I have been a homeschool mom for twenty years now. While of course there have been ups and downs, overall I have loved it!

We are in curriculum planning mode over here. Our school year will be starting within one month, and it is so exciting to start getting everything together.

When my oldest daughter was in the seventh grade, we started using Teaching Textbooks for math and haven’t looked back. We have used it for over a decade now.

I really like it because I know that my children are learning what they are supposed to and it does all of the grading for me. As a mom many years removed from school, sometimes I simply don’t remember everything I learned in my upper level math classes. Teaching Textbooks to the rescue!

I shared a coupon code several months ago that will get you a free 15 lesson Teaching Textbooks trial, but I thought now would be a good time to share it again since the school year will be starting soon.

It truly is free, with no credit card required.

For my first grader, we are trying out The Good and the Beautiful math for the first time. I’m really excited to see how it goes! The coursebook is beautiful, and it also looks like a lot of fun. She is excited to start the program.

I need to find a good Homeschool Planner to start our year off on the right foot. Hopefully I will purchase one soon.

It is such a privilege to teach my children from home! Sure, not all days go perfectly. But if we look at these times as opportunities to grow and learn, even the bad turns into the good.

If you are a homeschooler or are sending your children off to school this year, I hope you have an amazing experience. If you try the Teaching Textbooks trial, I would love to hear about it! What did you like about it? What didn’t you like? Did you decide to go with the program?

Thank you so much for stopping by today, friends!

Blessing, Nicole
