My weekly emails encourage homeschool moms in teaching young children at home with practical tips for real-life homeschooling. Get ideas for simple, engaging, and effective teaching strategies.

Bamboo trees & homeschooling 🌱
Do you know about Chinese Bamboo Trees? |
You must very carefully monitor their water & temperature for the first 5 years, and nothing happens. You have to water often and weed and make sure it stays at the perfect temperature… but you won’t see a single sprout. Not an ounce of visible growth. But in year 5, something crazy happens. Within 6 weeks, the tree grows 80 feet tall. Turns out, during the first 5 years, a deep, vast, root system was growing beneath the surface. You just couldn’t see it. This metaphor is probably my favorite for homeschooling, especially in the early years. When you have little ones at home, the day in and day out is not full of fruit.

Helloooo! I hope you're having a GREAT summer. Ours has been a whirlwind but so good. As I started to think about fall rhythms & schedules, I realized it was going to be a pretty busy season for us. So when my internet friend Ashley created a 3 month done for you menu plan, I decided to try it. 3 Months Meals DONE I've used her recipes in the past and they're very easy & delicious.
