Welcome!

I'm a wife to my "Mr. Right". A momma of five. A maker of slow food and simple living. A collector of memories, a keeper of books, and a champion for books that make memories. An addict who likes my half-and-half with a splash of coffee. A fractured pot transformed by the One Who makes broken things beautiful. I heart homeschooling, brake for libraries, and am glad you're here with me on the journey! Be sure to subscribe to my monthly newsletter.

Tot School

If your household is anything like ours at The Unlikely Homeschool, you probably have at least one little Tot desiring to be apart of the homeschool "fun" each day. At times, I need an encouraging reminder to make a conscious effort to include a little Tot school into our schedule. In reality, although I definitely embrace my ministry calling to homeschool my children, I can not let that get in the way of my first and most important ministry...motherhood. In the busyness of teaching pronouns and times tables, I never want to view my littlest of Littles as a nuisance or pre-occupation. Some intentional effort on my part to include him at the "school table" goes a long way to bolster our relationship as well as secure some sanity to our day.

During the 2011-2012 school year, I put together a series called Tuesday's Tot Trio. Every Tuesday, showed Greased Lightning, my then two-year-old tot, introducing three toddler friendly and BUDGET friendly "school" activities. And here are ALL 15 in one convenient spot!
