    a DAY IN THE LIFE of a homeschool mom: autumn 2022

    I’ve done a few homeschool day in the life posts and videos in the past and I thought it would be fun to start sharing seasonal day in the life posts with a peek inside a day in the life of a homeschool mom. This will be a great keepsake for me to look back on in the years to come to see how life changes as we enter different seasons, both weather seasons and seasons of life. Life can change a lot from season to season, a month ago we had five kids and now we are down to two. Life looks a lot different without having a 4…

    How Our Homeschool Looked This Morning

    Today I thought I would show you a look into what our homeschool looked like this morning. We are currently alternating between the Flight Research Unit and the Butterflies & Bees Research Unit and alternating within the Butterflies & Bees. So, one day we do Flight then the next is Butterflies, then back to Flight, then Bees, then back to Flight, etc. Today we were learning about bees, so here’s how it went . . .     We always start by looking the lesson over and then begin pulling out our books on the topic/sub topics and seeing what we can answer from the books we have. We have a great home library…

    Homeschool Day in the Life – A Peek into Our Unschooling Homeschool – January 2021

    Hey guys, I am excited to be back with an unschooling day in the life today! In the last year I’ve shared a few of these in video format (like here and here) but this day in the life is coming at you in pictures and written word. I realized, it’s as lot easier to share an unschooling day in the life this way because nothing is planned out (generally). This way I could do what I usually do: observe my kids learning what and how they like to. For the most part I just let them do their thing and snapped a photo of it. With video it’s a…

    Unschooling Day in the Life: take a look into a homeschooling day in the life

    I’ve got another homeschooling day in the life for you today! This DITL was totally impromptu, my kids have been oozing creativity lately and I wanted to capture that. I think a lot of the creativity has come from our “simple schedule”, making sure they have time to be creative each day (and kind of have to be) has really helped! We are unschoolers but both of my kids set some goals for the year so they each have a few things they want to get accomplished each day, thus we are currently unschoolers with a checklist.     Unschooling Day in the Life: take a look into a homeschooling…

    Homeschool Day in the Life: summer edition: working on projects and interest-led learning

    Here’s another day in the life of our homeschool, this one is a summer version! I’ve been liking the rhythm our summers have taken and if all goes well I plan on continuing this into the fall as well. In this day in the life we took a little nature walk and my kids followed their interests and made creative projects.       You can see past day in the life videos and posts here.
