Weekly Homeschool Checklists for Independent Organisation
We use homeschool checklists to organise our children’s homeschool work – it’s easy, it’s fairly independent, and it’s given them great organisational skills. Check out how to create your own homeschool checklists!
Deschooling Your Family
Deschooling can be defined as removing the influence of the formal education system from your way of thinking. Many children who have been in school will need time to adjust to their new lifestyle, and learn this new way of education. On a wider scale, nearly everyone in society has what could be termed a ‘school mindset’. As most of us went through school, and its training is pervasive, deschooling yourself is an important part of the process. Find deschooling help here.
Homeschooling Spelling: Our low-stress, child-led approach (including resources)
Homeschooling spelling is a bit like learning times tables – it involves a lot of rote learning, is incredibly boring, the real-life reasons for mastering it aren’t immediately apparent, and it is shoved on children at a too-young age. Or maybe that’s just my opinion. In my head, spelling works a bit strangely. I can […]

I have a little secret to tell you – sometimes, you will have a Bad Homeschooling Day. I know!

My kids and I created a 30-day family creative challenge when our art and craft supplies were gathering dust, and it was just what we needed. We chose a Skillshare lesson a day.

How I homeschool grammar (without knowing it myself)
Here’s a question I received recently – “I saw a photo of your son diagramming sentences – I don’t know how to do this but lots of people talk about it on homeschool groups. Where do I even START teaching something like that to my children?” Steph. Ah, that would be this photo. I’m only […]
