Good morning, friends—well, honestly it was basically afternoon by the time I picked up the camera again. In this vlog I’m sharing a slice of our stay-at-home mom routine in a busy large family homeschool home: getting moving, getting food going (yes, sourdough!), and then jumping into our school day. We also had piano lesson day, and I teach four of my kids, so you’ll see a little peek into what that looks like in real life—repeating parts, working on steadiness, and encouraging them as they learn. One of the biggest highlights was our backyard ice rink. I can’t even tell you how glad I am we got it up and running, because the kids are out there constantly—sometimes two hours a day, and even three hours plus when they’re really into it. It’s such good exercise, it gets them outside, and the improvement on skates over the winter is just no comparison to only going out skating once or twice a week. We also do a bit of our unit study (we picked back up after Christmas), and I share a couple real-life mom moments—like Lego injuries and a super simple dinner using leftover soup. It’s just a realistic day at home, with all the noise and all the goodness mixed together.
