Environmental Wellness in Homeschool

An Introduction to Environmental Wellness in Homeschool

What exactly is environmental wellness in homeschool?  That was your first question, wasn't it?  When you think about environmental wellness, what do you think of?  Most people will likely think more about "green living" and how our environment affects our lives.  So environmental wellness in homeschool is going to be how our environment affects us in our day to day lives as we are homeschooling.  … [Read more...] about An Introduction to Environmental Wellness in Homeschool

How to Create a Peaceful Homeschool Life

How to Create a Peaceful Homeschool Life

Word of the Year

Word of the Year and Living Your Best Life

Fun Fact: I started using a word of the year to guide my goal planning way back in 2013.  I actually had to go dig through the archives to see.  That is a benefit to blogging for as long as I have!  In that post I said "can we make February 1st the new January 1st?"  Even back then I was moving slowly into the New Year.  Nothing has changed.  Here I am, still slowly working my way through goal … [Read more...] about Word of the Year and Living Your Best Life

Why is Goal Setting Important?

Why are Goals Important?

Before we can get into writing our goals, we need to ask a question.  Why are goals are important?  The reason is pretty simple, you need direction.  Without goals you don’t have direction.  Yes, you may be moving in a direction that you like, but it isn’t with purpose.  Instead you are moving through life at a whim.  That isn’t always bad.  However, I will challenge you to make a plan for your … [Read more...] about Why are Goals Important?

When I was choosing curriculum for this coming yea When I was choosing curriculum for this coming year I thought I was totally on top of things, just to realize when I was laying everything out that I totally forgot to get science for my 7th grader. 🤦🏼‍♀️

We chatted a bit about what he wanted to do, and what he decidedly DID NOT want to do, and we came up with the #scienceunlocked kits from @homesciencetools 

I am sharing an unboxing of the four kits we chose as well as my first thoughts. 
You can find the video at the link in my profile.
