Hip Homeschool Moms. A Vibrant Community for Homeschooling Families.
Is it possible to successfully homeschool your children while working (either from home or outside of the home)? More and more homeschooling moms are working. It can be done! In the past, moms who had to work (or who chose to work) knew they couldn’t homeschool their children. But it’s not that way any more….
“I thought my daughter was never going to understand math!” my friend said. Math just didn’t make sense to her daughter at all. When she’d been about 8 years old, she’d finally started to understand the simplest math concepts. As the years went by and she became a tween and then a teen, she never…
I’ve decided that working while being the homeschool teacher has MANY perks. Other than the late night shift interruption here and there (which is super exhausting), this whole working homeschool mom thing is actually WORKING! And there are so many things I will never have to deal with again. Never, ever, ever, ever! Perks of…

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.

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…
Many people believe that working moms and homeschool don’t mix. I’m here to tell you this is totally not true! You CAN work AND homeschool your children. You can also do it without ruining your children or going insane! Don’t limit yourself because you don’t fit the typical image of a homeschool set-up. What is…
I am not a huge fan of New Year’s resolutions. I’m not sure I’ve ever kept one. In fact, I pretty much stopped making them years ago.
