Have you ever asked that question? Honestly, both of us have, and we couldn't figure out how there could be a new homeschooling mom on the planet who hasn't! The initial answer that most (all?) of us received might have been as frustrating to you as it was to us...so we presented some ideas and examples - and shared our own days - to give you an idea of how to plan your own.  Caveat: don't compare what you're doing with what we talk about if it inspires "momma guilt" rather than inspiration, ok? We're on your side friends; this is a judgment-free zone!

We are certainly living in the age of technology, and screen use (and addiction) has reached an all-time high. While many of us use the internet, our phones, and our laptops for learning and research, there is a downside to that. Listen in as we discuss ways to tame the monster in your house, and how to balance being "connected" via technology and in real life...

One of the things that makes homeschooling a viable, even preferable, alternative to the form of education we're all used to is that we have the ability - can I say even the responsibility? - to make learning engaging and exciting for our children. And YES, you can do that, too! 

And who knows? In the process, you may even adopt a fresh and new attitude about learning for yourself!
