Do you ever feel overwhelmed or “behind” with homeschooling? Let me know in the comments.
Some of us wear busyness as a badge. I know I have.
What if you took a look at your days and decided to simplify?
Are you in multiple co ops and a couple of sports per kiddo? Are you working on checking off each curriculum assignment? Teaching every single subject every day?
From my experience that’s just a recipe for burnout. Take a look at everything you do in a day. Is all of that really necessary? What can you cut out? What can you say no to? Maybe there is something you both dread but it has to be done. Really? If that’s truly the case, then maybe it doesn’t need to be done every day.
You’ve got this. Please don't feel like you need a long 'to do' list to make homeschooling a success. Conversations, cooking, playing games, and time in nature go a long way. 💜

You're in good company. 😊
Do you ever let your kiddos choose the order of their school day?
I find that sometimes still is the best way to keep arguments at bay. I lay everything across the coffee table and he ordered them.
Some days do go smoother than others and I’m so thankful for those!
Notice I didn’t say perfect
I love meal planning and I know I make it hard on myself. What don’t I just choose 3 beef, 2-3 chicken, a fish/shrimp and have homemade bbq chicken pizza for dinners? And alternate eggs, waffles/pancakes, oatmeal and bagels for breakfast and left overs or salad/soup/sandwiches for lunches? And be done with it.
