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.

#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.

Winter Snack Board Ideas for Kids

My kids are always asking for snacks. I think most moms can relate to their kids constantly asking for snacks throughout the day. Recently, I started creating fun snack boards for my kids and it was a big hit. My kids loved it. Then I started to incorporate a fun activity along with the snack boards. The winter season is here so we’ll be spending a lot of time inside. Here are some fun snack board ideas for kids during the winter months. 


Hot Cocoa and Cookie Bar

My kids love hot cocoa and cookies. So I decided to have them decorate their own gingerbread cookies and then make their own hot cocoa. I bought everything from Target, Tj Maxx, and Walmart.

What You Need

Gingerbread man cookies

Sprinkles

Assortment of marshmallows

Hot cocoa spoons 

Kid friendly mugs

Chocolate spoons 

Peppermint and chocolate stirrer sticks

Sistema containers to store everything 


Cookies and Coloring

I found this winter coloring tablecloth and I knew the kids would love it. Also, I love using coloring tablecloths anytime I do snack boards because that’s an easy activity the kids can do while they eat their snacks. I bought everything from Target and Walmart.

What you Need

Winter themed cookies

Marshmallows

Sprinkles

Crayons

Coloring tablecloth

Sistema containers to store everything 


Fruit Santa Hats

Sometimes I like to add in some healthy snack options for my kids. For the activity my kids made santa hats out of fruit and wrote letters to Santa. I bought everything from Target, Marshalls, and TJ Maxx.

What you need

Strawberries

Bananas

Small marshmallow

Rice krispy treats

Macaroons

Toothpicks

snowflake plates

Letters to santa kit

Marshmallows

White chocolate pretzels


Winter Wonderland Snowmen 

My kids and I love ice cream cake so we created a winter wonderland. The Oreo Ice cream cake from I Love Ice Cream was perfect. For the activity we created marshmallow snowmen and added snow sprinkles to the ice cream cake.

What you Need

Oreo Ice Cream Cake

Big size marshmallows

Toothpicks

Snowflake Sprinkles

Small chocolate kisses

Pretzels


I hope you were inspired to do some of these snack board ideas for kids and activities during winter with your kids. Be sure to check out 30 Screen Free Activities for Kids during Winter Break.
