Homeschooling: What to Buy, What not to Buy
It’s back to school time! That means it is also back to school shopping time. If you’re a new homeschooling mom, you might be wondering, “What do I really need to homeschool successfully, and what can I save money on and not buy?”

How to transition from public school to homeschool
Distance learning. Hybrid schedule. Homeschooling. This is an unprecedented time as parents are faced with making some tough decisions about their kids’ education. No matter your choice, I’m here to help you transition from a regular public schooling structure to a homeschool structure.
Before I get started, there is ONE thing you NEED to know. Whatever form of schooling you decide on for your kids this year, be confident in your choice. Don’t feel like you need to do what everyone else is doing. Don’t second guess your choice when you see what other people are doing. Do what’s right for your family.
