(0:36) The quick version of my journey to become a work-from-home homeschooler

• We didn't plan to homeschool and work from home
• But that's exactly what we have been doing for almost 15 years

(1:23) The number one thing I have learned to handle combining work and homeschool is to give yourself grace.

• There will be things that you want to do that you don't have time to do - give yourself grace.
• There will be days that don't go as planned - give yourself grace.
• Realize that this is just a season and give yourself the grace you need to enjoy it!

(2:21) The second thing I have learned is to have my day laid out in time blocks.

• I don't do well with minute-by-minute schedules, so I use blocks of time.
• The first block sets the tone for the rest of my day and then comes work, homeschool, work, and family time.
• I know that my days will follow a set flow.

(4:08) The third thing I have learned is to get help.

• The reality is that you can't do it all.
• Decide your priorities and then get help for the rest.
• If you can't afford help, let things go.
• "Everything is figureoutable!!" - Marie Forleo

• You can work from home and homeschool!
