Back to the old Home Ed routine….

September 12, 2023

September, and we are ready to be back to our ‘usual’ home ed routines after the summer! It’s 17 years since I made the decision to home educate – and back then I probably wouldn’t think I would still be here 17 years later – with 3 more kiddos than I had then! Life is...

Not Back to School

It’s September, and we’re celebrating another year of ‘Not Back to School’. We’ve gotten back into our homeschool rhythm this week, it actually felt good to get back to some kind of routine after a fun and hectic summer.

A little homeschooling update

June 27, 2018

It feels like forever since I’ve written a homeschooling post on here, in fact, searching back, the last time I wrote an actual update was back in January – yikes! LIfe has been pretty full on for the first half of this year, as busy as you’d imagine with four kids at home 24/7 plus...
