What I Do During Prep Week: A Strategy for Homeschool and Homemaking

Planning and educating your kids at home is difficult, but trying to manage a home on top of it? 😵
A few years ago an experienced momma shared her strategy for success called “prep week.” The idea is simple, but the effects are powerful: take a week off of school lessons every 6 weeks to plan, prepare, and catch up on projects. Kids learn life-skills and you get a chance to catch your breath.
I’ve been using this strategy for a couple years now and it has made a huge difference in my ability to get things done and maintain my sanity.
In this video I show you what I do during prep week and talk about how I structure our school year.
If you want more details about any of the things I mention in the video, leave a comment and I’ll work on making videos for the most popular subjects!

This is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your process! I’m currently pregnant with my first baby and looking forward to being a homemaking wife and homeschooling mother. I have thoroughly enjoyed your channel so far in gathering ideas. ☺️

[@simplewondersacademy]

Im so glad they’ve been helpful! Before you have kids is a Great time to start learning because, I can tell you from experience, it’s much harder when you’re in the thick of things 😆

[@lydiacerdhe4060]

@@simplewondersacademy would you be open to share how you continue homeschooling your older children when you have a new baby, especially in your postpartum phase?

[@esteph154]

Amazing!! This is so practical and useful ❤️ Would love to see a video on your daily rhythm and what curriculum you like or use or what homeschooling style you are in to

[@simplewondersacademy]

I have a couple that might help! My video on our daily rhythm and how I use Charlotte Mason’s method for family-style learning.

I would love to be more organized and structured to help reduce stress. Do you have a video with some meal prep ideas or frozen meals.
Also what sort of testing do you do ?

[@simplewondersacademy]

I don’t have a video yet… but I’m working on one! I’m hoping to have one done in a month or so👌🏼

[@elliegrace3032]

I love this! I have two toddler boys & a newborn girl, and I'm trying to figure out how to start homeschooling - and feel so overwhelmed with having to do it on top of all the house things already! This is so helpful to hear how you do it🥰

[@simplewondersacademy]

The toddler and infant stage is SO HARD. I remember going to bed so exhausted and overwhelmed every night when I had two young kids and a baby. You got this!

[@angelineheindel2573]

I love this! So helpful! ❤️
