Something amazing happened yesterday that I just had to share, because it perfectly captures what makes homeschooling so special. 🌟 The Morning Plan: A Lesson in Indian Cuisine Picture this: We're at an international market learning about Indian spices from a local chef. She's teaching us about
I've been doing a lot of thinking lately about what makes homeschooling really work. You know how sometimes you need to break something down to its most basic parts to truly understand it? That's exactly what's been on my mind. First though, I want
Recently, I had a pretty cool (and surprisingly deep) math session with my youngest, and I thought I’d share it with you—it’s one of those “homeschooling moments” that reminds me why we do this. Turning Math into “Pizza” We started with a simple analogy to help her

Today, I want to share with you something that happens when you take your mission statement (roadmap) and use it as a launching pad to transform basic subjects into incredible learning adventures. Start With Your Foundation (But Don't Stop There!) Remember your mission statement? That's your

I had two very different but equally interesting math sessions with my kids today, and I thought it would be a great opportunity to share how we approach math in our homeschool. Each child has their own pace and learning style, and while it can be challenging, it’s also
I’ve been working on something exciting lately—a masterclass on how to create a personalized curriculum for homeschooling. It’s packed with lessons my wife and I have learned over the past five years of homeschooling, starting during COVID like many families. One of the sections I’ve been
When we started homeschooling, one of the first things my wife and I realized is that education isn’t just about what’s in the textbooks. Sure, there’s math, science, and history—but what about everything else kids need to learn to thrive in life? Here’s the thing:
Have you ever watched a magic show and thought, How did they do that? It’s like the magician knows something the rest of us don’t. Behind every impressive trick, there’s a whole lot of practice, preparation, and, yes—some misdirection. In fact, magic has even become a
Math can sometimes feel like a tough subject to crack, especially when it comes to topics like division. I get it—my youngest wasn’t too thrilled about division either. But the thing is, math doesn’t have to be dry and boring, especially when you bring in a bit
