Homeschooling.

It's on the rise, all thanks to COVID. While some families have been left no other choice, other families are exploring the flexibility, choices, and quality of options for their child's education.

Obviously homeschooling isn't a new idea; however, it is becoming more main stream. Which is great because there are a lot more resources and communities who are embracing homeschool families. Now is the best time to delve into the world of homeschooling... but how?

I'm sure that is one of many questions, naturally. We are going to throw it all out on the table today as I share our personal experience with homeschooling for the last 2 years. Mind you, neither my husband and I were homeschooled and we didn't start fresh; we started with our 14 year old daughter who was entering the 8th grade (YIKES!)

Suffice it to say, it was a successful year and we are happily going at it again, having mixed up the curriculum a bit (one of the perks of homeschooling) and continue to be satisfied with our decision to homeschool for the 2nd year. Our 15 year old daughter who is now a freshman has also actually embraced it.

It's not as hard as you think, the steps are in place, and it's actually fun picking and choosing and tailoring an education for child based on their interests, learning styles, and values. We will for sure be doing the same for our son who is 3 and is also enjoying his "schooling" 

Tune in for all the deets ;)
