One of the things many of you may or may not know about me is that my entire university education has been acquired while working full time. When I was allotted TV time, I didn’t use it to watch the standard children’s shows. Assess Your Time. Make sure you can fit both full time work and study into your life.

For myself, what didn’t get done before lunch just didn’t get done, when I was home full time. Pick your most energetic and productive time of day for household chores and you will get much more done in a given time. You will get rid of so much angst by refusing to enter into a cleaning frenzy war.

made by my husband While my husband’s income has increased over the years, we’ve ended up with a lot of (mostly) medical debt that would be easier to pay off if I were/had been able to work full-time. I was especially close to my maternal grandmother, though, and any financial education I got came from her.

It reminds me of my childhood and how my grandmother cooked for us. Since Noah is half Jewish and half Baptist/Cuban it’s important for him to learn about both cultures and since he’s not with us full time I have a lot to teach him!

For 20 or so years I’ve been homeschooling my kids, and am now down to about 1 1/2 (one full-time homeschooler, and one doing College Credit Plus with some support). My grandpa would shoot squirrels when they needed meat, and they had a big garden and my grandmother baked her own bread.
