Stephanie Walmsley began her homeschool journey back in 1985, a few years before we began our own homeschool journey. In her conversational, concise style of writing she provides many tips and suggestions for being successful in your home educating.


Even though we are finishing up our 18th year of homeschooling, I am still able to learn things from Successful Homeschooling Made Easy.


Before even setting up a schedule, we had to determine what time of day we concentrate better for academic learning. That gets tricky, sometimes. My youngest and I are "morning people." The teenager prefers getting up a bit later. When my oldest two were still homeschooling, I guess I can say they definitely preferred afternoon!


I really liked her suggestions for filling in the schedule, writing in meals and meal prep time, breaks, etc. I especially liked her terms for the language arts (Literacy Hour) and mathematics (Numeracy Hour). Later you will add in history and science, even the fine arts.


Another aspect I appreciate is her encouragement for mom to take care of herself. Take time to work on your own hobbies, self-education, something you are keenly interested in doing or learning. What might that be, in your life? Taking music lessons? Preparing for a marathon? Photography classes? Quilting? Hiking the Appalachian Trail, or running in the Iditarod? Learning to fly a plane? Take some time to dust off your dreams and desires, and fit one in to your life now.


Since I wish something like this were available when I began homeschooling my kids, I certainly would recommend a new homeschooler to subscribe to this course. It will make your initiation that much smoother, and less overwhelming.
