Math for the Holidays

There are so many fun ways to hone your math skills through fun games and the holidays are a perfect time to encourage this playful learning. […]

Homeschool Help for Fidgety, Sensory Kids

This post contains affiliate links. An advantage of homeschooling is that our littles are free to move around. Integrating movement has been important for all of our kids and we’ve found many ways to meet their sensory needs and school at the same time. It took a while to break away from what we thought […]

Why I’m Sticking With Florida Virtual School Flex this Spring

When we decided to add in some classes from Florida Virtual School’s Flex Program (FLVS Flex) I wasn’t sure what to expect. We have been homeschooling for a few years, but 2020 changed everything and we needed a new plan. I turned to FLVS Flex to fill in some of the gaps. In the process […]

The goal of Active Kids 2.0 is to bring physical education into your home. My family is currently trying out Active Kids 2.0. I can’t wait […]

Structuring Summer

I typically wouldn’t worry much about structuring our homeschool over the summer. This year though, with travel and outing restrictions, I needed a new plan. Typically, we move to what I like to think of as “schooling light.” We continue with some math, learning a new concept or two, but largely rely on the boys’ […]

Homeschooling in the Garden

One of the advantages of homeschooling is the ability to get outside and do some hands-on learning. I love to be in the garden. I literally have no idea what I’m doing out there, but the garden is incredibly forgiving. It is also a wonderful place for hands-on learning about life. I’m going to lead […]
