but still reading yet one more picture book or scraping paste and pasta off the table - I never imagined what was waiting on the other side. 

If you’re in the trenches, wondering if homeschooling through the teen years is worth it, let me encourage you: stick it out for the long run. The gift of preserved time together is invaluable, but perhaps one of the greatest blessings has been how the Lord is working *in me* - I never expected that homeschooling my teens would also be a masterclass in humility and growth for me! And for that, I’m deeply grateful. 🤍 

Would love to hear from other homeschool moms - what has surprised you most about the teen years? ⬇️ Or if you’re almost there, what fears do you have?

The balance of family studies and high school work The balance of family studies and high school work load has been tricky this year.

One thing that has helped is having a loop schedule of subjects we enjoy studying together. This reel is a sample, but not totally accurate picture since every week varies.

Some subjects we are studying together in a daily rotation are the book of Proverbs, music appreciation, spanish, slang words, worship songs, art, and character studies.

Flexibility is key over the past couple of years. That is the benefit of a loop schedule because if you need to skip a day, you just do the next thing tomorrow. It’s been a season of releasing rigidity and embracing the time we do have together.

Do you use a loop schedule for your family studies or for extra curricular subjects? Let me know what you’re studying! It is so inspiring to hear the range of topics covered in a loop.
