31 - Homeschooling Through the Holidays: 7 Steps to Streamline Your Homeschool Now

Simple is the New Smart with Zara Fagen, PhD

How do we homeschool through the holidays without feeling like we are spread too thin, or falling short? Today, Let's cover a simple, 7-step plan that will put our homeschool on autopilot and create an intentional holiday season!

You don't have to schedule every detail of every homeschool day. And, you don't even have to schedule all the bonus, extra, and fun stuff. Why? Because life always provides the "extra." Your job is to just make time for it!

Play-do, Christmas crafts, Thank You cards, Baking, Service Project, Learning Songs, Watching or Reading Holiday Classics, Playing Games, Religious Events, Quiet Time to Read... Do any of these sound like things you may just want to do on a whim this season? Great! Let' make time for it (without turning our schedules into a 1000-piece puzzle)!

Space and flexibility are the name of this game. No more bucket lists that you never get to. Are you ready to homeschool through the holidays? Let's do this!
