Homeschooling’s Role in Teaching Practical Life Skills

  Homeschoolers learn all the academic basics. We start with our reading, writing, and arithmetic and go on to social studies, science, and so on. But there’s more to homeschooling than academics. Home education presents an opportunity to learn many practical life skills as well. If you’re homeschooling, or at least thinking about it, here

Hey Mama Monday: Mama, What Quiet Time?

  Right now, it is very loud at my house! The kids here are playing a game together with our kids from California that have come for a visit. Though it is loud, I wouldn’t have it any other way. But there are times I long for quiet. I mean really crave it. It is

Continuing Education for Homeschool Moms

  In many professions from engineering to nursing, continuing education is a requirement to keep your license. I love to grow and learn in my homeschooling career, too. These are some ways I have continued my education as a homeschool mom.   Quiet Times Yes, I’m a busy mom, but not too busy to spend

Homeschooling Mom, Take the Time to Fill Your Cup

  Picture this: it is mid-morning on a Friday, your children are still sleeping, and your husband is on the sofa nonchalantly reading his favorite book. You have had an exhausting week of homeschooling, managing your home, and balancing all of the things that you, as a mom of many rambunctious children, must balance. You

Six Yellow Cats

  As I was thinking of a topic for an online lesson, I came across a Spanish video I had made called “Seis Gatos Amarillos” (Six Yellow Cats). I couldn’t believe when I read that that I made the video twelve years ago. I know that a lot of people are interested in foreign languages,

What About When You Feel Like A Failure?

  What’s a Mama to do when you feel like a failure? I have a funny feeling that this resonates with way too many of us. I’ve been struggling lately with it, and I have to say, it’s NOT fun! You probably know those feelings all too well also: the depression, the exhaustion, the complete

All or Nothing?

  Most of us could be qualified as “All or Nothing” homeschoolers. We ride hard in whatever lane we’ve assigned ourselves and worry constantly about not living up to standard we have set for ourselves. Most of us could also assign ourselves a few other labels, as well. For example, I am the queen of

Hey Mama Monday: Mama, Let’s Eliminate Burnout

  Whether you call it a mental health day, a break for scheduling, or a teacher professional development day … we all need a break every now and then. Don’t feel guilty about this. Every professional educator has breaks like these scheduled; in-home educators need the same. There are many benefits of taking a break
