    Hello everyone!
    My name is Jessica and I am new to this site as well as homeschooling. I recently pulled my second grader from a charter school and am learning the ropes of homeschooling. So far it is exciting but also very overwhelming. I also have a 1 and 3 year old at home that are constantly keeping my busy. I would greatly appreciate any advice for homeschooling with little ones at home. This seems to be my biggest obstacle so far. Anyways, I am glad to have stumbled upon this site and hope to learn and contribute many things here! :D

    Hi! I'm living in Alaska too! Welcome to the spot!!! I have 5 children and it can be challenging to keep everyone on task. One of my biggest tip is to take advantage of when the younger ones are napping. :)

    What type of curr. are you looking into using. Some are more time intensive than others. Finding one that is a good fit for your family is key to homeschooling going smoothly. It doesn't matter what works for others it has to work for you. :)
