Dual enrollment. I actually have a lot to say about it. At this point, my oldest son finished his associates degree, and my next two teens are about to start their second year. So I wanted to give an update on our experience with dual enrollment. 

Between the three of them, they’ve attended six different colleges. So where do I start with sharing our experience with dual enrollment. 

This post is going to be a review of dual enrollment—the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Homeschool all in one curriculums are a work from home mom’s secret weapon. But they get a bad rap in the homeschool world. 

If you want to streamline your education journey, save time, and still tailor education for your kids. Then let’s dive into the ultimate guide to homeschool all in one curriculum.  

There are so many homeschool curriculum options out there. It is hard to know where to start. Then throw in the added pressure that you if you are going to be a real homeschool mom you need to write your own curriculum, do hours of research, and carefully piece it all together. I don’t know if you can be a real homeschool mom if you aren't doing this. 

Mom, working from home and homeschooling kids  is stressful enough. It is ok to use a homeschool all in one curriculum.

Do you dread the thought of teaching art for homeschool? Are you feeling like you aren’t creative enough or you don’t have the skill? You can add art to your homeschool, even if you aren’t an artist.

We are homeschool moms, so we are supposed to be amazing at teaching our kids and giving them experiences. All while working from home. You’re a super mom.

 Let’s face it. There are certain subjects that we just hate to teach. Chemistry and algebra get me every time. We know we want to give our kids the best, well-rounded education, but our own lack makes it feel impossible.

Art doesn't need to be one of those subjects you avoid. You can easily add art to your homeschool without being an artist.

It is hard not to have two incomes. Yes, you can be really frugal, but it helps to have that second income coming it. Work from home mom jobs expanded in the last few years, making it possible to make money from home and homeschool. 

While there are many work from home mom jobs, there are also several scams. Or things that you end up spending way too much time on for very little return.

What does success look like for you? We have so many people defining how to be successful that we need to pause and define it for ourselves. 

How to be successful. Is it defined, in your mind, by a bigger house, a bigger car, and a bigger bank account? This is how traditional success is typically defined. But for the work from home and homeschool mom, how to be successful looks completely different. 

The Instagram reels will try to tell us success looks like six figures, or a homestead, or perfect sourdough bread. But that also doesn't work for work from home and homeschool moms. 

It is time to go outside of the box and define how to be successful on our own terms. We need a definition that fits real life, not a polished fantasy.

What does failing forward mean? Failing forward is one of those phrases we hear all the time. But, at this point, it has reached the status of losing its meaning. 

This is one of those statements that is at the top of all the mindset guru's lists. But what does failing forward mean? Is it really possible to always fail forward. Is failure always a bad thing?

Can you actually work from home for mom and homeschool six kids? How is that even possible? Won’t everyone demand your attention at the same time—kids, clients, curriculum, laundry, and the random crisis of the day? Is it truly possible to build a business and homeschool without completely losing your mind? 

Work from home for mom brings up a lot of questions and doubts. However, here’s what I’ve learned along the way: it is possible to work from home and homeschool. It isn’t effortless. It isn’t picture-perfect. But it is absolutely doable—and it can even be deeply rewarding. 

Let me tell you how I got here and what has actually made it happen for work from home for mom.

One question I see asked a lot from homeschool moms is how do I create motivated learners?  

This is one of the biggest struggles in homeschool. Or at least it can feel like it. I confess, I’ve never struggled with motivating my kids to learn. And I am going to let you in on the secret sauce. This post is all about creating motivated learners.  

So let’s talk about how to create motivated learners. It is possible, and I want to help you take the struggle out of homeschooling.

You can homeschool, work, and eat in as small space. It just takes a little imagination to organize a small space. 

Your home is both a living space and a learning space, the line between chaos and calm gets blurry really fast. Whether you have a dedicated homeschool room or you are making magic happen in the corner of your kitchen, you can absolutely create a space that works. You can organize a small space to work for you. 

If you are buying the same book twice because you can’t find it, or the quiz book disappears for months like it joined witness protection, then it is time to organize your small space. Your homeschool space should work for functionality, flexibility, and peace of mind. 

The good news? You don’t need a bigger house. You just need a few genius strategies to organize a small space.
