Why I Can't Give Up Homeschooling, Even on the Hard Days

I would like to pose a very simple question: What is education? This seems simple on the surface, but this is actually much, much deeper than meets the eye.  This is the question that keeps me going on even the hardest days of homeschooling. Even on the days when I swear to myself that we are making a huge mistake and I'm enrolling them in school and putting them on that big yellow bus tomorrow.  I have a Master's Degree in elementary education, have been around kids and public schools my entire life, have three kids of my own, and, yet, being tasked with answering this question ..read more

                                            Oh, morning time. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.  ? I recently shared what a typical day in our homeschool looks like, and when I sat down to write this post, I had planned on sharing the details of what our morning time actually looks like, but I realized that first and foremost I just wanted to talk about this idea in general just in case it's a new idea for anyone. It really is that important to me and has been such a g ..read more

A "Typical" Homeschool Day

In my last post I addressed some of the three most common homeschooling fears. The next thing that usually comes up in the conversation is, "So, what does it actually look like?"  It's a simple question, really, but it can get sticky. There are all kinds of educational philosophies and opinions out there. Every family is different and that's the beauty of homeschooling. You can do it however you want!  I'm a little hesitant to share about our days, but I always love when other moms share about theirs because it's so helpful. So maybe you can find something helpful and if nothing e ..read more

I've found myself having several unexpected conversations with people lately about homeschooling. It's that time of year when the school year is winding down and we start to think about next school year. There are lots of reasons why people may think about homeschooling, but regardless, I've found myself saying the same things during these conversations, so I thought I would just write a post about it in case you or someone you know may be thinking about it (or maybe just curious!) The parents I have talked to are genuinely feeling the pull to keep their kids home, are very curious and de ..read more

Happy Friday!  I wanted to pop in and share about what we did for World Braille Day this week! (I'm also just super excited to have the dust off of this ol' blog and I'll take any excuse to post something! Obviously I haven't used this platform since becoming a homeschool mom! The last posts were from 2017, I think. I have some updating to do!) World Braille Day is celebrated every year on January 4 to celebrate the birthday of the man who invented Braille as we know it, Louis Braille.  We read the picture book Six Dots by Jen Bryant and it was excellent! This fictional r ..read more

So, I recently discovered how to get back to this ol' Blogger site of mine when I had seriously thought it no longer existed!  I'm trying out a sample post to see if it really is still here! If it is, my heart will be so, so, so excited!  I love this platform and blogging and I would love to get back to doing more of it. I tried making a site on another blogging platform but I just don't love it and it isn't quite as user-friendly.  Hopefully this works!!!  If you can read this post, would you do me a favor and post a comment just so I know it is actually published? I w ..read more
