You have decided you want to homeschool but how do you actually start homeschooling? How do you make sure you are homeschooling legally as well as how do you really educate your children? I will be tackling those two questions today. If you have been homeschooling for years but feel like you are stuck in a rut you may still benefit from this video as I give some tips and tricks on how to find a method that works for your personality and your family.       WATCH NEXT Homeschool Q & A – With My Husband!

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. We just finished our fourth year homeschooling and we finally hit our stride in the last few months of this year once I realized that there was a definite homeschool style that suited our family. Today I’m going to share the five most popular homeschool methods that I see people gravitating to these days and what they actually mean. These are very short summaries to give you an overview. My goal here is…

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. We are doing year rounds schooling this year so while lots of people are closing out their school year we will just continue on the way we do.

Okay, the video and the resources are below!       I would love it if you would subscribe on…

I get lots of questions about homeschooling and I decided to bring Jared in for a Q & A video because homeschooling does not fall completely on my shoulders, it’s something we do as we live life together as a family. In the video we are tackling these: how is unschooling going? what if your husband isn’t on board with homeschooling? what is your favorite part of homeschooling? how do you make sure you are following your local curriculum? how do we manage with extra curricular activities? how to we make individual Bible reading part of kids’ day? how do we homeschool while adjusting to a new foster care placement?…

Even though we recently switched to officially unschooling I still like planning. I’m in the process of reflecting on our last school year and will soon be planning for the next (though, to be honest, we learn all year round). Last year I made a homeschool vision planner guide book and it was well received and downloaded thousands of times, I am going to be using the vision planner again this year to do some planning for our year but first I wanted to make a few updates. The vision planner has now been updated and I can’t wait for other homeschoolers to use it to set a vision for…

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…
