If you are feeling overwhelmed with the thought of homeschooling high school or if you are starting to doubt your ability to teach it, you are not alone.

Certainly, teachers deserve our kudos and respect but sometimes - for whatever reason - "normal" school situations just aren't right for our families.

The HomeScholar Gold Care Club was created specifically for all of us who want to keep going in spite of wondering if we're good enough, smart enough, brave enough to go for the brass ring of homeschooling: homeschool high school graduation.

Have fun and stay safe,

Have you ever wanted to learn Spanish but thought it would be too hard or too boring?

Well now you have a chance to learn how to speak, read, write and understand Spanish, Webmom-style!

You know that wherever we are, there's bound to be something fun and educational. =)

Webmom grew up speaking Spanish. She worked hard to lose her "white girl" accent and make her Abuelita proud.

How often do we procrastinate by thinking "I can't do this right now, it's not quite right". Something is missing.

Whether we know what that something is or not, we feel that without that something, it won't be a perfect or complete work.

Nothing is perfect though. If we wait for something to be "just right", we might be waiting for a long, long time and never reach our goal.

Make A Plan, Map Your Goals

Wanting to do our best is a great thing and sometimes we do have to wait for something. When it is part of a plan, with recognizable steps, we've taken control of that elusive something. We're getting a degree, publishing an article, starting a business. Whatever it is we want to do.

Without a plan - written or not - we're bogging ourselves down in wannabe-perfection. Spinning our wheels with goals, dreams and no plan of action.

In every case, a well thought-out action is better than none.

When you find yourself saying "I can't do this right now, it's not quite right", make a plan. Map your goals and take at least one baby step forward every day.

Technorati says we have to include a weird code in a new post to claim this as "ours". So, here you go Technorati: 6G5WKW3B6SV2.

With live classes, homework AND working from home, sometimes we don't have enough time to cook something healthy.

Other times, we're tired or have chores to do and feel stressed out.

Our solution is to prepare pack and prepare lunches and snacks!

Freezer safe, quart-sized Ziplock bags hold both individual and meal-sized entrees for our household (3 people). A couple of them are stored in our "sandwich stuff" drawer in the refrigerator. The rest go into the freezer for use as frozen lunches or dinners later on during the week (or month).

From now on, you'll be able to find some of our favorite, totally simple, healthy and definitely delicious menu ideas under "Kids In The Kitchen".

Make sure to check back often or sign up for our Newsletter to get the week-in-review every Sunday morning. =)

Have fun and stay safe,
