August 12, 2015 by Jen 16 Comments

Striking a Balance Between Homeschool and Public School

Making the choice to homeschool was not one we made lightly. Plenty of thought and prayer went into our initial decision many years ago, as does plenty of thought and prayer upon each new year. So, what happens when you have a child that isn’t happy homeschooling and wants to make a change? Good question, […]

How I Use the Erin Condren Teacher Planner for Homeschool

(contains affiliate links) I have been using my Erin Condren Life Planner since I purchased it back in December. It’s true, I have used the same planner for this entire year! That is big news for me. Normally I purchase a planner, use it for a little bit and then just stop using it until […]

Homeschooling High School, Middle School and Elementary

(contains affiliate links) I feel like I’ve simplified our homeschooling curriculum so much this year. However, after writing out all of the resources we hope to use – it doesn’t seem very simplified!

Are You a Homeschool Snob?

Are You a Homeschool Snob?

I’ll admit it. I AM a homeschool snob. Not in the sense that I believe that homeschooling is the only way for everyone. No, I don’t believe that. I guess I should say I’m more of a snob about the flexibility that homeschooling allows. A few years ago, before we moved to Florida, we went […]

5 Reasons We Use Nancy Larson Science

“Are we going to do science today?” That’s a routine question at breakfast around here. Are you using a science program that you love?

Homeschool Summer School Plans

(contains affiliate links) I’m not doing it this year. I’m not creating a bunch of grand plans for our homeschool summer school, only to ditch them the first week of June!

Pros and Cons of a Homeschool Co-op

May 17, 2015 by Jen 17 Comments

Pros and Cons of a Homeschool Co-op

Co-ops can be a wonderful opportunity to enrich your homeschool, or they can be a needless distraction from the task at hand, HOMEschooling. I think it really depends on your family and your season of homeschooling. Sometimes a co-op can be more of a benefit for mom than the children, a bit of a break […]
