I’ve been a mother now for almost 14 years, and a homeschooling mama for at least 8 of those. When my oldest was just a toddler, I decided to be very intentional about the way I talk to my children. My own parents always spoke to me in a respectful, kind way. Sure, they got …
This past school year, I’ve spent more time than ever reflecting on those early years of being a homeschooling mom. I loved those years, and think about them with such warm memories. Read-alouds snuggled on the couch, nap time every afternoon, take the day off for the park…bliss! As we move into these harder (to …
Finally Friends! The Homeschool Attendance Record 2018-2019 is here! For the past several years, I’ve used this simple attendance record to keep track of our homeschool days. Because I need lots and lots of simple in my life, it conveniently prints on one piece of paper. Yes, only one piece of paper to keep up …
Each week, I receive many emails asking about particular parts of our homeschool: how our day runs, when I find time to cook, how to keep the littles busy during school time, and many more. I thought it would be fun to occasionally write a post answering those questions. If you missed the first Q&A …
I’m so excited to share with you the second video of my current You Tube season! I actually posted it to You Tube earlier this week, but I’m just now finding time to write a post about it here at Mama’s Learning Corner. How do I know what to teach my child in our homeschool? …
Friends, I am SO excited to post a new You Tube video! I completely missed my You Tube season last year due to all-day morning sickness, and I’m beyond thrilled to have this new video to share with you. This week, I’m giving you an update on the goings on with Mama’s Learning Corner and …
We celebrated our first day of school for the 2017-2018 school year last week! It is very hard for me to believe that we are entering our 8th year of homeschooling. For the past few years, I’ve felt a bit burnt out with starting a new homeschool year, but I’m relieved that this isn’t the …
If you’re a regular reader here at Mama’s Learning Corner (thank you if you are!), you know that we added a sweet new one to our family in February. My little man is nothing but sheer delight and we are so blessed to have him! The last time I homeschooled with a newborn, we were …
Several years ago, I brainstormed an easy way to keep track of our homeschool attendance. I figured out quickly that the fewer number of pages I have to keep up with, the better! In North Carolina, we have very few homeschool requirements, with attendance being one of those. Because I thrive on simple, I needed …
During the week between Christmas and New Year’s, I take the time to review our previous homeschool semester. I think reflection is valuable use of my time, so I can determine what to repeat and what to eliminate. I always take some time to reflect before I prepare our homeschool for the next semester. Throughout …
I originally published this post in June of 2012, which was almost 3 years into our homeschool life. Even though our opinions and preferences change over time, this train of thought has been a mainstay for me as a homeschooling mom. In fact, I’m now convinced more than ever that homeschooling without a boxed curriculum …
