Homeschooling is a beautiful journey. But let’s be honest, it can also feel like juggling flaming torches while riding a unicycle. Between teaching multiple subjects, managing meals, keeping the house in order, and finding a moment to breathe, time management quickly becomes one of the most important (and challenging!) skills for homeschool families.

You can’t use a curriculum and unschool, can you? What if your child’s natural approach to learning is more child-led, but you would like a little more support; somewhere to find great books, somewhere to find engaging activities, somewhere which has space for your child to take their learning in whichever direction their interests carry them. What do you do? 

I recently had a day when I forgot my why. It’s been nearly 12 years since I started homeschooling, and sometimes, the familiarity of our days leads me to forget why I chose to homeschool in the first place.

When I first started my homeschool research one of the biggest questions I had was “How much will it all cost?”.  Three years later, I am thrilled to share that homeschooling blew my budgeting socks right off! 

Whether you’re new to homeschool, considering homeschool or a veteran, at some point, we all ask the question, “Do I need a homeschool curriculum?”. The short answer: ‘No’, ‘Yes’, and ‘Maybe!’ Read on!

I didn’t ever think I would homeschool my children. It was completely off my radar, and something I knew nothing about. So why did I start?

Do you ever get to the end of the year and think, ‘Have I done enough homeschooling this year? Have my children learned anything at all?’ Or maybe, like me, you get to the end of the week and ask the same questions! This panic is not reserved for those new to homeschooling, but for many long-term homeschoolers as well.
