Our next live online Q&A is all about meal planning!
Join me tomorrow, Monday at 8:30 pm eastern when we talk all about how to meal plan on a tight budget.
One of the best ways to cut your grocery budget (and eat healthier) is to meal plan. Let’s chat about all the ways to help you meal plan quickly plus how to kick up a notch and freezer cook too!
Feel free to join in with any questions you have (on or off topic).
You can watch directly on facebook or head to Southern Savers on Monday night and the video will be at the top of the page.
Because of all that has happened in the last 6 months, some parents are looking ahead to the fall and making changes to how they educate their kids.
While some parents are opting out of sending their kids to school and taking advantage of virtual learning options through their schools, other parents are choosing to start homeschooling. If you’re just now making this decision, it may feel overwhelming to get things in order before the fall. I wanted to share some helpful resources if you’ve decided to start homeschooling.
The flexibility of homeschooling is one of the best parts about it, so if you start a few weeks later than the kids going to regular school, it’s no big deal.
How to Start Homeschooling
While there are so many options when it comes to homeschooling, there are a few things you definitely need to do first.
Find out the laws in your state regarding homeschooling
The Homeschooling Legal Defense Association maintains a website where you can quickly see what kinds of things are required in your state. For example, some states require certain kinds of testing, while other states vary in guidelines for who is allowed to homeschool your kids.
You may need to complete the process of withdrawing your child from public school if they are already attending, so make sure you research that if it applies.
In some states, there are groups that offer accountability options. You may not be required to join one of these organizations, but it might be helpful if this is your first year as they can help guide you through the unfamiliar parts of how to start homeschooling your child(ren).
Look for homeschool co-ops and/or organizations and extracurriculars
Even if you don’t decide to join a homeschool accountability group, there are homeschool co-ops and organizations that provide opportunities for group activities, extracurriculars, and joint learning. Homeschool Classifieds or The Homeschool Mom are a great place to start.
