It’s been 12yrs, but I’ve finally been reunited with my hot tub! She needs a good scrubbing inside before we can fill her up, but we’re so close! I can’t wait!

What worked, and didn’t work for our first week back to school as homeschoolers! How is your year going so far? What’s working and what needs some adjusting?? Let me know in the comments!

It’s that time of year - you’re about to be flooded with school supply hauls. I’m just reminding you that homeschooling doesn’t need most of what you’re about to see! In fact, if your kids are school aged, you’ve probably already accumulated most of what you need! #homeschool #homeschooling

This is really helpful, thank you!! I’m still in the thick of being super hands on, but you’re right, we will be working towards significantly more self-sufficient work at that age!!!

I am fully able to give them the education and attention they need. Just because it’s going to be different than what we do now doesn’t mean I can’t rise to the new challenge and change to suit them. We are also part of a charter and a co-op. We have tons of support and my kids are thriving.

I’m so sorry you had that experience! I’m proud of you for stepping outside of that box and finding a different way, I know that can be incredibly difficult

Yay! Followed you back!!

Is anyone else homeschooling kids with a large age gap? What does that look like for you! We do a lot of family style learning, and I’m realizing that’s going to have to start shifting here, in the next few years - do you have any advice for future me?

A homeschool mom does something for herself! I know, I know, it’s a wild concept. As a stay at home, homeschooling mom, it can be hard to find time for yourself, but it’s so important to prioritize it!

Hey - if you’re reading this, I love you. Mean it. Have a good day, and if you can’t have a good one, just know that today will eventually end and leave you with the possibility of better ones ahead 💙

Five things I don’t care about as a homeschool parent - what about you? Where do you stand on these topics? What are things you don’t care about as a homeschool parent?

Let the warning ring out once more: Tyranny is at our door

Literally just obsessed with these small creatures that live in my house and perpetually smell like warm laundry and fresh air. #crazycatlady #cats #tuxedocat #orangecat

Welcome to The Little Red Schoolhouse! I am so glad you’re here. I’m excited to connect with new and old followers alike, on a new platform!

It’s impressive how quickly I forget about text based social media. Aaaanyways I’m on @skylight.social now, with the same handle. So find me there for videos, which I am significantly more consistent with!!

The magic of waking up to snow ❤️

Oh and that Target sack is OLD, RIP to my favorite store 😭

Stellar is very happy to help unpack the homeschool closet

I couldn’t agree more!!

1. Car battery in Subaru is dead, ok, use BMW
2. Groceries get returned before delivery because driver discovers jar of olives leaked everywhere, ok, reorder
3. Second delivery has 5 things now out of stock
4. Kid falls (is ok)
5. Back window falls out of BMW, unprompted
WTF Monday?? Time for bed…

When the human child has the audacity to get into YOUR mom’s bed (anyone else have a one-human animal? Beans says “no thank you” to everyone but me)

Yes! Coffee is essential - we are trying to do 1000hrs outside this year - off to a slow start, but we need to reconnect with nature big time to get through this!

It’s been over a year since we lost the Original Butter Cat, and I still miss hearing that sweet little Bengal flop down the stairs every morning for toast, but Stellar has done a really good job of stepping in and taking over Butter Cat duties. I appreciate that I am never alone for breakfast 😻

Oh my gosh! This is adorable!!! (Also hello fellow Andrea!)

For real!!!

You’d think having 2 winter babies would help save on clothing costs, but that doesn’t work when your 3rd is the biggest of all of your babies, and her sister was a preemie. We’re solidly in 3-6mo now, which big sis wasn’t in until the peak of the summer heat. Off to purchase long-sleeves I guess!

Absolutely!

It would be funny if it weren’t so terrifying. I don’t watch SNL anymore because you can’t make fun of something that’s already a joke.
