How We Homeschool: From a Work at Home Mom

From a mom trying to run three online businesses from home… let’s chat about how I homeschool my kids! I want to cover why in the world I decided to homeschool.

How I’m able to do it with four kids ranging from ages 14-6, and the resources that have helped our family thrive.

HOW TO HOMESCHOOL YOUR KIDS WITH THESE TIPS

These tips may not work for everyone but they’ve been very helpful for our family!

USE A PLANNER TO MANAGE YOUR TIME

Well, the number one thing I have to do is be very disciplined with my time. You might know I am a planning junkie.

I am able to keep a clear head on all my tasks, and schedule them out in my day in a realistic manner, and I’ve truly been able to avoid overwhelm!

I’VE HIRED HELP TO GIVE ME MORE TIME

I have hired cleaners twice a month, which has been huge for my anxiety. When mess looms—as it does with four kids—I can look at it and know it will be taken care of, and I won’t need to find 4-5 hours for it myself.

As far as my businesses are concerned, there are several ways that I’ve hired help: 1. A tech expert that fixes glitches on my website and improves the user experience 2. A graphic designer because I need graphics for social media and the planners

I’VE HIRED A TUTOR TO HELP TEACH MY KIDS

Perhaps the best decision I made was to hire a tutor for the kids. I found the sweetest, wonderful young woman who is going to college for her Elementary Education degree.

She comes in two hours a day to help my kids all through math and language arts. I then have those dedicated hours to work hard, but best of all is how much my kids adore her!
