Homeschooling Community 

I've set up a space on facebook where homeschooling mamas can come together and share experiences, resources, and support each other as we navigate teaching our children at home. It's meant to be a little community for all -- experienced homeschoolers, new homeschoolers and people who are thinking about + are curious about homeschooling. so, if any of that applies to you -- come, join us. all are welcome.

Educational Small Shops We Use + Love

I love sharing with y'all and talking about all the things that we use in our classroom! In addition to linking the small shops in my Instagram posts and in several blog posts, I've also compiled a master list of products we use from small shops down below. I'll update this list periodically / when we add new items to our classroom, so keep an eye on this page. 

As always, I want to place a little disclaimer here saying that some of these products were gifted and some links are affiliate links. There is no pressure to buy anything through these links, but if you do, just know that I reaaaaaally appreciate the support and so does my little crew.
