Fridays are different for us 😊

We have always done fun Fridays since the beginning days of our homeschool. While it looks different every week and has evolved throughout the seasons and years, we have always had a lighter school day on Friday, finishing spelling tests and fun school like Night Zookeeper, as well fun (usually inexpensive) activities from swimming, to skating, to exploring a local museum or park. This is our dedicated day (but not the ONLY day of the week) that we have to have fun and make memories! I also usually try to get some cleaning done in the mornings to help up the house for the weekend. We always finish the day with a family movie night that we all look forward to! Today was a simple, but fun day for us. What do your Fridays look like?

If I had that extra room and didn't use it for anything girl, I'd be turning it into a library/reading room!! Keep a couch in there and line the walls with shelves! Loved seeing your day!

[@thepracticalhomeschooler]

I do like that idea 😃

[@Brigsgirl22]

Ditto!

[@Soy_Jessica_]

I hope your hubby feels better soon God bless will keep your family in my prayers love this beautiful cute video !!!! Your baby is the cutest !!!

[@thepracticalhomeschooler]

Thank you so much! I do appreciate that!

[@bethart1985]

Stop giving me baby fever!!! 🫣 She is adorable!! You are rocking it! I definitely agree that the way the house looks has a lot to do with what mood I'm going to be in! We try and tidy up every night and it makes the day so much better!

[@thepracticalhomeschooler]

Yes same! It’s helps so much! But there are definitely the nights (like just last night) that it doesn’t happen

[@sarasali3077]

Oh baby feet! ❤ Thanks for sharing your day!

[@joanna3367]

Cheeks for daysssss on baby Mia 😍 so cute!!!! Great video !!! The voiceover videos are always so entertaining!

[@thepracticalhomeschooler]

🥰🥰

[@lifewithginab]

I would love to have that room... any room at this point 😂❤ loved watching as always!

[@thepracticalhomeschooler]

Soon enough!! ❤️❤️

My husband has had huge back pain relief receiving LLLT (low level laser therapy) some chiropractors have the cold lasers, near us it’s an acupuncturist with a pain relief specialty. Not many people know about it, so only reason why I mention it.

[@thepracticalhomeschooler]

Thanks for sharing! I told my husband and he’s going to ask his chiro about it!

[@unkown-_92]

"Curiosity killed the cat but. satisfaction brought him back," is an actual saying.

[@thepracticalhomeschooler]

That’s why I laughed…she thought she made it up 🥰😅

[@BaudelaireOrphan1]

Good job, those are hard moments when other people have attitude towards you. I am a very assertive and sometimes aggressive person and do not take others being rude to me, sometimes I can snap back but being conscious and using it as a teaching moment is soooo important for kids. You did great! Better than me. 😅

[@worldofweeze]

Love watching your days! That baby!!! 🥰

[@cheriselueck2194]

Thanks for sharing! I love how calm and affectionate you are with your girls. I know you said you don’t really have a recipe for the dinner you made….any way you could share a “rough recipe” lol. How much cream? Cheese? You mentioned bone broth… thanks! ❤

[@thepracticalhomeschooler]

I literally don’t even measure 🙈🙊 it’s a lb of pasta and a lb. of ground meat (whatever kind you prefer), I usually brown the meat and onions then remove them and add a little butter and flour to make a roux, then add milk/cream (whatever I have in my fridge), a bit of bone broth to help it go further, and some Parmesan cheese until it’s the consistency I like, then add spinach. Pinterest has a million versions of this! Just look up creamy pasta with sausage and you’ll find a bunch! (You can even add sun dried tomatoes!)

[@karenu.7500]

What a fun peek into your day as a homeschooling mom! Have you every done or considered being apart of a Co-op? Curious on your thoughts 😊

[@thepracticalhomeschooler]

I do like the thought of a co op if it fits your family’s needs. The ones local to us are either very expensive (especially x3 kids), or they require a TON of hands on teaching and help from the parents or the classes are main subjects like math and LA and science that I already have resources for. So I check every year JUST to be sure, but it has never worked for us. We just try to join different homeschool activities and It’s been working well.

[@amandamendoza4181]

Could you make this extra room a dining room? I love a fireplace in the dining room.

[@thepracticalhomeschooler]

We have a dining room that doubles as our school room. But I do love the idea of a fire place in the dining room too!

[@ArchingScarab]

Can you share where you got your outfit you were talking about? I need comfortable sets too and I've tried Shein but their stuff is always so cheap and just looks off. Thanks!

[@thepracticalhomeschooler]

This one was Lou & Gray from Loft (I got it on a Black Friday sale). They have the softest sets, but I only ever get them on sale (which they have all the time).

[@ArchingScarab]

Thanks so much!! @@thepracticalhomeschooler

[@Built_Resilient]

Your baby is so content! I’m watching and just like “why is my baby so freaking high maintenance!?”😂😂 Anyhow, you have a beautiful life💖

[@thepracticalhomeschooler]

She’s my first one like that 😅 all the others were more high maintenance

[@brianalynn1800]

Do you have a link for your vacuum?

[@thepracticalhomeschooler]

It’s from Costco! www.costco.com/shark-cordless-pro-vacuum-with-clean-sense-iq.product.4000035456.html

[@brianalynn1800]

Thank you!

[@worldofweeze]

Hi Lauren! 7th grade??!! Easton will be in 6th and I almost can't believe it😭

[@thepracticalhomeschooler]

It’s too much 😭

[@andrewjessicahersh9466]

McDonald’s still has a play place? I do t think I’ve seen one for ages!

[@thepracticalhomeschooler]

Same! This one is far from our house but I forgot they existed 🤷‍♀️
