We are excited to feature Big Life Journal on our blog and would like to offer you a chance to win a $50.00 gift card to Big Life Journal, a $50.00 gift card to our shop Habitat Schoolhouse as well as a few other goodies!

Because we wanted to put the finishing touches on the curriculum and it took a little longer than anticipated, we weren't able to get the physical copies ready in time for you to start your school year in September. We know many of you have been anxiously waiting for the physical copy but want to start the school year right now in September. SO, we want to give you two months of lessons for free so that you can get started with our lessons right away and begin your new school year. This way you can work through the lessons while your physical copy is being printed and shipped then continue on once your physical copy arrives.

As I began writing this blog post we took a family trip to Seattle. Our last trip as the three of us before baby number two arrives in a few short months. I brought along the book Simplicity Parenting by Kim John Payne, which has quickly become a new favourite. It addresses slowing your life down and simplifying your parenting. Which ended up being the perfect lesson I needed to learn on this trip. 

September 2nd marks five full months for Habitat Schoolhouse. This month we hit a ton of goals that I am so excited to share with you!

One of the most important things I can teach my children is to be kind to others. Kindness above all else is what I believe will make an impact in this world. Wouldn't it be great if the foundation we helped build created caring, empathetic, and kind human beings? Because that's what the world truly needs. How do we help our children grow up to be the kind generation of the future? 

Today, August 2nd marks four full months for Habitat Schoolhouse. This month has been so great for learning a lot about how business works and networking with a few fantastic other businesses in a similar homeschooling niche.  I love looking back and comparing last month to this month. As last month we hit 600 sales in total since the start of May and now we're closing in on 1 thousand sales!
