I get lots of questions about homeschooling and I decided to bring Jared in for a Q & A video because homeschooling does not fall completely on my shoulders, it’s something we do as we live life together as a family. In the video we are tackling these: how is unschooling going? what if your husband isn’t on board with homeschooling? what is your favorite part of homeschooling? how do you make sure you are following your local curriculum? how do we manage with extra curricular activities? how to we make individual Bible reading part of kids’ day? how do we homeschool while adjusting to a new foster care placement?…
Our Favorite Picture Books – Part One
I was inspired by Julie from The Kreke Family on YouTube to do a video sharing our favorite picture books since she has been sharing videos all this month in response to the homeschool challenge I have been hosting over on Instagram. As I went through the house and grabbed our favorites I realized we really don’t own that many of our favorite picture books, so this is going to be part one and in the future, when we can have access to the library again, I will do a part two and maybe three, four and five as well! I have done tons of picture book lists on the…

Homeschool Week in Review – Volume 9
This week was a little different for us. We didn’t do much school work on Monday or Tuesday because I was running a bundle sale over at Intentional Bundles and was monitoring my email more than normal. On Friday the big kids went to a homeschool gym time with some friends and while they were gone our social worker called us to say she would be reuniting our foster boys with their birth family and would be picking them up in a few hours to do so. (You can read about our fostering journey on my personal site.) OUR HOMESCHOOL WEEK IN REVIEW For reference, here’s the…
Homeschool Week in Review – Volume 8
This week we had a mix of what I would call “school days” and “extra curricular days”. We had a field trip to a museum one day and went sledding with one morning with a bunch of friends. It was really a perfect balance this week where both my introvert and extrovert got a bit of what they prefer. OUR HOMESCHOOL WEEK IN REVIEW For reference, here’s the low down on all the kids: The Daughter – she’s 9 and in grade 4 The Son – he’s 6 and in grade 1 The Preschooler – he’s 3 The Toddler – he’s 2 (The preschooler and toddler came…
