A fall-themed homeschool resource!

August 12, 2020 · 6 Comments
Filed Under: homeschool, seasons

Many of you know I am a homeschool mama of four young kiddos, but did you know this is my THIRD year teaching? Next month I’ll be teaching 2nd grade, 1st grade, and pre-K. In preparation for another year learning at home I wanted to share a really helpful resource with you.

My real life friend Ashley Howry of Home + Haven Homeschool Community, along with her sister Kaitlin (who has her Masters in curriculum development), have created a Fall Theme Bundle for you to jumpstart your learning experience at home. Not only is Ashley is a mama of seven kiddos and homeschools as well, but she and her many siblings were homeschooled K-12. So this is a resource I am eager to dive into with my children!

If you’re just hearing about the Fall Theme Bundle, it’s a printable bundle of fall themed activities for your early elementary kids (preK-3rd). There are also fun projects and writing assignments for 4th-6th and beautiful prints for you! This is a wonderful addition to any sort of schoolwork you’re doing this upcoming year (homeschool or not!). If you’re a teacher, this would be a sweet addition to your classroom.

Through Friday this week (August 14th), the bundle is just $25. Click here to view + purchase.

HERE’S WHAT’S INSIDE:

+ The Fall Theme Bundle features six units: Apples, Pumpkins, Leaves, Bats, Owls and Candy Corn.  It was designed to be an extra resource to what you’re already doing.⁣

+ There are over 150+ pages of content. The majority of it requires little to no prep work.⁣

+ Fun educational activity sheets⁣⁣

+ Hands on activities for promoting math and literacy⁣⁣

+ Science projects⁣

+ STEM focused activities⁣⁣

+ Seasonal book lists⁣⁣

+ Beautiful fall themed prints for the home⁣

Having educational, interesting resources handy is SO helpful for me! Not only because I have four young children, ages 7.5yo down to 2yo, but because I want to help them fill their minds and lives with truth, goodness & beauty. We aren’t big on screens and mindless activities. And more importantly, I truly enjoy creating and learning alongside them. I love the heart behind this resource. Can you relate?

What is your plan for the upcoming school year? Let me know in the comments. I will be back next week with some more encouraging resources I’ve personally enjoyed.

xx, Maggie

PS. remember, you have through Friday (August 14th) to purchase the bundle for just $25!

    I would love to get this! Are you part of their Home and Haven Homeschool Monthly Subscription? I was trying to find a contact page, email or really anything and I couldn’t find one on their website. I had a question about their monthly subscription.

JOY in motherhood & homemaking 🧺🌿💓✨

Reflecting on this today 💓🕊 When I reflect o Reflecting on this today 💓🕊 When I reflect on the moments I’ve felt my mind spinning, my emotions swirly, it’s almost always when I’m not feasting on the word of God. Not that reading scripture is the cure for anxiety —no! Rather, it’s hard to worry when we’re worshipping.

I fought every internal comment I could think of a I fought every internal comment I could think of and took my kiddos for a looooong walk today before dinner. ❄️✨ There’s just so much work required to raise children! I’m feeling like a tired lady. But sunshine & fresh air are good companions to keep around. 

We came home and I made “the best dinner ever”. Max specifically announced, “it’s so great you’re launching new meals to the world”. LOL— kids! 🤣👏🏻💓
How about a little Wednesday night introduction? 😘Social media sure has changed over the years and we don’t always SEE who we’re following or remember WHY we’re following certain accounts. 

So, hello! As you can gather, my name is Maggie ;) 

I started writing online (almost 13 years ago) to share the handmade products I was sewing. My shop was called Gussy Sews. ✂️👛I love the community that has grown from sewing & sharing online.

Let’s FFW to today: Zack and I live in Michigan and have four young children (2 boys & 2 girls). I slowly left the handmade industry and walked right into homemaking, homeschooling, and encouraging women through writing. 💕📝

Motherhood has been very hard on me. (And not just because of how close in age our four children are.) It’s been hard for me because I fought for years to accept that *it’s supposed to be hard*. 

I mean, how do you effectively teach another person to know and love the Lord? Bc that’s how I think of motherhood: a calling to nurture others by studying the One who nurtures me. So I gotta make the first move: study the Bible and seek Him first. As my friend Autumn reminded me, vulnerability births transformation. 

(I’ve had to be really vulnerable!)

So, yes motherhood has fully transformed me. But even more so, Christ has fully transformed me. My list of “all that He’s done for me” is off to a beautifully long start.

Something else I want you to know about me: I stalled for years before acknowledging I have anxiety and depression. It’s hard to talk about this because of course this isn’t forever “my hardship”, but rather because acknowledging this means to heal I have to work through some really difficult things. ✨

But my friend Jesus walks alongside me. He’s already done a mighty work in my heart, including helping me process my anger in healthier ways. I’ve also adopted a heart for sisterhood, mothering, and Titus 2 mentorship.

Sometimes our greatest losses are our greatest gains? That’s what I’m clinging to!

How about you? Tell me something about yourself so I can get to know you on a deeper heart level. 🖤🖤
How do you play in the winter? // We had a really How do you play in the winter? // We had a really great time visiting family in northern Michigan. On my blog I share a few ways we played outside, plus I describe a memorable childhood game ❄️☃️. Did you play it as a kiddo?
We had gotten a bit lazy with our rhythms: screens We had gotten a bit lazy with our rhythms: screens in the morning (HGTV), playtime before lessons, and not enough quiet time after lunch. This made for a really, ummm, unenjoyable learning experience. 

But today! Today we reset the rhythm, and we have had a much happier home & time learning together. 👏🏻
Visit my stories for a quick message from ME — t Visit my stories for a quick message from ME — think outside the box in terms of how you view the definition of “motherhood” 💓😘 (also: look at my little friend, she’s sooooo snuggly)
It’s another cold, winter day. ❄️Today I hop It’s another cold, winter day. ❄️Today I hope to bundle up for another family nature walk, knowing the fresh air sweeps out any & all frustration, inviting inspiration inside. ✨That’s something we all need more of.
