Creating a homeschool schedule can feel like a daunting task, especially if you are a newer homeschool mom. It doesn’t have to be, though! I love all the planning and scheduling that goes into our homeschool…maybe that’s just me? Now, there have been times and seasons where I am just flying by the seat of my pants, and we have gotten by just fine. However, as I have added more babies and more students into the fold, I have…
Homeschool organization is one of those topics we love to discuss as homeschool moms. Teacher storage and homeschool record keeping is just as important, if not more, than student organization. We can have a perfectly designed homeschool room, but if you have no organization as a teacher, that won’t matter much, will it? I tend to be pretty simple when it comes to my homeschool organization. I am teaching 4 students now and will add more in the years to…
Before we start choosing our homeschool curriculum, I want you to know that homeschooling does not have to ruin your family budget. Families in all different income levels successfully homeschool. It is again one of those things that you can cater to your unique family. We have been a one income family since my oldest child was born, so I am accustomed to finding ways to save money to help out my family. Now I do work from home, but…
One of the most rewarding aspects of homeschooling is the ability to tailor your child’s education specifically to their needs. It’s the reason many families choose to homeschool in the first place! Whether it’s due to special need or a simply a desire for more flexibility, it’s wonderful to be able to choose what works for you and what doesn’t. Have you heard of love languages? Consider learning styles in the same light. We each see things through our own…
Mission Statements and Goals for your homeschool? Yes, hear me out. You do not need a Homeschool Mission Statement, but I can tell you that having one does give you a focus when times get tough. And times will get tough as a homeschool mom, that I can promise you. A family mission for our homeschool gives us a clear path as to why we homeschool and what our priorities are. It states our big picture goals for the education…
BACK TO HOMESCHOOL! I love back to school season, how about you? I know we don’t typically follow the back to school calendar, but it’s still an exciting time for homeschoolers. There are always a whole bunch of back-to-school supply checklists. What about homeschoolers? Do you have a homeschool supply checklist? Or do you just fly by the seat of your pants and hope you got everything? Today I am going to share with you some of our favorites…
Where are all my planner friends? I know there’s a lot of you! Today I am sharing something I’m a bit obsessed with lately… I am giving an inside look at my new DaySpring 18 Month Planner and showing you how I am planning on using it for the upcoming month. This is an 18 month planner and I have some tips to help you decorate and organize your planner! You may have seen that DaySpring and Illustrated Faith just came out…
Hello everyone! I’m super excited to bring the newest Illustrated Faith I AM Devotional Kit to you today! They partnered with Melisa Garcia from Pie in The Sky this month and I think you are really going to love her artwork but, most importantly, her heart in this kit. In the Illustrated Faith ‘I Am’ devotional kit, Melisa Garcia invites you on a two-week journey to dig deeper into knowing Christ. “I learned early on that if I wanted to know who I…
Lately I’ve been on a mission to simplify my life as much as possible, as a stay at home mom. I was determined not to go through another year feeling like I could never catch up and yet was missing out on the most important things in my life. I have simplified my cleaning routine, my children’s chores, my meal planning, my schedule and my business. As a stay at home mom and as a mom who works at home, I…
Do you long to have more time in your day? Do you wish you had enough time to check off everything on your to-do list? Do you feel like you will never catch up, like there is always something that needs to be done? Yeah, me too. As a wife, mom to eight children, homeschooler, business owner, homemaker, animal owner and then some…I know how it feels to look at the endless task list you set and wonder how…
