I’m a sucker for time management books, especially those that focus on paring down and enjoying time as mamas–rather than “squeezing in more.”

That’s what makes Jessica’s approach so appealing–if you’re trying to find time for your passions it’s worth a peek!

When we first began homeschooling seven years ago, I knew I wanted something different for our family, but I wasn’t sure exactly what!

Oak Meadow’s alternative approach was just what we needed to get us started–planned enough to make me feel comfortable, but flexible enough to let us find our own way.

Everyone knows about PBS, but did you know they also have a FREE service called PBS LearningMedia​?

Browse by grade or subject to find digital resources (video, audio, lesson plans) on thousands of different topics. Definitely one site worth exploring in your homeschool!
