One of my favorite things about homeschooling? The amazing field trips! 🦐✨” Today, we visited a shrimp farm and got to see baby shrimp up close! We learned about their digestive system, the science behind their water composition, and why warm water is essential for their growth. It was such a cool hands-on learning experience—way more engaging than just reading about it in a book! I love how homeschooling allows us to explore the world and turn everyday experiences into lessons. What’s been your most memorable homeschool field trip? I’d love to hear your favorites! ⬇️🎒

When your 3-year-old is basically running the homestead... should I just retire now? I’m not sure how much longer I’ll be needed for evening chores! Not only does my little farm girl collect eggs, but now she’s locking up the big birds too-geese and turkeys included! Pretty soon, I’ll just be supervising from the porch with a cup of coffee. Who else has little farmhands taking over the chores? Tell me your funniest farm kid moments in the comments! #HomesteadLife #FarmKids #LittleFarmhand #RaisingCountryKids #FarmLifeBestLife #HomeschoolHomestead #ChoresMadeFun #FutureFarmer #CountryLiving #FarmMomLife

One of my favorite things about homeschooling? The flexibility to take a sick day without stress! My son has a stomach bug today, so school is on pause—but since we often do extra lessons on good days, we’re already ahead. No scrambling to ‘catch up,’ just rest and recovery. And even if we weren’t ahead, I’d still give him the time he needs. Homeschooling isn’t just about academics—it’s about meeting our kids where they are. How do you handle sick days? Plan ahead, go with the flow, or modify lessons?

Homeschool math lesson for today: Coffee > Sleep Patience = Infinite (or so we hope) Mistakes = Learning Coffee + Grace = Success Some days it all clicks. Other days... well, that’s what coffee (and starting over) is for! Homeschooling isn’t about perfect lessons — it’s about growing, adjusting, and giving ourselves as much grace as we give our kids. So here’s to the moms refilling coffee cups and showing up with love. You’re doing better than you think! #homeschoolmomlife #coffeeandgrace #honesthomeschool #eclectichomeschool

One of the best parts of homeschooling? Learning through real-life experiences! Today, my 3-year-old had her first day as my little apprentice. She may not have mastered trimming hooves just yet, but she excelled at petting the horses, telling them how cute they are, and handing out treats like they were going out of style! #HomeschoolLife #LearningThroughLiving #HomeschoolPreschool #RealLifeLearning #HandsOnLearning #FarmSchooling #HomeschoolAdventures #RaisingWildflowers #LittleApprentice #KidsAndHorses

How do you keep your kids engaged during lessons With spring approaching it s easy for attention to drift to the warm sunshine streaming through the window So how do I help my kids stay focused Here are a few things that work for us 1 Start with a favorite subject Kicking off lessons with something my son loves sets a positive tone for the day 2 Motivate with outdoor fun The promise of a trip to the local park a walk to the creek or a game of catch can do wonders for motivation 3 Embrace the wiggles When the need to move gets too strong we close the books and head outside We can always pick up where we left off tomorrow After all if they re ready to play learning can wait and honestly I m ready to join them How do you balance focus and outdoor

When the wind’s too wild for spring ball practice, you improvise—shop style. But first, someone’s gotta move the tractor. Who better than my 7-year-old with his 3-year-old sister riding co-pilot? #HomeschoolLife #FarmKids #SpringBallPrep #CountryLife #KidsWhoFarm #SiblingAdventures #HomeschoolAdventures #LittleFarmHands

Confession time: As a homeschool mom, I do NOT like art. I don’t enjoy teaching it, gathering supplies, or the dreaded cleanup. Paint, glue, glitter, and googly eyes practically haunt my dreams! That’s why I’m so grateful for our local library’s art nights. No setup, no cleanup— just pure creativity and fun. With weekly art nights and even more opportunities throughout the month, it’s a total lifesaver. We absolutely LOVE our local library-it’s hands-down my favorite homeschooling resource!
