Good morning !

We went from green grass and buds on the trees to a good dumping of snow last night. This weather is a contributing factor to why homeschool parents feel burnt out in February. And why parents are feeling the need to get away for their homeschoolers.

I take a look at your day, and your week. I get up an hour earlier than my kids. I workout and drink so coffee without being interrupted. I recommend this to everyone! That time to wake up on my own terms and have that alone time sets the tone to my whole day.

Trying to take time in the evening to unwind is important too, though I find reading or watching TV in bed is about all I have the energy for in the evening.

Do you have someone that you can switch off childcare with? A friend that would also like some time alone? A friend that you can trade off watching each others kids once a week, or every other week, might give you the break that you need.

If not, finding a babysitter or mother's helper might be the answer to what you need. Don't feel bad about doing something for yourself, in the long run it will be beneficial for your children.

Make sure you are following along with our homeschool life on Facebook and Instagram. This is where I share the everyday stuff.

I have been updating my Amazon Shop, all the great things that we use in our homeschool so make sure you check that out.

Have a great day!
