Our New Homeschool Room

June 4, 2019

After a few months of settling in, we have our farmhouse inspired homeschool room setup! Before we moved, my past homeschool setup was in my dining room due to our living arrangements but now that we have more space we decided to make a separate area for our homeschool room. Our homeschool area in our basement and although the basement is not a huge space, it’s perfect for our homeschool needs. Our homeschool room is actually one of my favorite spaces in our home. I often find myself going down here just for some peace and quiet.Farmhouse inspired

 

Funny fact (now), two days after we had our basement renovated it flooded which ruined the new floor! This put a delay on setting things up down here but we were able to get the floor replaced with different waterproof flooring.

We have two bookshelves that holds all of our homeschool curriculum that is not in use, supplies, and the majority of our kid books.

We have a love seat on the side where all the bookshelves are so that we can have a comfy area to read in.

We are currently using our old dining room table. I personally like it when we are sitting together when doing school work because I feel like I can help everyone out a bit easier but I am thinking about adding a couple desks. We also do a lot of our studies in the dining room when we need more space, which is super convenient since the basement is right off of the dining room.

On our fireplace, I have two bins that hold our daily/ used most often homeschool books. Having the stuff in these bins help make our school books easier to transport.

On the other side, I have Ikea cubbies that hold things that are meant to keep the toddler and baby occupied (which the majority of the time they don’t) like toys and baby books. I also keep my printer, some school supplies, and our Math U See blocks over here.

We recently decided to make one wall a giant chalkboard wall which has been a very fun addition to our homeschool room. I’ve always wanted to try having a chalkboard wall/ experiment with chalkboard paint and finally decided to go for it.

So far I love our new homeschool room. Finishing up our schoolroom is on my summer to-do list, I still have a lot of stuff I would like to add and need to organize things better. I will give you all an update before the fall starts.

Before moving, I wouldn’t say I was necessarily against homeschool classrooms but I never really wanted one. Since deciding to have one in our new home, I have found that even if we are doing our school work in other places half the time it so handy to have a designated room that holds all of our homeschool stuff.

Do you have a homeschool room, what are some must haves for a learning space? Comment below with how you have your learning space(s) set up.

3 years ago today, I received the devastating news 3 years ago today, I received the devastating news that we lost our baby at my 9-week prenatal appointment. I remember the doctor being so nonchalant about it and me feeling so confused and in such disbelief. The whole process of the miscarriage was completely frustrating. I was angry at my body because it wasn't doing anything. I remember a couple of weeks later as I was waiting to be taken back for a d&c being in such despair that I would officially be no longer pregnant.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Time does truly heal. The hurt isn't as bad. Although I still think about the what-ifs occasionally, it's no longer accompanied by pain. I almost feel bad that it doesn't hurt anymore but that is part of the healing I guess. I hope to meet my little Francis (the name we decided to give him/her) one day in heaven. Until then I am blessed to have my own little saint that is apart of me to pray for me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It’s so amazing all the little things we mothers It’s so amazing all the little things we mothers become experts in. Sometimes these things may seem totally trivial or random but it’s proof of a mother’s love and homemaker’s heart. 
Example: how mothers become experts in all the food preferences of the many different people in her home. And not only that but also knows how to provide/ prepare food for all those different preferences. I know (too well) that doing this can be annoying at times but it’s actually really amazing if you think about it. No one knows how to feed your family like you do.

It’s Friday, therefore menu planning day. I would love some inspiration so what’s on your menu coming up for the week or are you not quite ready to think that far ahead yet?

Confession heals, confession justifies, confession Confession heals, confession justifies, confession grants pardon of sin, all hope consists in confession; in confession there is a chance for mercy.
--St. Isidore of Seville
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have always had a special devotion to confession. I didn't realize this until I was an adult. Confession is actually one of my favorite sacraments (not that I could really choose a favorite since they are all amazing). Even in my teen/ early adult years when I wasn't living a faithful life I always felt called to confession and always found it so comforting. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My mother's influence taught me confession is a beautiful thing. It's not this embarrassing, scary, weird thing that society (and even some Catholics I know) make it to be. It's not just about our sins and failures but about the graces, love, mercy, healing, and strength we get from the Holy Spirit. My goal as a mother is to instill a love and devotion to the sacrament of reconciliation in my children. This is what inspired me to create a Confession Guide for Kids.

Seven kids = A LOT OF LAUNDRY. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Laundry is one of those menial tasks that I am always doing. It can definitely feel daunting, especially when I have let it go too long. But you know what, when you look at that mountain of clothes with gratitude instead of frustration, it lightens the load (see what I did there). A lot of these clothes are hand-me-downs. I am thankful for the memories I have of multiple kids going through the same pajamas. Through washing and folding these clothes, I am for the kids they clothe. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Pikachu pajama use to be my oldest and has been handed down through four kids! They’re now Ignatius’ (the fifth)! I use to get annoyed by how often I washed this but now it actually makes me happy knowing that all the kids have worn it. They get so excited when they are big enough to wear it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
