Season 8: Organize Homeschool Stuff Iāve created a few iterations of a chore board over the last year and a half. First it was a poster board frame, and I wrote directly on the hard plastic frame. That worked well, because I could tuck it away quickly and easily when I didnāt want our schedule, consequences, and school assignments on display. Then, my 3-year-old used it as a slide (which means he was climbing up it). The frame and plastic ā¦ Read More

Season 8: Organize Homeschool Stuff Keeping track of what each student is supposed to be doing, and making sure they are doing it is one of the struggles of homeschooling moms everywhere. Hereās how weāre managing it with a free online (and mobile) app called Trello. Some people use spiral notebooks for a daily list; we use Trello for weekly lists. Here are the details and even some video tutorials to get you started! Giving the kids a checklist of ā¦ Read More

Season 8: Grocery Shopping Tips Many factors go into the decision about how often you should grocery shop. But it will simplify life and greatly decrease the mental energy and stress involved if it is a decision rather than a haphazard, āAck, we need milk today!ā affair. There are three most common options: shopping weekly, every other week, and monthly. As always, there are advantages and disadvantages to each. Many families are likely to choose some combination of these strategies. ā¦ Read More

Season 8: Organize Homeschool Stuff You know I love lists. And I also love books. So what could be better than a list of books? How about a list of my books? I wonāt try to convince you that you need to catalog your books, because you probably donāt. But having a catalog of the books on my own shelves is something inherently appealing to me, and it might be to you, too. Read the original post: How I catalogued ā¦ Read More

Season 8: Grocery Shopping I know it seems overwhelming. I know even just planning dinner sometimes seems overwhelming. But, seriously, who wants to wake up and decide in the pre-coffee fog what to feed the troops for breakfast? It has to be decided ahead of time.

Season 8: Organize Homeschool Stuff We homeschool without a schoolroom. Like many homeschoolers, the kitchen table is where much of our work happens. We use our kitchen table, we use our dining room table, we use our couch, and we make due with the space we have. I could write up a great-sounding post about why we donāt have a school room on principle. Something about school blending in with real life and not being contained in a separate box. ā¦ Read More

Season 8: Grocery Shopping I think taking the kids with me on my grocery excursions is a valuable thing to do. However, that doesnāt mean it isnāt exhausting. But, my kids are homeschooled, and they do need to get out just as much as I do. Plus, they are homeschooled, so they think going to the grocery store is a grand day out. Plus, I am a homeschooler, so I think it counts as a field trip and āreal life ā¦ Read More

Season 8: Organize Homeschool Stuff The real trick about having a tidy or organized house is for everything to have a home. Things without homes are clutter. Things with homes can be put away, leaving space for life to happen. Mid-day, the house might look chaotic, but by evening, if everything has a place to go, it can look decently in order again.

Season 8: Grocery Shopping How many grocery store trips feel like a random grab-bag and confused wandering? It happens to us all, but if feeding our people and keeping the shelves stocked is an important part of our service ā and it is ā then we need some better strategies for making the most of our grocery trips. We want to minimize the time they take, the brain power they require, and the mistakes and oversights we make. Here are ā¦ Read More

Season 7: Mom As Atmosphere We recite mottos during our Morning Time. I think the first place I encountered the idea was when listening to ACCS teacher training audio (back before there were CiRCE conferences or podcasts). The elementary classes of Logos School, at least back in the old days, had mottos they recited daily that then the teacher could call to mind when they were relevant. As a family, we already had a few little sayings ā ways to ā¦ Read More

Season 7: Habits We are often encouraged to set SMART goals: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound. It sounds great, and those goals do have a place. But when much of our lives is about developing people (ourselves and our children), we canāt put ourselves or others into such neat little boxes. We must treat people as people instead of as projects. So for many of our hopes for the future, weād do better to focus on our processes ā what ā¦ Read More

Season 7: Mom As Atmosphere In the first episode of The ScholĆ© Sisters Podcast we talk about how levity ā lightheartedness, humor, cheerfulness ā is a burnout prevention method. When we sink into seriousness, into get-it-all-done mode, into self-importance, weāre bound to be pulled down, lose our joy, and want to give up. To prevent burnout and also to recover from it, we need to shed our anxieties and pride ā and we do that through laughter. Laughter comes from ā¦ Read More

Season 7: Habits What does being productive even mean? Itās not simply getting more done, but getting the right things done, done well, and done cheerfully. Whether or not you want to do more in 2016, I bet you want to do what you do better ā whether that means more consistently, more joyfully, or more skillfully. Me, too. Just because I write about productivity and organization doesnāt mean I have it all together. It just means Iām always paying ā¦ Read More

Season 7: Mom As Atmosphere Youāve met her. Maybe youāve been her. Maybe you are her. Some homeschool moms might scare you. Some homeschool moms scare their children. But I think weāve all experienced another kind of scary homeschool mom: the one who scares herself. Are you scary? Who do you scare?

Season 7: Habits Rather than grandiose goals for a new year, we should be focusing on small habits that we can build upon. These new year habits continue giving, because they become automatic. So we can gain their benefit without expending much energy to do so. A habit is an acquired behavior pattern regularly followed until it has become almost involuntary.

Season 7: Mom As Atmosphere Sometimes itās weather, sometimes itās illness, sometimes itās simply fatigue. If youāve been homeschooling for awhile, youāre probably familiar with the feeling: homeschool morning blah. Itās normal; itās natural; itās bound to happen. But itās also one of a homeschool momās most insidious enemies. No, Iām not exaggerating. Unless we learn how to overcoming homeschool morning blah, we will not have consistency and we will not be modeling the cheerful grit we want our students ā¦ Read More

Season 7: Habits Why make my bed? It is not so much the made bed itself that is the goal, but the āeasy winā factor. By making my bed in the morning I set the tone for the day. It is a victory of willpower (because Iām pathetic and require willpower to make my bed) that doesnāt tax my willpower much (not, like, breaking a habit of eating chocolate in the evening ā for a purely theoretical example). Walking in ā¦ Read More
