If school or curriculum isn't working for your kids anymore, unschooling is an option I want you to know about. Don't dump more money into yet another curriculum suggestion that's going to gather dust or cause power struggles. You home life can be so much better than that!

This Unschooling Mom2Mom Podcast will help you understand a little more.

Learning to unschool can be scary - and it's not unusual for parents to hang onto "a little curriculum" for certain subjects. Usually, it's the ones we don't feel that comfortable with. And why is that? Maybe it's simple preferences - but maybe it's because of the way schools taught us!
This week, I want to encourage you to examine your ideas about subjects BEFORE you throw money at curriculum for the upcoming months. Let's help you SEE that learning is happening all around - you don't need to check boxes for certain topics/subjects. And if that makes you too uneasy, let's check boxes based on the kids' interests!
I have a lot of resources to help you do that in my membership group. And remember that Podcast listeners can join without the $99 sign up fee using this link:

Parents worry all the time about whether their kids are on their devices too much. Our childhoods certainly weren't like this - and now that the kids are home all the time, that can seem like a LOT of time on technology.

So what do we do?

Unschoolers don't have to skip out on the fun that Valentine's Day can bring.
I know, it's Hallmark Celebration... and lots of people are not big fans. But you kids might enjoy some aspects of it - and I've pulled together 10 activities your family might like to try.

• Science Projects
• Party food ideas
• Jokes/Riddles
• Arts & Crafts
• Videos
• Love Languages
• TONS of MEMES - some would be so fun to text to your big kids!

Unschooling is about connecting with our kids. It’s going to give you insight into what they need from you. And it’s not that hard to sparkle up their lives, so they’re excited to learn about new things and grow their own VERY individualized pile of knowledge and experience.

We don’t have a crystal ball, we don’t know how their lives will twist and pivot in the years to come. But living with them, fully experiencing life in a way that is expansive and adventurous - that’s so much better than the one size fits all learning or "finish your lessons" before you get around to the fun stuff.
Real life is full of lessons. You just have to notice them - and dive in.

I hope this helps you have a great Valentine’s day with your kids. ❤︎
