homeschooling with a newborn 👩🏽‍🍼📓 When I was pre homeschooling with a newborn 👩🏽‍🍼📓

When I was pregnant, the thought of homeschooling with a newborn made me nervous. I didn’t know how I was going to balance my time. But by the grace of God, homeschooling and adjusting to the newborn stage has been going well. Our days are NOT perfect and some days are rough, but we’re getting it done! Here’s what has been helping us successfully homeschooling with a newborn:

🌸I’ve been using the Wild Bird baby wrap! Baby boy is comfy and sleep when he’s wrapped. So during that time I’m able to teach.

🌸we’re prioritizing reading and math for a couple months. Reading.com has been a great resource and we use The Good and the Beautiful curriculum for math. Also we keep the lessons short. 

🌸we took a couple weeks off from homeschooling to just focus on adjusting as a family of 5. Give yourself grace during this time. 

🌸we get outside daily for stroller walks. During this time I can review what we’re learning. Also getting outside has been so refreshing being postpartum! 

🌸 I have the mindset that this is just a short season of the newborn stage. Our homeschool days look different and that’s okay #postpartum #homeschoolmom #homeschoolmomlife
spring style #macystylecrew I’m 3 weeks postpart spring style #macystylecrew 

I’m 3 weeks postpartum and most days I’m in athletic wear or pajamas but today I’m switching things up! The weather is beautiful and I’m in the mood for a spring inspired look. I decided on this blue stripped dress and my perfume is by Elizabeth Arden. This floral scent is perfect for spring and smells so good. During this postpartum season, I’m finding happiness in the simple things like putting on a pretty dress and taking a walk outside with my baby.

Back to School Cleaning with Clorox

This post is sponsored by Clorox. The opinions and text are all mine.

Back-to-school time is here and this is one of my favorite times during the year! I always feel the need to organize, declutter, and clean to prepare for back-to-school time. I also love that with back-to-school time, there is more of a structured schedule with my day. I thrive best on a structured schedule. I always feel refreshed when I have a clean home. With the fall and cooler months approaching, it’s a top priority that I keep my home disinfected from viruses and bacteria. I love using Clorox Disinfecting Wipes! I feel a peace-of-mind when using the Clorox Disinfecting Wipes because I know my home is clean and disinfected.

Clorox at Publix

During the back to school season, I love to stock up on the Clorox Disinfecting Wipes at Publix. I typically do my grocery shopping every Sunday to prepare for the week. I always add a couple of canisters of Clorox Disinfecting Wipes to my cart along with all my groceries for the week. Publix has been one of my favorite grocery stores because they have so many great savings and their customer service is top notch. This makes going grocery shopping so much better, especially when I have my kids along with me. When I’m stocking up on Clorox Wipes, I love buying the different scents. My favorite is the Clorox Scentiva Disinfecting Wipes Pacific Breeze & Coconut 6 pack 75ct. I also love the Clorox Disinfecting Wipes Crisp Lemon 6 pack 75ct.

Weekly Cleaning Routine

During the back-to-school season, I love to establish a good weekly cleaning routine. During the fall and winter season, It’s important for me to make sure I disinfect my home. I’m a busy work-from-home mom, so I like to dedicate 1-2 rooms per day for cleaning. This also helps me so I’m not overwhelmed with trying to clean the whole house in a day. Clorox Disinfecting Wipes are so convenient when I’m cleaning my bathroom, countertops, doorknobs, etc. I love that these all-purpose cleaners disinfect multi surfaces, killing 99.9% of viruses and bacteria, when used as directed. Here is my weekly cleaning schedule below:

Monday: Bathrooms

Tuesday: Garage & Patio

Wednesday: Bedrooms

Thursday: Sunroom

Friday: Living room

Saturday: Kitchen/Dining Room

Sunday: Laundry Room

Gift Clorox Wipes to Teachers

It’s so important to show we appreciate teachers. They go above and beyond to make sure our children are learning. Teachers have been working extra hard within the last year with the transition of some students doing virtual learning and then going back to in-person learning. A great gift idea would be Clorox Wipes. I’m a former teacher and I would always love when my students would give me any type of cleaning supplies. With a classroom full of students, teachers are always disinfecting and cleaning their class. Clorox Disinfecting Wipes are Teacher’s #1 Wipe (based on TeacherLists, the leading platform for K-12 school supply lists in the US). As a way to show you appreciate your child’s teacher, you can also add a nice note along with the Clorox Disinfectant Wipes. I also love to give my children’s teacher gifts periodically throughout the school year.


I hope this blog post was helpful as we enter the back to school season! Also, be sure to check out my blog post on Back to School Guide: How to Prepare for the School Year

XO,

Ashley
