I love BrainPOP. No, this isn't a sponsored post

I love BrainPOP.

No, this isn't a sponsored post or anything (although, even when I do sponsored posts, I'm always 100% honest with my thoughts, so....).

I'm currently setting up for my co-op classes today. I teach two classes of life skills which, if you've read any of my recent articles, you know that I feel that life skills are invaluable. They're my favorite to teach.

Anyways, I have some activities for the kids to do and, after logging into @brainpop_official now have a personal hygiene video for them to watch.

We're reaching all the learning styles today and differentiating instruction in the best way possible! 💙💜

If you want to learn more about BrainPOP, there's an article on the blog!

I always knew food banks could help with providing food to families, but just recently found out they also offer cooking classes!

My boys have been taking cooking classes with our local food bank the past few weeks. They've been learning so much and having fun. I love that they're able to work on learning such valuable life skills, too!

I've been working on teaching them kitchen skills, but appreciate that they're able to learn from someone else, too.

If you'd like your kids to learn their way around the kitchen, definitely look into your local food banks - they may offer classes as well!

If you ask me, teaching social emotional skills should be at the top of the list when it comes to all kids...homeschooled or not! @luvbuglearning is making social emotional learning meaningful and memorable in some of best ways possible - through videos & games!

My two boys have been having fun playing with the LuvBug Learning app and, if you ask me, they don't even realize they're actually learning at the same time. The graphics are fun, the games offer just the right amount of challenge, and the content is appropriate for all ages.

One of my favorite parts?? Other than the content, one of my favorite perks of using this app is that there are NO ads. My kids aren't coming to me every 2 minutes asking me what they should do about an app - they're free to continuously learn/play and I don't have to worry that they're being exposed to unsavory ads.

Get LuvBug Learning for your kids today and score their annual membership for $5/month with the code LUVBUG5.

Even more details and info can be found in my latest blog article ❤️

When we were walking off the ship and through the port to Nassau, Bahamas, we noticed that the concrete block walkway had seashells in it! Of course, I had to take a photo!

There are learning opportunities everywhere, you just need to look for them 😍

Take me back to last week....pretty please?!

We went on our first cruise and had an absolute blast. @royalcaribbean certainly knows how to make for an amazing family vacation!

We sailed from NJ and went to Cocoa Beach, FL, Perfect Day at CocoCay (Royal Caribbean's private island in the Bahamas), and Nassau, Bahamas.

We were so scared that we'd all end up seasick and that we somehow wouldn't like being on a boat for an extended period of time...we were totally wrong (thank goodness) and are itching to plan our next cruise 😆

Stay tuned - I'll be writing up our experiences and sharing tips for cruising with kids.

Any questions? Let me know!

Today's our first day of co-op!

This is also our first time joining a co-op. Certainly not a necessity for homeschooling at all, but the boys and I are looking forward to all the opportunities that will come with it.

They're signed up for a bunch of classes: Disney Geography, Harry Potter Science, Coding, Business, and more! I'm teaching two Life Skills classes, so it's just like being back in the classroom again for me 😍

What about you? Are your kids in a co-op, too? Do you teach any kids other than your own?

Have you used @brainpop_official with your kids yet?

Believe it or not, but I'm a long-time fan of BrainPOP lessons and even used their program when I was teaching in a classroom!

Now, I love that my kids get to learn from Tim & Moby, too.

Read all about our experience with BrainPop and why it could be a great addition to your homeschool days!

We have a birthday coming up this weekend! 🎉The birthday boy was having a tough time picking out his cake, but ultimately chose an option that has 1/4 each of 4 different flavors (pumpkin, caramel, chocolate, and vanilla). So cool, right?

Do you continue your regular homeschool activities on birthdays or do you take the opportunity to do something special?

We have something special planned! 😍

Are you making the most of your library membership

Are you making the most of your library membership?? So many libraries offer plenty more than "just" books!

We got to go to the @amrevmuseum in #Philly this past weekend thanks to a pass from our local library (shout out to @chplnj!). We all had a great time, learned lots, and even got to see George Washington's Revolutionary War tent. So cool!

In addition to museum passes, our library offers the opportunity to borrow things like mobile hot spots, puzzles, gardening tools, American Girl dolls (Right?? My younger self is so jealous - I wanted an @americangirlbrand doll in the WORST way when I was little), and so much more!

Check out your local library and see how you can make the most out of your library card!

We...got to be in the room where it happened, the room where it happened!

We originally went into #Philly to visit the @amrevmuseum because we REALLY wanted to see George Washington's Revolutionary War tent. It's at the Museum of the American Revolution until September 5, so time was running out to see it. We DID get to see it and it was AMAZING. (No photography allowed in an effort to preserve the tent for generations to come).

After visiting the tent, though, we totally planted on going home BUT, since the lines for the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall were the shortest I'd ever seen, we added those stops to our day.

Let me tell you, I could visit Independence Hall every day and it would still be magical. I love being able to stand where history was made. To walk on the same bricks our forefathers walked on. It gives me chills.

This past weekend, the boys got to visit "the room where it happened" for the first time. They thought it was cool - I'm thinking their love of @hamiltonmusical helped to make history cool for them 😉

Have you ever been inside Independence Hall?

Surprise, surprise...we're on the go again!

If there's an option for reasonable public transportation, we're taking it! Not only is it more eco-friendly, but we love looking out the windows while taking in the sights.

Where do you think we're off to in this photo?

I'll give you one hint: 🇺🇲

Home from my trip to #chicagoillinois and I'm already itching to travel more!

On this trip, I left the kids at home with my husband and got to enjoy some time with good friends. We had such a great time!

I'll be writing up our experiences and sharing tips for getting around the city, but...in the meantime...where should I go next?? (With the kids 😉)

Anyone else ready to start decorating for Halloween? 🤣

We're going to hold off until mid-September at least, but you can bet that we're making plans for our Halloween display!

If all else fails, cheese it up! He really wanted this art curriculum, can you tell?

When it comes to selecting curriculum & electives for my kids, I totally let them be involved! It let's them get excited for learning and gives them a sense of ownership with their education.

Good stuff, right?

@homeschoolbuyers is a fabulous resource for getting quality curriculum at a great price. They even have a ton of free trial offers and free gifts with your purchases this summer.

This free trials are a great way to let you and your kids "try before you buy."

Definitely check out Homeschool Buyers Club and get even more details in our latest article: https://thathomeschoolfamily.com/planning-homeschool-electives-in-summer/

When's the last time your kids went to the local library?

I've been busy planning our upcoming still year and getting activities figured out for the boys. Lots of fun & exciting things coming up, but I need to remember how fun (and educational) an afternoon spent at the library can be.

Think about it.

It's easy on the budget. It's quiet & calm. It it encourages reading & comprehension skills.

It almost forces us to stop...take a breather...and enjoy the quiet & use our imaginations.

We may be busy with co-op and driving to and from various classes, but leaving time for quiet afternoons spent in the library is definitely a priority over here ❤️
