Balancing working and homeschooling - HOW WE CAN DO BOTH!

Hi there! Thanks so much for joining me. If you're new here, welcome! I'm Lauren, a homeschooling (and working) mom of 3 girls.

Whether you're working full time, part time, from home or outside the home, it can be a bit of a balancing act to manage work and homeschool. I'm excited for this collaboration as there are so many other working/homeschooling moms sharing their best tips and experiences. Make sure to check out their videos below!

I give my sons who are 13 and 9 daily assignments to have completed by the time I get off work. When I come home, I grade their assignments and ask questions to make sure they understand the content. They are more self-taught through this method. We do tests and field trips on Fridays. By God's grace, they are learning and growing.

So many moms can benefit from outsourcing! Homeschool doesn't mean you have to do every single thing yourself!

Thanks for posting this. It's hard to find homeschool moms who work outside the home like I do. The encouraging words really helped because I'm praying for a remote job so that I can be at home with my son and homeschool.

Oh my goodness you have no idea how your video just lifted me up. I'm in SA homeschooling Mama of 2 girls 8&6 with a turning 2 year boy. I've been officially doing this for three years and working full time at home and all of a sudden I just felt things kind of turning sideways our days are not turning as I plan and it's just been overwhelming, even thinking of leaving my job but financially not a good idea, I have a loving and supportive husband who works outside and it's winter down here days are short we just not getting to staff. But I feel like this video has actually opened me to new ideas and tips to do things differently and above all just be present no matter how much we get through and do the things I can do and outsource what I can by getting extra help as well so we can enjoy each other. Thank you I just told the girls we need to have a workshop on how we can better progress while enjoying the journey❤🙏

Letting go of a perfect house is HARD! I'm much a happier person when my house is clean, BUT I also know I'm happy person when I put my kids first. It's a process and practicing letting go is probably a good thing. 😂💕💕

Mom's who work and school are Super Mom's! You guys are incredible with your love and dedication for your family. ❤️❤️💕💕

Yes! I get my groceries delivered! I’ve been doing it for a couple years and it’s a game changer!

This is what I needed to hear. Currently working full time remote while trying to maintain the home & start "school" with my 3.5 year old and 1 year old. I can only handle 20-30min of any lesson work for my 3.5. My heart wants to devote all day to raising my kids but I cannot. It is so overwhelming but I'm glad I came across this video..."God has put you where you are." Something I will try to remember.

"What happened, I thought I had it all figured out?" hahaha---yes, kids and seasons and everything is constantly changing, and we constantly adjust to try to keep up!

Thank you so much! I’ve graduated 2 from our homeschool with a more traditional approach of being with them all day everyday. Now with my last 2, I am working part time in our small business. Although I have no doubts this is possible, I am just glad to know that I’m not the only one!

Oh yes. A 3-4 day school week is wonderful! We also do one day a week of a field trip if all goes well. Still homeschool but less workload on mom.

I work and homeschool. It takes dedication for sure. I wouldn't have it any other way

OMG I found my tribe! SO excited I found your video!

Outsourcing is hard for me to admit is needed but it really does help so much! I want to eventually outsource some house work but for now we outsource some homeschooling options like PE, general art, fine arts, and local history. Wednesday’s are pretty much a full day of learning with little effort from me lol

Lauren!! Honestly you are just so relatable and these tips are amazing!!! ❤ I love the way you filmed this... I feel like you are here talking with me .. giving me encouragement!

[JoyfulNoiseLearning]

Great encouragement, Lauren! Love your thoughts to remind us not to feel guilty if we don’t do things like “everyone else.” And that we need to adapt to our own families 💕

[RootedHomeLife]

It’s such great advice to find contentment where you are not always be wishing for a different season!!

[teachthemfun]

Perfect house is hard. I have several baskets of laundry in my front room for the second day in a row 🤪 we also plan outfits the night before when we have a busy day coming. It really does help. That’s a great point! I love that you just try to get ahead to stay on top of it all.
