I think as a home educating mom I’ve spent so many hours planning over the last twenty years that I’ve lost count! Planning seems to never end. Just when I have the new year planned a child’s needs change and I am in sudden need of new ideas and plans to help them. Planning involves constantly changing and adapting to the lives of my children. I’ve been so grateful to the Homeschool Review Crew. Being a part of the team has meant receiving the perfect product at the perfect time just when we’ve needed it to help my son. There are many many different aspects of home education the involves planning and today a few of the Crew would like to share some of their journeys in planning with you. We would invite you to grab a cup of your favorite beverage, find a quiet spot and let us come alongside you and bring some encouragement and insights from our experience over the years.

- 5 Tips for Home Management When Homeschooling w/ Free Weekly Chore Printable – My house is a home. It’s not spotless, but it’s tidy and comfortable. I keep the necessities taken care of. I cook all the meals for the week except for one or two.

I am a messy housekeeper by some standards (like my mother’s, LOL!), but I still like things tidy and contained whenever possible. Let me share how I have found a way to make peace with my own weaknesses in my effort to manage my home.

I have picked four things I have learned about homeschooling–one for each year we have under our belt. These four things have shaped the direction I go with homeschooling today–and I’m sure in the future!
