Just think positive thoughts about the terrible situation you are in and everything will be ok. That is typically the promise made from those who promote the idea of the power of positive thinking. But are we allowed to just have a bad day?

As a busy work from home mom and homeschool mom, it often feels like you can never have a bad day. The kids are watching us. We have clients to juggle. We need to keep up the façade of everything being under control. There are no chinks in our super-mom armor. Right? 

If you do have a bad day, then you aren’t thinking positively enough. Or you experience the guilt that you should have more control over your situation. Is it possible to just give ourselves permission to have a crappy day.

I had it all planned out. I knew exactly how we would do homeschool dual enrollment. It was working great. Until the school changed the program, communicated very poorly on the changes, and I was back down the rabbit hole looking for schools.

 College dual enrollment is exactly what it sounds like. Your high school student is taking college classes while in high school. Pretty simple. 

This is a great way to get your student started on college while still in high school. When my oldest son graduates next year, he will have about 40 college credits. He will need one more year to complete his associate's degree.

Good books history are the best way to introduce yourself and your kids to the events of history. And the best part is they don’t have to be burning. 

History is exciting because you discover that truth really is stranger than fiction. And if you use good books history, then it becomes an exciting adventure. You can even add these books to your homeschool curriculum or read them aloud.  

Through good books history your kids can dive into the past, meet key figures, and experience pivotal moments in ways that textbooks alone often fail to deliver. Now don’t get me wrong, I love textbooks and homeschool all in on curriculum. But I also love to add good books history to the to be read pile.  

If you want to create a well-rounded and dynamic homeschool, then add good books history.

Working from home with a baby is a juggling act that rivals any circus. It helps to have the right baby gear. This is my mom tested and baby approved list of the only baby gear you will need working from home with a baby.

Working from home with a baby requires imagination and trial and error. It requires re-imagining your schedule, your sleep, dinner, and how to even work with a baby. It requires figuring out how to balance it all in the season you are in. 

It is much easier working from home with a newborn because she doesn't want to move. She just wants mommy snuggles…Twenty. Four. Seven.

 When your bundle of joy becomes mobile that is when the excitement really begins. It helps to have the right baby gear to use while working from home with a baby.
