What would make a teacher opt out of the public school system and homeschool her own children?

It’s a question that I get asked a lot. And, the answer is, it wasn’t just one thing. Several factors, situations, and incidents led to that decision.

Let me tell my story and share some of the benefits I see with homeschooling my own kids.

It’s totally normal as homeschoolers to have a certain point of the year where we just can’t seem to get any traction, everything feels dull and boring, and we’re just... blah. Everyone hits a slump at some point in the year.

For many people, this slump hits between November and March, when the weather gets colder, snowier, and darker. These winter blues can be rough for homeschooling parents. But they are a great excuse to try something different.

Here are 10 things you can do to break out of a homeschool slump and beat the winter blues!

Last year, I did a video on building a homeschool schedule, but it was focused on building a weekly routine.

After lots of questions, I made this week’s video about building a daily schedule!

While every family is going to have a different homeschool schedule (because that’s the blessing of homeschooling), it can make it a little difficult to create one that works for you. So, here’s my step-by-step process for building my daily homeschool schedule that is easily customizable for any family.
