homeschool curriculum – 2021
There are a ton of options when it comes to curriculum & you really need to find what works best for your family. Over the last year I read some homeschooling books, did some observing + dreaming and came to the conclusion that if I was going to label our homeschool style, it’d be a mix of […]

Homeschooling is no joke, especially when you’re homeschooling a Kindergartener + caring for two toddlers and an infant. I’m already tired just thinking about it.
