There was a time, in the not-so-distant past that I thought I had my homeschool perfectly organized. Books were categorized on the shelves according to year and term, all supplies were arranged perfectly, and I had a beautiful Excel spreadsheet, breaking down our day in 15-30 minute sections according to subject. That may make me sound a little psychotic, but in my defense, I worked full-time as a night-shift nurse, and I strongly believed that in order to succeed in homeschooling my children, I had to be militant about our schedule. After a couple of years, being...

A second year of pandemic schooling has started, and although some schools are open and operating as usual, many are choosing operate in a more restrictive manner. As veteran homeschoolers, these choices have little effect on us. We have found ways to adapt and we are happy to share them with you! One way to still get a variety of experiences, and to provide various interactive lessons, is to turn to digital. Now, I'm not a huge fan of digital over reality, but this is a time when we all need to compromise! I would...

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...

I knew before we started homeschooling that there would be challenges.   Knowing myself and my children, I even knew what our biggest challenges would be!  Sure enough, I have not been disappointed… Why Did We Originally Consider Homeschooling? One thing that originally really compelled me to consider homeschooling was observing my son in his preschool environment.  While the rest of the kids would sit quietly, cross-legged in a circle listening to a story, he would be jumping up and down in the background, listening in his own way.  It was a loving and accepting school with very small class sizes, so the fact that my...
