A Day in The Life of a Homeschooler

Eeks, that really varies depending on week of the month and day of the week. Let me explain. We are in a Co-op that I am running the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Friday afternoons of the month. We are also part of a group that has monthly gym days and field trips along with Mom’s Encouragement Nights.  Then there’s always a free nature activity or other freebie event that we may decide to attend on a whim or plan in advance.  On top of all that is college classes for Dad AND Mom as well as ballet and art classes.  Not sure if we will do an AWANA program this year or not.  Also thinking about checking out 4-H!
