Healthier Homeschooler Blog

I'm starting a new series with my tried and true recipes that are fast and easy.Marinated Steak

So where have we been these last few months? I'm going to share with you a much needed update: we got a puppy! Daisy Duke joined our family December 21 of last year!

What? Essential oils and homeschooling? Why? For focus, immune support, calming, and so much more!

Here is an idea of what Keegan does in a week for those who are new to homeschooling, I’ve listed what we did today (a Tuesday) and what I plan for us for the rest of the week.  

I’m sitting here in my car waiting for my son, Brady, to finish his baseball practice on a rainy Saturday morning. Because I couldn’t leave thinking the practice might end early, I decided I would meal plan in the car. 

If you're a new homeschooler, I can only imagine the confusion you must have choosing what to do with your kids.  The younger they are, the less structured you can be.

This summer has been cruising on by.  Like every summer, I have great intensions to make sure my kids don't "forget" anything over the summer so we read and do math and do projects and limit screens.  Yeah right.  LOL.

Confession: I had created this blog post months ago, but I wasn't in a "cleaning mood".  I am now because we have cleaners coming today to do a deep cleaning in a "cleaning mood" as much as I ever will be! So I have been decluttering (and some purging) the last few weeks.

We never have taken an official "Spring Break" because I have felt as homeschoolers we take breaks when we need them...

It's important to plan.  I may not always follow my plan, but I need to have one.  If I don't plan out my week on Friday afternoon after we've finished up for the week (and sometimes I'm too pooped to do so!), then I must plan Sunday afternoon or evening.
