This is a His and Hers blog, so be prepared to read a wide range of rambles…

First from Her…

As a homeschool mom Spring brings on a whole new set of challenges, how to stay motivated?! And I am not referring to the kiddos! The workbooks are only half used, but how can we keep going when the sunshine is so nice? The best solution: shake things up a bit…her are 10 quick shakers:

1. Add Monday-Fundays (most Fridays are fundays for a lot of homeschoolers, switch this to Mondays)

2. Set up an obstacle course to get energized

3. Start a new family chapter book, let go of the one you have been trying to finish and has been dragging on

4. Start watching your way through an old TV family series, we are just about ready to wrap up the first year of Little House on the Praire

5. Start schooling outside

6. Take on a unit study

7. Start planning a vacation together as a family, could be a weekend road trip for the Summer

8. Concentrate on an area of study, such as Journaling

9. Switch up your family schedule

10. Plan weekly field trips for the rest of the year

But most of all hug your little ones everyday and enjoy each other
