Today is one of those days that I am so thankful we live so far out! Being rural has so many challenges... the internet is atrocious, grocery stores only have the basics (not to mention they are 35 minutes away), no pizza delivery (yes, we miss it), lack of healthcare even remotely close, and many other reasons I won’t list.... but the good has always outweighed the challenges! ⁣ ⁣ Always. 💯⁣ ⁣ Today, my oldest college kid has his college friends here and they are out roaming our woods. 🌳🍃🌿 Exploring, investigating, and just seeing what they see out there. 👀⁣ ⁣ ❤️ How cool is that, y’all? How many college kids even want to be at home, number 1️⃣? But to bring their friends home is even better! ⁣ ⁣ 📆 Disclaimer here, there was a change of plans ... their original ones fell through so we became an unexpected Plan 🅱️ because they were already here and it was 10:00 at night. But, last night they built a campfire, 🔥marveled at how many stars ⭐️💫🌟✨ they could see without light pollution, made s’mores 🍫 and watched movies! 🎬 And today they didn’t just pack up and head out... they slept in 😴, ate breakfast 🥞, and now are wandering the property. So I’m still calling this a #homeschoolwin even if we were Plan 🅱️!⁣ ⁣ Where are you on your #parentingjourney? As you can tell, I’m knocking on the door of the #emptynest and #dreadingit 😩😳😬⁣ ⁣ #hiphomeschoolmoms #365homeschool #ruralamerica #farmschooling #collegekids #smalltownliving #lagrangetn #westtn #tinytown #life360 ⁣ If you are wondering what this product is that shows me where they are, it is @life360. We got this when we were traveling so much and speaking at these huge convention hotels. The boys were not always with me, so I wanted a way to know they were still in the vicinity!
Caption This! ⁣ ⁣ How is your morning starting out? We asked the moms in our Facebook community to share with us some funny homeschooling pictures from last week... this was one! We have some great captions in the group but we wanted to get you guys in on the fun! ⁣ ⁣ #homeschoolmorning ⁣ #hiphomeschoolmoms ⁣ #365homeschool⁣ #homeschoollifestyle⁣ #roughmorning
Who has teenagers? When you have teenagers (and a college kiddo) and they will hangout at home with their friends playing cards ... I consider that a win! And look, they are actually socializing! 😆😍👀 #homeschoolteens #hiphomeschoolmoms #365homeschool #socializing #homeschoolwin
HipTips #61. Don't Give Up Your Dreams. . What are you dreaming of doing? Of starting? What makes your heart sing, your mind wander, and your heart race? Do you think homeschooling killed that dream? Nope! Not even close. Choosing to homeschool does not mean a death sentence to your dreams. It doesn't even have to be a side trip! You can bring your children along for the ride. Let them see your passion and ambition. Your hard work, your blood, sweat, and tears. Let them be a part of this magical experience of birthing an idea and nurturing it into existence. After all, this is exactly what we want for our children, right? To love what they are doing for a living so much, they wake up and leap out of bed to get to it. . Follow your dreams, mama. Your children will be inspired! #homeschool #365homeschool #dreambig #workhard #homeschooling #homeschoollifestyle #workinghomeschoolmoms #homeschoolworkingmom #wahm

#HipTips #60. Manage the Clutter. . One of the biggest problems that #homeschooling families face is how to keep the house clean. Living in a space constantly, particularly with little kids around, makes it a challenge to keep things clean. We’ve found that the following six strategies have really helped us keep on top of the clutter at our house. If you try them, you may be able to keep your house clean while homschooling, too! 1. 5-Minute Pickup 2. Designated Cleaning Times 3. Chore Charts 4. Clutter Removal 5. Organize and 6. Clean as you go. .

#HipTips #59. Buy Used Curriculum. . When you are first starting to homeschool, you really don't know what curriculum you and your children will love! No matter how many homeschool style quizzes you take, you will still end up changing some curriculum that just didn't work. I always encourage moms to buy used or borrow from a friend, if you can,and try it for a semester. See if it works. If you fall in love with it and you want to purchase new, you can later. But I always look for used first for textbooks and workbooks! There is just no reason for us to spend the extra money for new.
