As a homeschool mom of 5 kids and someone who was homeschooled herself, I'm here to tell you that this IS possible, not just to survive, but to thrive!
These are my top tips, my top hacks. It is less about organization and things to buy and more about your mindset and perspective. Things like blending your kids, teaching a large family, letting go of the idea that you have to do it all, the comparison trap, and more!
We'll talk about homeschooling on a budget and money saving hacks, time saving hacks, and homeschool strategies that can help make your day run a little bit smoother.

As a 30-year home schooling mom of 6 (only one 13-year-old to go), I can verify every hack you talk about here (many of them learned the hard way). It's easy to forget that home "educating" is not school; it's a lifestyle, and it pays huge dividends well beyond academics. Thank you for all your great tips. Enjoy the journey!

Thank you so much for this! We are pulling our kids out of public school next school year and I’m so nervous about this - but also really excited! I saved this video because I think I’ll need to reference it often 😅

Using the internet ... you are talking to the choir!!! No but seriously, my son loves geography and mapping and I always get lost even with GPS. So he literal sit in the car with my phone (or not) and gives me directions. That’s utilizing my kids! 😊❤️

THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! Perfect timing for some extra motivation as we try to press on with wrapping up the school year AND planning for next! Then we will have an 8th grader, a 6th grader, a 3rd grader, a 1st grader, a preschooler and a 1 year old!!!! Whew!! Exciting times! I'll have to rewatch this video when I feel the overwhelm creeping in. :) Thanks again!

New Homeschool mama here and I loved these hacks. We are part of a coop and blending is something they do there and it's so helpful. School in pajamas is a regular thing for us also. Thanks for sharing! ❤️

Great ideas! We will be starting our first year of homeschooling late this summer. I have a 3, almost 4 yo and an almost 8 yo. I am thankful for homeschooling mommas on YouTube, like yourself, who are helping us launch on this journey!! 👍

Thank you, new subby! Been doing this for 3 years but still trying to figure it out. Some of this I learned the hard way like blending the kids, utilizing them, and switching up the environment. I really appreciate these tips. With 4 kids it can get crazy.

I am homeschooling 4 ranging from 7 to 13 and I have my days of worrying if I'm doing enough...if I'm doing my children justice...if I'm missing something that I should be doing. But watching this I realized I do all of the things in your list! Pat on the back! Sometimes it's hard and some days you need that little boost of confidence. Thank you!!! Time to take on a new day!!
