Spring Into Learning: The Best Homeschool Resources for April
The excitement of a new homeschool year in the fall has long faded, and summer break isn’t quite here yet. Spring can feel like an in-between season, where motivation dips and routines start to feel stale. But it’s also a time of renewal—both in nature and in our homeschools.
Weekly Substack Homeschool Support: Finding Your Rhythm for a Stronger Spring
Homeschooling is a journey filled with seasons—some vibrant and full of energy, others where motivation wanes and doubt creeps in. If you’re feeling the weight of lesson planning, second-guessing your choices, or just needing fresh ideas to keep things engaging, I want you to know: that you don’t have to do this alone.
Adapting Homeschool Strategies for Every Age
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.
Screen-Free Learning Activities That Actually Work
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.
the Magic of St. Patrick’s Day: How to bring it into Your Homeschool
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.

Afternoon Tea and Poetry—A Cozy Ritual for Learning and Connection
Picture this—a warm cup of tea (or hot chocolate, if we’re being honest), a stack of poetry books, and a cozy blanket. Your kids are curled up nearby, giggling at a funny rhyme or sharing a poem they wrote. Sounds magical, right? That’s the beauty of Poetry Teatime

Finding Home Away from Home: Our Stay at Fraser Suites Singapore
It’s not often that we find a place that feels just as tailored for kids as it does for adults, but Fraser Suites really nailed it. The indoor children’s playground was a hit right from the start. With soft play areas and plenty of space for climbing, it was a perfect place for our little ones to burn off some energy. And on those days when we felt like getting some fresh air, the outdoor playground was just a short stroll away, ready for even more fun.

Why Poetry Matters for Kids (and How to Make It Fun!)
Poetry often gets a bad rap. Somewhere along the way, it became that thing people either loved or hated in English class. But the truth is, that poetry isn’t just for literature lovers or rhyme enthusiasts. It’s for kids. All kids! And it’s one of the most powerful tools we can use to help them grow into thoughtful, creative, and confident learners.

Winter Homeschool Curriculum Ideas: Preparing for Seasonal Transitions in Your Homeschool
This time of year is often seen as a bridge between the vibrant autumn and the serene, snowy days of winter. This natural shift can be felt in many areas of our lives: the weather becomes chillier, the daylight fades earlier, and the atmosphere seems to call for cozy blankets, hot cocoa, and more time indoors. For homeschooling families, embracing this transition means being attuned to these changes and allowing our routines and curriculum to reflect the season.
