Have you hit a homeschool burn out? I have… Over the last few years I have overbooked myself and my children, and we are just plain exhausted. After a rough year I decided it was time to make some big changes. I crossed off all the extra things in our life that were burning us out, and I couldn’t be happier! Check out my {Guest Post} Keeping the Home in Homeschooling: 3 Reasons I Said No to Outside Activities to find out why this change might be right for your family too.
Sneak Peak…
More is more. Or is it?
We live in a world where people are always on the go. There are so many things to do and not enough time in the day to get it all done. As homeschool parents it is easy to get caught up in this hustle and bustle, especially with people constantly asking us, “What about socialization?”
I fell victim to the “more is more” mentality, and said yes to everything my children showed any interest in because I didn’t want them to miss out. Before I knew it, we had a commitment every single week day, and sometimes even on the weekends. It got to the point where we were all exhausted, and my children were no longer enjoying any of it.
So this year I am saying no and staying home. We are saying goodbye to outside activities and hello to our freedom!

Sometimes taking a step back and staying home is just what a homeschool needs.
