Have you ever considered the possibility of unintentionally overschooling your kids? There can never be too much education, right? Well, I think we need to point out that schooling and education are two different things, and YES. It is possible to overschool your kids.

My homeschool mom prayers have been answered! Although notebooking is one of our favorite ways to learn, printing out all those pages is not exactly my favorite pastime, especially considering the horrible luck I’ve had with printers.

Homeschooling Is Neither Selfish Nor Privileged

Lately it’s been a common theme in the media to call #homeschooling, particularly homeschooling pods, selfish and privileged. I think it’s time to stop calling out the parents who are doing what’s best for their kids, and instead call out those parents who are fully capable of doing something but would rather sit back and wait for other people to solve their problems for them.

Yup. It’s once again time for me to say what many people are thinking.

Large Family Homeschool Tip: Let Your Child Teach

Although I #homeschool a bunch of kids, I know that I don’t often share things specifically geared towards #largefamily #homeschooling. That’s because since our routine has stayed largely the same for several years, I felt like I already shared all the tips I’ve used.

Until now.

As I was going through my book of video topics, I came across a note I made several years ago when my now-18-year-old daughter was teaching her siblings once a week. If you’re looking for a way to breathe life into your day, this might be just what you’re looking for.

School Is Bad for Social Skills

I was about due for another rant. 路‍♀️

We knew it was coming. Ever since the schools shut down, we homeschoolers have been waiting for the socialization, or social skills, worries to come into play. Although it’s quite interesting to see the tables turned and to see school children being accused of “losing their social skills,” it’s no less irritating. Enough is enough.

Question the Narrative | Mudfloods and Underground Tunnels??

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been noticing what looks to me like possible #mudflood evidence in my town. When I found out that there are quarry tunnels running underneath us and some of the claims made about them, I knew it was time to start questioning things.
