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!

This week's homeschooling story is from Sarah Pellegrini. Read about her story about how homeschooling was suggested as an alternative to public for her son who was diagnosed with  Dyslexia, ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorder, Anxiety and OCD and how it became the best option for their family. 

This week's homeschooling story is from Stephanie Cass. Read her story about how she never intended on homeschooling her three boys but she felt her heart pulling her to do so. 

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? 

These posts are to encourage you along your homeschooling journey, share experiences and connect with other homeschooling moms all over the world. This week's homeschooling story is from Ruthie. Read below to hear her story about how she's learning to teach both of her boys who have two completely different learning styles and find freedom in being able to teach them from home.
