The Out-of-Doors Mama

Homeschooling mom of two in Alaska. Exploring nature, outdoor adventures, and Charlotte Mason-inspired learning. Sharing motherhood, education, and life in the wild beauty of rural Alaska. I write when I’m inspired, usually by nature🌿📖✨

Here’s the truth about homeschooling.

Sometimes we have bad days because homeschooling is just….life. That doesn’t mean academics are our life, but rather that we are living life together and academics is a very small part of it, but learning is in every part of life.

My kids are learning to regulate their emotions, how to play kindly with each other, responsibility, life skills, how to take care of our home and themselves, and how to listen and respect their parents. But they aren’t the only ones learning my journey through it all contributes to my growth as well.
