Enjoy this week’s homeschool inspiration:

Here’s a personal response I wrote to a real-life friend who asked my opinion about Lisa and her work:

“I’m happy to answer your question about Lisa’s course. I haven’t actually done Replenish 365, but I have taken several of her shorter courses that she used to offer and I know Lisa quite well. I’ve always been impressed with her work and have loved everything I’ve participated in by her. She is very sincere, authentic, and joyful – all of which translates into her teaching style.

She has a unique, holistic way to communicate to mamas, and I appreciate that she shares her own stories quite vulnerably. I think she has a gift for helping women redefine and negotiate through hard places/transitions in their lives. So I could see it being a good fit for you if your heart leads you that way!”

If you or your kids (ages 6+) have never seen this series of documentaries, you better get on it! A beautifully fun way to travel the world from your sofa as a family and FREE with Amazon Prime!

(Heads up: Some clips mention the predominant religious views of a country.)

Two years ago I discovered Green Kid Crafts and my kids still love them. (I found Jonathan on the floor assembling one earlier today.)

I always appreciate how they arrive in the mailbox each month with all the components needed for all 3 crafts – no hunting down popsicle sticks required! Fun for your craft-loving kiddos ages 4-10.

These downloadable science mini-courses from Be Naturally Curious are super-inexpensive, created by professional scientists/passionate nature lovers, and ideal for your K-5th graders.

If you’re looking for inspiring science stories and simple projects, these are worth a peek!
