#HipTips 16. Teach Life Skills. . Chores (or Life Skills) don’t generally rank up there at the top when we start listing school subjects we consider most important. But these skills are lessons our kids need to be learning most... like responsibility, work ethic, taking ownership of possessions and property, and the importance of everyone in a family pulling his or her own weight. And honestly mom, we need the help to manage all that we have to do!!

#HipTips 15. Make Art. . Many of us don't consider ourselves artists so I understand why some moms choose to skip art. Or sometimes we just simply hate the mess! But don't do it. Don't skip art. When you are having an off day, art can turn the day around. It helps us recover a sense of peace, the ability to focus, and inner joy in creating! . Here are some great ideas on different art projects to add to your homeschool day. just click the link in our profile to go directly to this article. https://hiphomeschoolmoms.com/category/homeschooling/subject/arts/ #art #homeschool #365homeschool #make #create #homeschooling #dontskipart #choosejoy #artstores

#HipTips 14. Know your why. . There is no right or wrong answer. There are many wonderful reasons to homeschool. But you need to find yours. Let it be the anchor that holds you steady when the storms come. You need to know your why, because this homeschool mom job is a lot harder than it looks. Give yourself that strong foundation so you will be able to keep going… even when the going gets rough.

#HipTips 13. Put Relationships First. . When we force curriculum, schedules, book lists, philosophies, and methods onto our children when they aren’t working – we’re stirring up a recipe for unrest. The delight of learning and the joyful atmosphere of home needs to always come before our desire to pursue a certain method, read a certain book, or accomplish a curriculum.

#HipTips 12. Travel. Taking your homeschool on the road is beneficial in so many ways. Research shows kids who travel have better grades (59%), higher graduation rates from high school (95%) and from college (63%). In fact, the respondents said educational trips had a lasting impact on their education and career because the trips made them more engaged and intellectually curious. But that is just the beginning of the benefits from traveling! You can read more benefits here.

#HipTips 11. Make Menu Plans. . Most moms are looking for every way possible to save some time and money. Menu Plans do both! Thinking about what to cook every day is hard and can lead to a food rut when you are in a rush to get something on the table. We tend to fallback to just a few dishes that we can prepare quickly and we usually have the ingredients in the house. When you take just a few minutes to plan the meals for the week I recommend going ahead and making the grocery list. If you can, go ahead and shop online and have it ready to pick up. This will help you save time and money at the grocery store too because you are not there to buy those random impulse buys. AND it takes no time to just pick up the order!! Plus, with just a little time to research, your dinners might not fall into the same old rut! We have a recipe site that might help! . https://lovetheserecipes.com/ Just click the link in our bio to go directly to this website. #homeschoolhacks #lifehacks #365homeschool #homeschool #lovetheserecipes #menuplans #shoponline #homeschoollifestyle #savetime

#HipTips 10. Follow Rabbit Trails. . Homeschooling CAN be fun! Spark your child’s interest and fan the flames around things they are curious about. Interest-led learning is not a break from learning... Rather it is actually taking a topic your child is curious about and allowing them to explore it thoroughly! Letting them go as deep as they want. One such subject that I used in my homeschool was the garden. The garden became a laboratory and outdoor classroom for them to learn in! You can find out more about how we did it: https://hiphomeschoolmoms.com/your-garden-is-an-outdoor-classroom/ Just click the link in our profile to go directly to this article. #followrabbittrails #interestledlearning #homeschool #365homeschool #learningcanbefun #curiosityisasuperpower #loveoflearning #homeschoollifestyle #sorryimlatetonight
#hiptips 9. Slow Down. . Every homeschooling mom struggles with wondering if what she is doing is enough. It just seems to be part of the homeschooling package. I’ve learned that most of the time I WAS doing enough…by simply providing a loving, secure home environment through daily routine/chores, etc, encouraging our kids along the way, and not trying to force too much book learning too early. When our kids see us rushing around, panicking and stressing about their education, what message are they getting? That learning is stressful? That it’s HARD? That it’s anything but FUN? . Homeschooling is a marathon, not a sprint. Pace yourself - Take time to savor each season. Let your heart slow down often to soak in this precious time with your kids. The days are long, but the years are short. Live them well. Together. Want to read more?
