Homeschooling isn’t one-size-fits-all—trust me, I know! With a teenager, a tween, and a toddler at home, I’ve had to adapt my approach at every stage. What works for my two-year-old definitely doesn’t work for my 13-year-old, and finding the right balance has been a learning process for all of us.

The truth is, reducing screen time doesn’t have to mean boring afternoons or constant complaints. These ideas are fun, educational, and easy to set up—perfect for busy homeschool moms who need a quick win.

One of our favorite traditions is setting up a leprechaun door. The week leading up to St. Patrick’s Day, we put out a tiny door, sprinkle some “gold dust” (gold glitter or confetti), and let the excitement build. Every day, the kids wake up to find signs that a mischievous leprechaun has come through—little green footprints, fun educational activities/scavenger hunts, or even a tiny and encouraging note left behind. It’s a simple but memorable way to create a little holiday magic.

As a homeschool mom, I’m always on the lookout for places that aren’t just beautiful but also offer opportunities for learning, exploring, and creating memories as a family. And let me tell you—Singapore is a homeschooler’s dream!
