Being a homeschool parent can be incredibly exhausting and overwhelming, but of course, if you’ve homeschooled your children for any length of time, you probably already knew that.
Not only are you their parent, you’re also their teacher and with that comes the responsibility of figuring out what to teach them, how to teach it so that each child learns, and planning and tracking those lessons so that you can keep a record for your state if they require one. It’s impossible to do it all completely by yourself.
Fortunately, there are some fantastic homeschool bloggers out there who are not only amazing sources of wisdom when it comes to teaching your children at home, but their blogs are often overflowing with information, lessons, and activities that are already laid out for you!
From lapbooks and curriculum recommendations to book lists and free printables, these 10 bloggers cover just about every homeschooling topic you can imagine and should definitely make the top of your “must read” list!
