Really enjoyed this video! Thank you! You are so well spoken and easy to understand. So curious about what your day looks like after you are done the school portion? Also, would love a deep dive into the trello and how you use it for homeschooling. Thanks!

I’m struggling to decide if I want to do private homeschooling, me schooling them at home or do a virtual online school through my school district it’s free. All they have to do is complete all their assignments for the day to be marked as present and if needed they can get extra help. Also we have to meet with their teacher once a month. I feel like I’m a bad mom if I don’t private home school my kids myself.

I saw you commented on my other video as well, but wanted to post my response here too: Mom-guilt is REAL! A good place to start is to ask yourself: - What is my goal with schooling my kids at home? - And, what would a good homeschool day look like and FEEL like for me as well as my kids? If you find that your reasons for keeping them home (and out of public school) have to do with flexibility, freedom, personal beliefs, etc. Then it doesn't really matter how the homeschooling is done. And, if it's important for homeschooling to feel enjoyable and do-able, then it may be best to choose the path that creates the least work for you. :) Some homeschooling belief systems like to act like there's a "right" and "best" way to homeschool. But, what drives most people to homeschool is that there is flexibility and personal choice in HOW it is done. So feel free to give yourself some grace and flexibility in HOW you choose to make it happen. :)
