Hello all!
I have a had several questions about all year homeschooling and I thought it best to wrap it into a post.
We started our homeschooling journey as a very traditional homeschooling family. I got little desks, we used texts, and we went from the public school’s first day through the end of the public [...]

All year homeschooling
Homeschooling is not school at home!
Now don’t throw stones dear friends who are more traditional. Hear me out.
When you reach that point you realise you are going to homeschool. Many of us tried (myself included) to reproduce the school atmosphere and teaching methods at home. There really is no need or value in doing that.

Ending this year and thinking about next already!
It’s that time again. To open the file drawer of material. I have spent all year filing away learning material to make the portfolio for our end of the year evaluation. This year I have 3 kids that need the formal eval. Sometime around Valentine’s Day the drawer took a turn for the messy. [...]

When Smiley was two and a half the previously happy, but quiet child. Lost many skills. She [...]
What do I need to start homeschooling?
When deciding to homeschool whether you are talking about a special needs child or not. There are a few things that you MUST do.
First you and your husband/wife must be on the same page. Are you both willing to try homeschooling? It is not uncommon for one parent to be hesitant but willing to try [...]
The chronically tired parent
We all get tired at times. Are you tired all the time? Have you been diagnosised with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? Or do you have a chronic illness such as Multiple Scelerosis? Many chronic illnesses wear on the energy system leaving you exhausted. So how are you supposed to get homeschooling done when sitting up [...]
