Homeschool Diva

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. As a homeschooling mom with three young children who has a home based business I have had a hard time fitting everything in.  It wasn’t until recently, that I finally took the plung and realized that nothing was going to change unless I did something different.  

So I did it.  I set the alarm and starting waking up at 5am.  It is revolutionary what it has done in my life.  Less stress, more space, more time for me. True, I have had to sacrifice sleep, but I have found I don’t really miss it.  It has been so life giving that I actually wrote an article on Tips to Getting Up Early so that I could really own my process.  I hope you find it helpful.

So I salvaged my hard week last week on Friday by making sure we had “Something to do, something to think about and something to love”! 

I actually took “the show” on the road and went to our favorite park located adjacent to a marine rescue center.  We did some of our lessons in a favorite forest that shaded us from the heat!

Doing narration from high up in a tree always makes it more exciting.  We read Travel and imagined we were hunting for our own “deserted city”.  Mommy had fun too!

By the end of the day the children were back on track, happy and cooperative.  I think we all had cabin fever.  Outdoor time is so important and not just in your front yard but new places as well.
