You may not even know you need a homeschool morning time in your life if you don’t know what it is, so we probably ought to address that first. What exactly is morning time? It can be a lot of things, but most of all, it’s a time you gather your homeschooling family together for learning.

Morning time has been the best part of our homeschool day for years. Why? Lot’s of reasons:

  • You can’t beat it for productivity with multiple ages.
  • It’s a great way to add some of subjects that are consistently harder to fit in to your daily schedule.
  • It’s an easy way to include good and beautiful things into your day.
  • It naturally helps with building habits that are important to your family.
  • The time can be full of joy and fun.
  • And, it’s a great way to build family relationships.

Morning time is really just a catch phrase because there’s no right time to do it in your daily schedule. There’s also no right way to do it. 

All of that freedom can make morning time seem a little overwhelming to consider – especially when you think about gathering the entire crew together. What in the world can you possibly do with everyone at the same time when they’re all at different ages and stages? And, why does it really matter?

That’s what I’ll help you figure out!

In this masterclass, we’ll explore a bunch of practical possibilities for a successful morning time in your home. We’ll take a deep dive to answer all of these questions and any others you might have:

  • Is morning time right for my family?
  • What’s the best time of the day for us to gather?
  • How long should it take?
  • Do all the children have to join in?
  • What do we DO during morning time? (This one’s a biggie for our conversation.)
  • How do I handle active/uninterested/bothersome children?

When I said morning time has been the best part of our homeschool day for years, I meant it. Our family culture has been shaped significantly during this time together. From habits of worship and brain training to a quick and systematic way of getting in “all the things”, morning time has checked lots of boxes for us. Even now that I’m only homeschooling one, we still maintain our morning time because of the goodness and simplification it brings to our homeschool day. 

You can have a successful homeschool morning time, too! No matter what you want that to look like, or how much time you have to spend, or how many children you need to gather together, it can work beautifully. 

Come with all your questions, fears, and even past frustrations. We’ll get them worked out so that you can stake claim to a wonderful morning time, too.

And, if you happen to have lingering questions after the training, you’ll have access to a private Facebook group where you can feel free to ask any lingering questions! 

Approximately 1 hour of training and 20 minutes of Q&A time.

Happy birthday to my favorite girl in the world! L Happy birthday to my favorite girl in the world! Love you, @mahaylawest_1! 🥰
The breath of God produces ice,⠀ and the broad The breath of God produces ice,⠀
and the broad waters become frozen.⠀
He loads the clouds with moisture;⠀
he scatters his lightning through them.⠀
At his direction they swirl around⠀
over the face of the whole earth⠀
to do whatever he commands them.⠀
He brings the clouds to punish people,⠀
or to water his earth and show his love.⠀
Listen to this, Job;⠀
stop and consider God’s wonders. ⠀

When my boys were little, I loved reading these “letters from God” to them as blessings to start the day.
As I was sorting bookshelves earlier this month, I stumbled across this sweet book again. I decided the blessings are still as pertinent today for my bigger boy as they were years ago. So, we’re starting our day yet again with a quick, but powerful “letter from God” before jumping into our daily Bible studies.
Do you do anything special to start your day off on the right foot? I’d love to hear about it!
Click the link in my bio for a link to the book.

Winter homeschooling can be tough in normal years. Winter homeschooling can be tough in normal years. It’s cold, the days are dark, and everyone’s cooped up together 24/7. That’s a recipe for the winter blahs to march right into your house and wreak havoc on attitudes and motivation.⠀
⠀
This year’s winter is unlike any other and those blahs may have actually settled in long before now. If you or your children are feeling down, anxious, or bored with school, are “at” each other constantly, bouncing off the walls, or tears and fighting are the norm…the blahs are there.⠀
⠀
Let’s get you, your children, and your homeschool back on track. I’ll be teaching a Homeschool Masterclass on Thursday afternoon to help you kick the blahs to the curb. If you can attend live, come! If you can’t attend live, catch the replay!⠀
⠀
We’ll tackle all sorts of problems the blahs bring with them with very practical  ideas that are easy to implement! ⠀
⠀
Click the link in my bio to join me. There is no shame in admitting that the blahs have arrived and you need a little boost from a friend. ❤️ ⠀

Oh, what peace this quote brings to my soul. It’ Oh, what peace this quote brings to my soul. It’s true, you know. I’ve told my children for years that it only takes a nature walk to see God through His handiwork and to know that His promises are true.⠀
⠀
When the world seems to be falling apart around you, the sun never stops shining. The seasons never stop moving. Without a single, solitary effort of human hands, the woodlands still buzz with life.⠀
⠀
A student of nature can see the consistency in cycles and notice the incredible and creative intricacy of even the smallest specimen and be in awe that we truly serve a God who isn’t unaware of even one tiny detail in our world right now. ⠀
⠀
Life kind of seems overwhelming, though, I know. Remember when I said my motto lately has been to just put one foot in front of the other to do the next right thing? Nature walks (even when it’s cold) never fail me as a right thing. ⠀
⠀
Breathe, friend. Take a nature walk today and let God speak to your soul.⠀

It might seem trite to post a winter picture book It might seem trite to post a winter picture book list right now, but I’m a big believer in keeping things as normal as possible in my home when things aren’t so normal otherwise.⠀
⠀
It’s the principle of putting one foot in front of the other as you simply do the next right thing. Good books almost always can be a “next right thing” choice.⠀
⠀
Even though I’m not homeschooling younger children anymore, I’ll probably never stop sharing wonderful picture book ideas with you. 🤓 I’ve spent way too many hours reading and collecting to ever stop loving them!⠀
⠀
Eli and I may not be using these books right now, but they are still some of my favorites for winter reading. Whatever may be going on around you, the winter months are always a good time of year to get in lots of extra reading. Snuggling and hot chocolate are optional, but encouraged.⠀
⠀
