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

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.

Protect your home with radon testing #radon #ad Protect your home with radon testing #radon 

#ad I’ve been a homeowner for 10 years! This is where so many memories have been made with my family. We are also a homeschool family, so lots of our days are spent at home. Something I didn’t know when we bought our home is that radon testing should be done before purchasing. Radon is a naturally occurring gas that’s harmful. Over time, breathing in high levels of radon can be harmful to your lungs. So we’ve been taking steps to make sure our home is protected. At-home radon testing kits are affordable and easy to use. Protecting your home means protecting the people you love. 

If you’re a homeowner or will be buying a home soon, make sure to test your home for radon! @lungassociation You can also get more information at lung.org with the American Lung Association
dining room refresh with @homerilla_official Spr dining room refresh with @homerilla_official 

Spring is right around the corner and I love finding ways to give the rooms my home a simple refresh.  The natural sunlight is so beautiful in my dining room. These linen blend curtains from Homerilla really elevate the dining room. The color is ivory white which is the perfect neutral blend and the quality is amazing! Having some tea early in the morning is my favorite way to start my mornings.
