Homeschool's Holiday Packing List

We are trying to travel light this holiday, as if there is no lighter oxymoron than that. But besides the necessities, we have decided that a few books, their new art kits and their handy-dandy journals will suffice as far as homeschooling is concern. What do you think of our kits? Little Monster Heaven? Well, we hope the handy-dandy journals will keep the colours of the walls.

So this is what our vacationing homeschool will look like:

1. An Art Kit each.

2. A handy-dandy journal each.

3. Three books each.

4. Whatever that can fit into their tiny backpacks. That's an hour's worth of packing, prioritising, unpacking and repacking.

5. Some toys for the baby who does not sleep during the day nor the night.

6. Swimming suits.

7. A float each.

8. A pair of sandals each.

Pretty light for the likes of us. Hopefully this will be enough for the homeschooling besides all those trips around the island. More planning to do.

Peanut Butter and Jelly

Less than one minute preparation. The kids love it. Fun, nutritious (especially on wholemeal bread) and filling. Just nice for breakfasts, second breakfasts or afternoon snacks. Fits conveniently into a tupperware. Perfect for hectic days on the go.

For the Frazzled and the Weary

Read this blog: Guilt-free Homeschooling. The title itself will make you feel better. I found it when I needed support the most and I especially loved this post.

I think every parent, homeschooling or not, should read this blog and become acquainted first hand at how to manage the ever-changing stress of being a parent.

As one writing mother (whom I look up to) said, "the stress of being a mother never goes away, it just changes." So read that blog! It will give you a new outlook on educating your children.
