Adding a desk for my almost four year-old daughter has been a great addition to our homeschool space. Now, she can do “her work” alongside her brothers. When she’s not working, you can find her SANNNGIN’ IN THE BACKGROUND! #martinreference #swipeleft #soundon 👀🎤👧🏽😉 She’s such a busy 🐝 these days!

School got off to a rocky start this morning (my fault not the kids), but everything went well anyway. We got through all of our lessons, and I worked with/played with baby girl while helping the boys with their work. 🤩 . Having to be here for all of the children all of the time has been difficult, only for one reason: I didn’t want to change. I like focusing on one thing at a time, but that’s just not feasible while homeschooling multiple children. Before, I spent soooo much time resisting the need to embrace the chaos that it made me a mean mommy. “Why can’t they just wait?!” I thought to myself. 😡 They’re curious children, that’s why! They want to learn and want my assistance in doing so. How silly of me to get mad at that! So, today I did all the things during homeschool, and we had a great experience because of it. . Mamas, give in and be present. You can do all the things... sometimes. And amen. 🥰

So, I caved. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ The picture on the left is in 2008 after I had my first baby, and the picture on the right is me now. 11 year difference, yet the same ole me. 🥰 Happy Sunday, friends! ❤️#howharddidaginghityouchallenge

Happy Friday, peeps! 🤩 Just doing a little housekeeping to make sure you know how to be notified when I post and/or go live. Not that I’m doing anything particularly special over here. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I had a mama tell me she wanted to be able to know when I go live (similar to how Facebook lets you set event reminders,) and I shared this with her. I thought I should share it with others, too. #sharingiscaring 🙌🏽 Anywho, no school on Fridays, so I’ll do my shopping for the week, and the kids will roll with me. Hope y’all have a great day! 🥰

You know there’s some serious coloring going on when that head tilt happens. 😆 Are you joining me on my live chat today at 3 PM EST here on Instagram, where I’ll talk about how to homeschool on the cheap? I’ll share what I’ve done to save money, and want to know your secrets, too! Give me a 👍🏽if you’ll be there, and tag a friend who needs this info as well! 🤗👯‍♀️

In case y’all didn’t know how serious I am about my children seeing themselves in as many spaces as I can introduce to them... meet the Black Duplo family! 🤩 I found them on eBay, which was not as simple as it should’ve been. 🤨 Anywho, they’ll be added to her existing Duplos that she plays with every day during and outside of our school time. 👍🏽 ▫️ Swipe left to see the boys checking out the USA map that card with their @littlepassports package for Social Studies today (looks fun!), then swipe again to see how comfortable they’ve made themselves in our homeschool space. 🤪 ▫️ How y’all doing this Wednesday?
