I’ll be starting on the homeschool adventure this Fall. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing all this information with me. Learning from those who’ve gone before me makes the process much less daunting!

This is so true! Learning at home doesn’t take anywhere near as long as learning in a school setting. And you’re right – our goal should be to work ourselves out of a job. People always ask me if homeschooling is getting harder now that my boys are older and I say, “No, it’s actually getting easier… for me, anyway.”

Amazing write up Sarah! When we first started homeschooling we did too much and days were long and challenging. Now we run a smoother schedule with time frames about where you are. I have three in school, 1 early elementary and 2 middle school. Two of the kids have school related extra-curricular activities that sometimes made our days run longer simply bc of the times they are at. I do aim to have the youngest work in the morning, touching base with the older kids when I can. And the afternoon is fir helping the older two. And if they run too long I will tell them to take a break. Learning can always happen later.

What an informative post, Sara! This is truly eye-opening, especially for those who aren’t familiar with a homeschooling schedule at all (like me). I used to think that it takes all day, but you’re right there’s more that goes into it as well. Because homeschooling isn’t restricted within the confines of a classroom, learning happens while running errands or taking a trip to the park! And what a wonderful environment to learn in. Thanks so much for sharing this on #SHINEbloghop this week!
