A Homeschool Outing to "Charlotte's Web "at the Doug Smith Performance Center



Recently, I had the pleasure of taking my kids, along with some friends from our homeschool community, to the Doug Smith Performance Center in Georgetown, Texas, for a live production of Charlotte's Web. The performance brought E.B. White’s classic story to life with such charm and creativity that it captivated kids and adults alike. This experience was not only entertaining but also rich in educational value, sparking conversations about friendship, loyalty, and the magic of storytelling.

About the Doug Smith Performance Center

Located in the heart of Georgetown, the Doug Smith Performance Center provides a fantastic space for educational and family-friendly performances. The center offers various shows throughout the year designed to engage young audiences, making it a perfect destination for homeschoolers looking to supplement their learning with the arts.

Educational Performances for All Ages

The center is committed to supporting education through the arts, offering numerous educational performances specifically crafted for school and homeschool groups. These shows introduce children to live theater in a way that connects with their studies and sparks curiosity. Each production is chosen with young audiences in mind, making it a great resource for homeschool families.

Our Experience Watching Charlotte's Web

Watching Charlotte's Web together was a wonderful way for the kids to experience literature through a new lens. Seeing Wilbur, Charlotte, and the other characters live on stage brought the story to life in a way that reading alone can’t fully capture. The kids were completely drawn into the friendship between Wilbur and Charlotte, and the themes of sacrifice and loyalty were beautifully conveyed. 

If you’re in the Georgetown area, I highly recommend checking out the Doug Smith Performance Center. It's a valuable resource for homeschoolers to experience the arts, enrich their learning, and make memories with friends and family.

Dish Duty: The Hidden Joys of a Full Sink

Why Having Dishes in the Sink is More Important Than You Think When you walk into a kitchen and see dishes piled high in the sink, you might think, “What a mess!” However, there’s more to this scene than meets the eye. Having dishes in the sink can serve several important functions in our daily lives, especially when viewed through the lens of the Gospel. 1. **A Reflection of Real Life** Firstly, dishes in the sink are a testament to life being lived. They represent moments of connection, creativity, and sustenance—much like the communal meals shared in Scripture. Jesus often broke bread with others, illustrating the importance of fellowship. Embracing the clutter in our own lives can remind us that our homes are spaces of activity and warmth, not just perfection. 2. **Encouraging Mindfulness** Seeing dishes in the sink can serve as a prompt for mindfulness. Instead of immediately rushing to clean, take a moment to reflect on the blessings that led to those dishes. Each plate and utens...
