Prepping Our Home for a New School Year

categories: homemaking, homeschool

Today I am sharing 6 tips on how I prep our home for the new school year. I’d love to hear your ideas too, so leave a comment.

Homemaking Schedule

I have had a homemaking schedule for years. With the ebbs and flows of life, I still find myself coming back to it. Prepping our home for a new school year definitely feels welcoming after the chaos of gardening, fishing days, bike rides and all the summer fun that leaves the homemaking a little to the wayside. I have a whole series here on the blog about my different days of homemaking (kitchen day, office day, laundry day, cleaning day, and errand day). This helps me keep up on our home and keeps the daily focus to one “task.”

categories: homeschool

We are diving into another year of homeschooling and although we fully chose to homeschool six years ago, I realize that many are making that hard choice this 2020 school year due to COVID-19. Mom’s have reached out to me a little overwhelmed at this last minute decision and wondering not only how to get started, but no idea what homeschooling looks like. I’m sharing these 10 Tips of Encouragement to give you confidence and excitement as you start your homeschool year! Please feel free to add to this conversation with questions or other encouragement in the comment section or you can always email me findingfaithsfuture (@) gmail (dot) com or follow along on Instagram.

Homeschool Charlotte Mason Education

categories: homeschool

I had quite a few questions at the end of last school year on how we homeschool, what curriculum we use, how do I keep little ones busy, etc. You can read up on last year in this post but I have to say the beauty with homeschooling is being able to change directions when things don’t quite feel right. Towards the end of the last year I started doing research, not on curriculum, but on the different ways and philosophies and approaches to homeschooling (unschooling, child led, traditional, Charlotte Mason, unit studies, etc) trying to figure out which would be the best fit for us. I actually had come across Charlotte Mason a few years ago but trying to read her volumes was (and somewhat still is, but I’m trying!) frustrating to me so I gave up without really doing research beyond her volumes. Thankfully I looked into CM again, but I am really excited about this year!

Homeschool Review: Year 2

categories: homeschool
Our homeschool year in review: curriculum, field trips, and supplies!

This post may contain affiliated links, which means if you buy through the link I provided I may get a small commission (at no extra cost to you).

Before I jump in let me say that I am no expert and although I know quite a few homeschooling mom’s, none of our choices/curriculums/schedules are or will be the same. Every child is different even within a family, so what works for my oldest may not work for one of her siblings. Over the last 2 years I have been researching how different families ‘do’ homeschool, looking at different homeschool curriculums, what homeschool ‘looks’ like, but with all the research came one big point: no two families do it the same way and there isn’t a ‘wrong’ way. With all that said here is what we’ve done homeschooling year 2 wrap up. (more…)

Let’s play catch up!

categories: DIY projects, homeschool

Well, hello…. again.

I swear I’m committing to blogging. I kind of need this, for me. Back in the day I use to scrapbook and journal but the kids have taken over my life 🙂 But I’m in such a rich season of life that I don’t want to forget it all.

I also have a lot of people messaging me about hubby and I’s diy projects, that I thought a blog would be a great place to reference and look back on. …

If you don’t follow me on Instagram, you should 🙂 I post lots of our projects, life bits and such. Click HERE for my Instagram or search findingfaithsfuture.

Life:

*We started our 2nd year of homeschooling! We are 3 weeks in and really loving it. I feel more organized thanks to hubby’s great idea of building a table for us..  honestly it wasn’t suppose to be so LARGE but, go big, right? I have tons of pictures of the kids sitting, leaning and playing on it. BEST.IDEA.EVER.

* Baby #4 is on the way! I’ve had a rough first trimester and but thankful most of my symptoms are gone!. Coming in Febraury <3

*Lots of house projects still are happening.. Currently trying to get the interior doors sanded, primed, and painted {dark grey}. Post to come on the details and how to! 

Business:

      

                 If you don’t know I have an etsy shop!! I do watercolor art & quotes, phone cases (with my art) , and coming soon: woodburning projects! … Gosh, I love it ALL. It’s a good creative outlet for ME. You can check out my etsy shop HERE, FB page HERE, and I always post sneak peeks on IG too!          

I’m excited to get this blog up and running! I’m even working to get a blog design done. #incentive

Talk to you soon!
