Think unschooling is another term for not schooling? I had that same notion until one day, unschooling happened for us.

Having a preschooler in the home while homeschooling older children can be difficult. While my three year old is a huge blessing to us, his attention span is not very long. During our “school time” I try to keep him occupied by putting on an educational show or I turn on his Kindle to an educational app. This doesn’t always work for very long. I have had to get creative with him by including him in our school work.

I remember my very first year of homeschooling. I was so nervous, yet excited to start this new venture. In September and October, the weather was gorgeous and I took advantage of my kids being home to explore the outdoors. In fact, we spent a lot of time outside.

Can I just take the liberty of addressing ALL the moms out there?  After all, we are moms first and teachers second. Days can be hard, life has troubles.  None of us, no NONE of us, have it easy.  Just because you may not see it does not mean that others are not dealing with “stuff.” We all have STUFF! So here is my simple encouragement to you.
