Our homeschool style has changed a lot over the years as well. Our homeschool is constantly flexing and adapting to fit our currently lifestyle. Thanks for sharing.

We are an eclectic homeschooling family. I have no desire to stick with one style. I love to do whatever works and that we enjoy. Thanks for sharing.

I have to say that we do change curriculum often :) Not usually in the middle of it, but I love switching up our curriculum from year to year!

Love and appreciate your heart. So glad to have come across your content our kiddos are similar in age and interests it seems. We started EP last year and loved it but often look to the other homeschool mom videos and start to doubt it’s enough. Thank you!

Hey! Tuning in from our collab playlist. Your makeup looks lovely. Good 'ole poetry tea time. We stopped it because we were not consistent. Tried to do it on Thursdays-Thursday Tea Time. Just didn't happen. New Subscriber. 🌻

We don’t do poetry tea time either! We tried but it felt like something I had to be overly prepared for with snacks 😂

Things I don't do as a homeschooler: 1. I don't do organized sports or music lessons (...my oldest is teaching herself piano) 2. I don't use unit studies. I have tried and they kind of work...but I usually just end up reading a book aloud...and not doing connecting activities 3. I don't do a lot of curriculum hoping around. Once we find something that works we tend to stick with it. Occasionally, I might try something new but for the most part (5 years in) our choices have been pretty consistent. Those are my top 3...and the only ones I could think of ATM.

We don’t do a morning basket as we do family subjects in the afternoons or early evenings depending on the time we agree on me and my older kids!!! We don’t do family subjects daily!!! We’ve never used a basket!!! We don’t poetry tea time but poetry is in my kids language arts curriculum!!! We love our homeschool group but it’s the one me and my husband was in when we partly homeschooled as teenagers!!! I only have 1 who loves organised sports and I have one who is learning to swim but we are active as a family as we surf!!! I try to not change curriculum unless it’s needed!!! We’ve had to jump around with phonics!!! If something works I stick with it as well!!! We have a mix of homeschool styles!!!

I always hesitate to say we will never do things because needs change. Thanks for the encouragement 😊

Thanks for the encouragement!!! We are the same. I do a "basket" but its basically our group time/Bible/shared subjects. We have done poetry tea time in the past but its mostly for fun. We've put our own spin on it. It is definitely not something we do every week. Maybe once a month at the most! We also do not parttake in organized sports. It doesn't fit our schedule or budget...I also do not want to burn me or my kids out. We also never participated in a co op. Im not too keen on the "rules" and its hard to find like minded groups. I changed curriculum around SO much in the beginning years. The last 3 years I feel like I have settled into a good groove. I brought in Easy Peasy for the first time ever this year and we LOVE it. The woman that does our yearly portfolio check has been urging me to try it and I found your video in the summer and thought I'd go for it. I prefer a more relaxed homeschool. We can't possibly teach them all the things and do all the fun things. But we can definitely do whats best and fits for our family.

Thank you for sharing! Much needed. We’re planning to go with Easy Peasy for this upcoming year. Our current curriculum isn’t working as well for us in our current stage of life. We’ve actually put our second born on EP Learn to Read program. Our oldest has already switch to EP spelling. And the youngest is a baby, so he’s just watching and cooing them along 🤗 I really needed to hear the part about being in organized sports. We’ve got pressure from family to get the boys in organized sports, but the team schedules aren’t working for our family. And I just really don’t want to do that right now. The only one of those things we do is morning basket, which is essentially our Bible time. I just happen to organize it in a basket, lol. There are so many wonderful things that can be done in homeschool. I guess they key is to pick the few that work for our family and don’t sweat the rest. We can’t possibly do all the things and not burn ourselves and kids out.

We go on and off with morning basket and don't do it every day. I don't do poetry tea time either, I've started adding a poem once a week but usually it is quick and I had it for narration with my kids but they haven't shown a tremendous interest either lol.

We will be doing EP for the first time in the fall. I have jumped around too many times and realized it’s been a huge stress for me and very expensive. So I’m praying this works out for us and we can stick with one for a whole school year.

We aren’t a big sports family either. I’m thankful we don’t have to take the time in the evening and weekends for sports. My girls are pretty active at our house or on play dates so I’m not too concerned about PE 😀

We don’t do poetry tea time either. I just don’t see my boys being into it 😂

I have always dreamed of doing poetry tea time, but I feel like it would add so much stress. We love tea parties occasionally, but definitely not on the daily basis. Haha! I loved this video! ❤

You're just the sweetest mama and so encouraging! Love your intro😊❤

Hahaha, so this year is the first year that we have tried Poetry tea-time and it has worked for us. Though, I think it will probably be a fall/winter/Spring thing as it seems to work with colder weather (go outside...till too cold...come inside have cocoa or tea read poetry and maybe some books).

We don't do poetry tea time. I may try it out once a month though as I do like poetry and herbal teas xx

We tried poetry tea time once and it just wasn’t for us.
