Homeschooling in a pandemic || You don't have to, do this instead

Let’s face it, we are all different and I know that there might be a lot of people out there trying to encourage you to homeschool your kids in this pandemic but homeschooling is not for everyone. As much as some people can try they just don’t have it in their bones, as much as some people can try they are just too exhausted to do it, as much as some people can try they just can’t juggle the demands of working from and homeschooling. Just like everything else, homeschooling is HARD !!! We have been thrown into a difficult situation all over the world and while we are struggling to be stable mentally, we have to deal with homeschooling too and working from home? Sigh!! I said you don’t have to homeschool in the sense of the word “Home” “school” you don’t need to have a table and chair, designated area or attending zoom classes for your younger kids to feel like you are keeping them engaged.

Although, we’ve been home together all his life and we have done so many activities together, I felt that this was going to be so different and difficult but just like everything in life it comes with its challenges but nothing not handle able (if that is a word) as I have discovered. As a stay at home mum who decides to home school your child after ...

Boom Play Circle time action songs playlist for your preschoolers

I have a love-hate relationship with circle time. First, I have to be animated, then I have to remember songs that I would rather not remember, It takes time for me to come into myself in the mornings and since our circle time is usually in the mornings it is so difficult to get myself in the zone. I listened to someone on a homeschooling conference and she spoke about how creating a playlist for her kids (who are older) helps them get going in the morning and the light bulb hit me. I needed to create a playlist that will basically help us get moving and help our circle time. If you are wondering what is circle time. According to https://childrencentral.net/ Circle time is a time for important social interactions among young children. It helps develop positive relationships between kids through engaging and fun activities. However in a homeschool setting it is different if you don't have multiple children, essentially it's just the time t...
