Although we often continue homeschooling through the summer, we can't resist great weather. We definitively take on a more relaxed approach when the sun comes out. For us, summer is the time to enjoy the little things, the fun things, the finer things, the new things, the curious things, the delicious things. In fact there are so many things that we made a list of 100+ free (or almost free) ideas for summertime activities! Don't let the bucket list, or checklist stress you! While boredom is actually a great thing, these ideas are for the times when you need a...

If you've ever considered the Charlotte Mason philosophy of education, you should be familiar with this list. If homeschooling is new to you, read on, as the adoption of these principles in your home and parenting can change your life.

After over a year of staying at home, my family and I finally had the chance to travel. The kids wanted to go to the beach, so we headed to Florida for a little rest and relaxation. For the past several years, when travelling, we've chosen vacation rentals. I find you get personalized treatment, so much more for your money, and I love the fully equipped kitchen, laundry availability, and this time, the massive pool. This year, as we settled into our home for the week, our vacation rental gave us an unexpected surprise. For several years now, I have worked...

Mother's Day is fast approaching, and if you're anything like me, you will understand my struggle with gift-giving. I love giving gifts, but I am severely challenged when it comes to knowing what to give. So, in anticipation of Mother's Day, I took a poll of several of my friends who are great gift-givers, asking them for Mother's Day ideas that I can share with you. Together with a few of my own personal favorites, I built a list of 10 Mother's Day gifts that you can be sure she will love. 1. Lilly Pulitzer Ceramic Mug There's something about drinking coffee...

The one response I get EVERY SINGLE TIME from people when asked about homeschooling is: “I couldn’t never do that. I don’t have the patience.” Each time, I want to respond “Um…  Have we met?!” If you know me at all, you will know that I am probably the least patient person on the planet. So yes, homeschooling is a constant challenge to me because of this. But, because of the incredible benefits of homeschooling, I am always looking for ways to create a stress-free homeschool day. Stress management is super important for me. I have a pretty intense job as a nurse. I work 12...

It's been kind of crazy lately, hasn't it? With all of the changes and challenges we've had recently, I've been wanting to reach out to you, the hesitant, unprepared, or reluctant Homeschooling Mom. Maybe you were forced into homeschooling by the pandemic, maybe you've chosen homeschooling for other reasons, believing it to be the best choice for their families. I'm talking to you today. One of the best things I've seen emerge from this time of stress and uncertainty is a massive, brave, emerging group of proactive parents that are turning to homeschooling. In the past few...
