The 5 Most Popular Homeschool Methods and Styles Explained
I’m not really the kind of person who likes to put myself in a box (I’m a rebel through and through) BUT I have found it helpful to figure out what homeschool method works best for us.

What’s Been Working in Our Homeschool Lately, Resources We’re Loving & Things I Need to Change
I thought it would be fun to start a new series here on things that have been working in our homeschool lately, resources we’re loving and things I need to change.

The vision planner has now been updated and I can’t wait for other homeschoolers to use it to set a vision for…

A Homeschool Resource Giveaway
This month on the Intentional Homeschooling Instagram I have been hosting the third annual #HereIsOurHomeschool challenge. As part of it I have been sharing a number of our favorite homeschool resources in my Instagram stories and the other day I had the idea of doing a giveaway and buying some of our favorite homeschool resources for one lucky person, and because I like to act on things fairly quickly, here’s the giveaway! Even though I am hosting the challenge over on Instagram I didn’t want to have the giveaway there because I’m honestly so over Instagram giveaways. I’m constantly being tagged by people for their entries into random giveaways and…
