I love letting my children know that I learn from them and that I also make mistakes just like they do.  They feel so important and so proud of themselves when they teach me something. In truth, I learn from them all the time. I find it so important to let them know th...

Each day our homeschool runs on its daily schedule. I incorporate all the required set work with the kid's chosen theme of the week as well as two additional kid chosen electives. We follow our daily schedule quite precisely, I ensure we get through all our work while...
