January is already over and it was filled with so many amazing things! Usually our transition back to school after Winter Break is a hard one but this year I decided to try some new things. Rather than jump back into our regular schedule, I slowly added things as I do and we start our school year. This gave us the opportunity to slowly transition back to our schedule especially because we had a lot of new things happen over the break. Doing this was appreciated by everyone in our household and made this month all the more enjoyable.
2019 is off to an adventurous start as my husband’s new position caused us to adjust our school schedule. One of my favorite parts about homeschooling is flexibility so I’m glad that I was able to apply those principles and create a system that works for our family. This year I decided to continue our celebration of fun and silly holidays. So far we have celebrated National Cuddle Up Day, National Sticker Day, National Chocolate Cake Day, and National Spaghetti Day. I also opted to update the blog name (#MMMHblog) and start an official Marriage, Motherhood, Makeup, & Homeschool Facebook Page. **likes are appreciated**
