This post isn't about what home education looks like for all families of color, but what it looks like for our family.  When we started home schooling,  I knew only one other home educator, and she is my cousin.  I learned in the early years of teaching my daughters that even people who come from the same family will have different reasons and goals for taking on the task of home schooling.

There is one thing about home education that is true, for sure.  You may have heard it a million times if you have been in the vicinity of veteran home educating parents or have read a few blogs.  You may not have heard it explicitly, but if you read between the lines I am sure you have ran across this truth.  What is this truth? 

Historical fiction books are a great addition to any child's bookshelf.  I am sharing three books we have all enjoyed whether it was read aloud or alone.

I haven't figured out how to home school for free. Since the beginning we have spent money on materials for our daughters' education.  Some years we spend more while other years we have spent less.  Homeschooling can cost as much or as little as you need it.

Over the past few months, I have been intentional in finding joy in everyday moments including those moments occurring during our prime learning hours.

When we first started our home school journey in our house, we home schooled in our kitchen.  I loved it.  We had big windows that brought in lots of sunlight.  We moved to a room because I had collected too much stuff.  Being back in a smaller space has really helped me to be efficient and prioritize the girls’ needs.  Homeschooling in a small space isn’t too bad.
