You know, with school being back in, I am realizing just how terribly I'm going to miss summer. Summer is my absolute favorite for numerous reasons...firstly, no cold. I'm cold natured anyway and winter is brutal. And #2: the sun! Winter has no sun at all. It's a mix between overcast and night and it's de-press-ing! Aww woe is me. Sweet summer, I am going to miss you!
BIIIIG change for the Blincoe household....
This school year is going to be a little different for us, too. We've decided to homeschool our youngest. She's heading to our basement kindergarten and I thought it'd be the easiest to figure out if this is the right choice for our family. We didn't send her to preschool because I worked with her and she is now a grade level ahead. We've got an entire classroom set up and have all the classroom materials we need. But as kindergarten marks the first year of "real" school, I'm feeling pressure. Each of my children have different struggles with school and ideally I'd like to homeschool them all but I think I need an "easy" year under my belt to decide if it's going to be beneficial for all of them and whether to continue. Any of you moms homeschoolers? Or have any great online resources? I've been stalking Pinterest like nobodies business and I have found some great ideas but I am still completely intimidated. If I'm just using workbooks without any hands-on "creativity" I might as well send them to school! Our entire purpose is to provide them resources and experiences traditional school just can't give them. It's as much a learning experience for me as it is for her! Preschool was one thing but now we're heading into the big leagues! Trust me, this isn't the last you'll hear of our homeschooling adventures...

This shirt is cut like no other I have ever had. When I got it, I knew I would have to be very careful how to style it because it could become frumpy in a hot minute. I think I chose well...even if these legs never got the color they so desperately needed this season. Ah well, there is always next year!

That's awesome that you're going to try homeschooling, I hope it works out for you all! And I love this look, especially the shirt, but I can see what you mean by "it can get frumpy" -but don't worry, you look amazing with those legs for days haha!

Stunning top and right on with the styling! Sorry don't home school but good luck. You are giving an amazing thing a go for your family - I try my best to supplement school with awesome everyday learning at home but can't imagine the effort that full time takes. You are super brave!

ReplyDeleteI'm in my seventh year of homeschooling my four boys and still loving it! Just take it one day at a time, don't be afraid to change something if it doesn't work, and don't do everything you see on Pinterest. ;)

I am so going to miss summer when it's gone as well, but I'm lucky enough to live in one of the sunniest places on earth and we can usually go swimming well into October. :)
ReplyDeleteI wish you all the best with your homeschooling journey and I look forward to reading all about it. My twins are going to the school across the street for Kindergarten this year, but I will be doing pre-k at home with their younger brother.
Hope to hear more from you soon!
