I’ve been wanting to do another Day in the Life post since starting homeschool. I was waiting for a “normal” day but things kept coming up. Then I realized there is no typical day in our homeschool lives! Every day is different. Everyday has a different schedule, different events, different tasks. No two days are ever alike and that is one of the things I love about it. Our days are totally flexible. No schedule to follow, no time table. Complete freedom to do what we want when we want.
