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. PLUS tons of short & sweet learning songs... I wrote the only homeschool memory work program that is 100% set to song and homeschooling families with K-5 kiddos LOVE it!
All the things about kid chores 𧽠π§Ή
Chores, Routines, Lists & Moreβ |
A couple weeks ago, I sent a New Year's email about good intentions, routines, and getting back into the swing of schooling after the holidays. β By far the most common response was, βWait, tell me more about the morning list & having one chore..." or something along those lines. Apparently we homeschool moms love our chore routines. π β
Typically, Iβm the type of person that wants to do all the things all at once!! But Iβve found when it comes to adding new habits or routines at home, we kind of have to do one at a time or it all falls apart and we do nothing well. β If youβre looking to get your kids on board with helping more around the house, try picking 1-2 things to start with and build up over time. In a few years, you can put your feet up and eat bon-bons while your kids clean the house. JK π β Happy homeschooling! β Love, Renee |

I've been thinking a lot about how to describe daily homeschool life to newer homeschooling parents... one of the most common questions I get is: "If it doesn't look like school, what does it look like? What do you do? How do you structure it?" Anchors. Rhythms. Things that happen on a regular basis that are carefully chosen for your individual family and season of life. Things that always happen. (And by always, I mean most of the time. π) What anchors are in your days, weeks, and months?...
