Do you walk into your kid's room after they said they cleaned it and can barely take a step without stepping on 5 things?!
A few years ago it was like that for us, until we implemented a simple system to keep the clutter away. And when the clutter starts to creep back, this system is designed for you to catch it and take care of it before it becomes overwhelming.

Ok, let's be real! Our "Normal" homeschool day has changed over the years.
> It started with having a strict schedule and Curriculum for each subject.
>Then evolved into simplifying our Curriculum to Books for the main subjects and learning how to leverage other courses & classes to help me teach.
> Now I learned to integrate homeschool into our lifestyle.
So here's my tips to help you envision if homeschooling will fit into your life.

My 39th birthday is coming up & as I reflect upon my 20s & 30s, I had a moment where I felt ashamed of doing so much in my life, having so many interests, wanting to try a "new thing".
I've been told, "Why can't you just stick to something for 30 years?"... OR "You're doing something NEW again?"
I had my own moment of self-doubt and shaming myself. Until I flipped the script to: "I love how I'm able to experience SO much in my life"
In this episode, my hope is to inspire you to do the same.

Hawaiian History was what I was raised in, with a Sprinkle of US History in High school
Now as a Homeschooler,- especially moving to the Mainland, I realized that what's more important at this point (elementary) is learning about THEIR Culture, Ethnicity and the History of their Ancestors.
Here's How you Can Start with your own Kids.
