A few years ago, I came up with a plan... a monthly checklist of tasks to complete before Christmas. This plan has made the holidays so much easier and less stressful. And, while I was sharing this plan with a few of my homeschool mom friends the other day, they went nuts for it. And so I thought all of you might want to like the plan, too!

What does our schedule look like as a homeschooling family? How do we fit lessons, classes, activities and family time into a week? Well, I’ll tell you!

Every homeschooling family is going to have a different schedule, but seeing how others do it can be useful as inspiration when building your own schedule.

Here’s what our week looks like!

My goal with my morning basket is to make it as simple and quick as possible, while also making it as fun and educational as possible. I also want to take some of the thinking and decision-making out of those first few minutes of the day, so I can save that for more in-depth lessons later.

Here’s what’s currently in our homeschool morning basket.

It’s our first week of the new homeschool year, so come plan with me, 1 month of homeschool lessons, activities, and classes. While that might seem a little overwhelming, it’s easier and simpler than you might think. I'll explain how and why I plan the way that I do and how it helps keep us on track with our homeschooling lessons.

I’m going back-to-school shopping as a homeschool mom! Come with me as I go on my annual Walmart run (we don’t have Target in Canada at the moment, so this is as good as it gets).

I’ll show you what I bought, how much and why for all the supplies I picked up to get ready for a new year of homeschooling.

What supplies do you actually need to get started as a homeschooler? If you base it off of social media, you might think you need a million things, from globes, to art supplies, to computers, to a whole classroom setup.

But the reality is that you don’t actually need that much to get started. I’m sharing the things you actually NEED, a few nice extras and a few things to invest in for the long run. The length of the list might surprise you!
