Hip Homeschool Moms. A Vibrant Community for Homeschooling Families.
If you’re anything like me – a working homeschool mom – I’m sure educating your children became a huge commitment the moment that you took that first leap of faith and entered into the somewhat intimidating world of home education. I can guarantee that all of us have totally turned our worlds upside down to make…
Dear Working Homeschool Mom (and Dad), You’ve made it to the new year! Can you believe it’s 2015? And guess what…It’s the year Marty McFly travels to the future! Apparently we have a lot of catching up to do if we are to fulfill what Marty saw. Please tell me I’m not the only Back to…
While there are a good number of working homeschool moms (and dads) who do everything alone {{hugs}}, there are also a good portion of us who can only function because of the assistance we get from others. Mixing work with homeschool can get a bit hairy and chaotic. But, with help, things can be GOOD! Do…
Typically, posts (the few that are out there) written with working homeschool moms in mind, focus on one main theme. That theme is associated with schedules. We want to know how to make it all work, don’t we? You live life straddling the working side and the mommy-teacher side. You make it work and so does your…
You work. You homeschool. You are a mom. You are a wife… or maybe not. You Live. You Sleep. You eat. You worship. And hopefully you have some fun. But what does this balance look like in REAL life? What are some working homeschool moms schedules? In my first post in the Working Homeschool Mom…
Homeschooling while running a home business will look different for everyone, depending on the type of business, goals, homeschool style, and family situation. It’s possible to run a thriving business AND a thriving homeschooling family, but it takes planning, hard work, and vision. Do you work and homeschool? Check out our working homeschool moms resource…
Self Doubt. It’s something that sneaks into our thoughts, dreams, and lives at an unbelievable rate. I’m pretty sure we all know it can take us by complete surprise. It tends to make a lasting impression, ruining our intentions and maybe even our futures. When it comes to being a working homeschool mom, self-doubt can…
Last month I began talking about what it means to be healthy. I specifically focused on working homeschool moms, however any busy homeschooler will definitely benefit from these posts. My goal with this series is to open our minds to the possibility that we may be running ourselves into the ground as homeschoolers–especially if we work…
These last several months while writing the Working Homeschool Moms Series, I have noticed a trend with every post…well more specifically, with the comments section. Maybe you’ve noticed too. There are actually quite a few of us! Are you surprised to see so many other moms living the homeschool life while working, just like you? I…
To my fellow homeschooling people – especially you, the working homeschool mom (or dad) – how is your curriculum treating you? Have you hit spring fever yet and begun your yearly search for that “perfect” program? I know I get all crazy (borderline psychotic), combing through curriculum catalogs, scouring reviews, and digging into every corner…
When I started homeschool this last year, I knew it would be tough – real tough. I knew there would be challenges, especially as a working homeschool mom. As I entered into this new lifestyle I questioned if it was truly possible to do this. How would it REALLY work? Some complications and stressful times…
How would you describe the relationship you have with your spouse? Is it a healthy marriage? Or is it beyond strained because of the busyness of your life as a homeschooling mom?
