We are a family full of adventurers. While I am mo We are a family full of adventurers. While I am more content than most to stay home for long periods of time (introvert 🙋), my soul starts to cry out when I go too long without a dose of nature. . Every weekend without fail, my husband has a new little day trip picked out. We pack a picnic, stay relatively close to home, and find a deserted nature trail to hike. . We missed celebrating my in-laws' 50th anniversary last month with the whole extended family. We haven't seen any family members since the middle of June, when we all sat in a big circle outside and didn't touch. Next month, we were supposed to vacation west...but all of that is being postponed. . We know how fortunate we are to be home and safe. We know many others have it much worse than us. But still, it's okay to grieve what we are missing. I don't think I'll ever take traveling for granted again. ♥️
I posted a few "back to {home}school" tips over on I posted a few "back to {home}school" tips over on our FB page last week, and it sort of went viral. 😉 . One of the tips I'd like to emphasize is that you don't have to create a classroom for your home! . In our 8 years of homeschooling, we have tried quite a few configurations around the house, but we are extremely flexible. . We have desks upstairs, a table in the living room, a table in the dining room, a desk in my room, and personal-size whiteboards for when we feel like doing school on the couch. You can also do school outside! . Personally, I like having the freedom to move around the house. I like being able to sit all together at the table or sending one kiddo to her desk in the adjacent room when she needs to concentrate. . Can you buy a bunch of "back to school" posters and pledge allegiance to the flag every morning. Sure! . Do you have to? Nope! Your homeschool doesn't have to look like anyone else's!
