I want to start this post by saying that the topic of ‘scheduling’ is hotly debated in the homeschooling world. Some of us want to model our home education after a public school. Others loathe that method and run far away. I want to share why we have a strict homeschooling schedule in this season…

Let’s be honest, ladies. Many days, I’m mean. I know this problem is not exclusive to homeschooling moms, but we are a unique group. Why does homeschooling turn us mean? The first step is to acknowledge that we have a really, really difficult job. Homeschooling often means no breaks and small children mixed with older…
I just gave birth to my fifth child about 5 weeks ago. With each pregnancy, I tend to gain a little more weight. I eat healthy and stay active, but my body just does it. As my 6 week check-up draws near, I know I’ll be cleared for exercise. I also still fit comfortabley into…
We just had baby #5. We have 4 awesome sons and now we have a little daughter too. Of course, after 4 little boys, I have nothing pink. I also don’t have many ‘good’ baby things left at all. I re-used all gear, bouncers, high chairs, for each of my boys, and man-oh-man was it…

Successful homeschooling when you have little ones is highly dependent upon organization, time management, and knowing how to keep the little ones occupied so that you can accomplish homeschooling the older children….
I am so excited to have found Heidi Songs to incorporate into my homeschool! It is a guilt free way to allow your kids to watch TV while you work with older children! Liz, the mom of 4 young boys, uses Heidi Songs with her 2nd grader down to her 17-month-old. Heidi Songs offers DVDs and…
I have 4 young boys and a baby girl on the way. My husband works hard for our family, and we have a very average income. We love homeschooling and giving our children experiences every day that will prepare them for life, and we enjoy the little moments as a family as often as we…
Liz was loving her job as a public school teacher, and she dreamed of the day when she would bring her own child to school with her. Surely he would love school as much as she did! Only he didn’t. After a few years of dealing with this issue, Liz’s husband finally convinced her to…
I’ve been a stay at home mom for 6 years. I currently have 4 little boys ages 7, 5, 3, and 1. Life is busy. The house is messy. We’re home all day and no one is anywhere near adulthood. Up until a year ago I was a screaming mama who constantly nagged and whined…
