I’ve been wanting to do another Day in the Life post since starting homeschool. \u00a0I\u00a0was\u00a0waiting for a “normal” day but things kept coming up. \u00a0Then I realized there is no typical day in our homeschool lives! Every day is different. \u00a0Everyday has a different schedule, different events, different tasks. \u00a0No two days are ever alike and that is one of the things I love about it. \u00a0Our days are totally flexible. No schedule to follow, no time table. \u00a0Complete freedom to do what we want when we want.<\/p>\n
