This is a super old-thread so I don’t know if this will work, but here goes. We are contemplating a trip to focus on ancient Greece and I wondered if you could share your itinerary, your favorite spots, tips or any other recommendations. Thanks so much!

This is such a great blog. We have homeschooled officially for 6 years and this year for the first time we, as a family, decided to send our two boys 9 and 7 to a small private school. We also wrestled with the decision so much but since we also moved to a new country, my husband and I thought it would be a great cultural experience to do one year of schooling here. It is a very small and cozy school with great teacher but my two boys are not adjusting well and keep asking us to come back and do homeschooling. I was looking for realistic activities to do with them afterschool since I feel we all have a need to reconnect and I miss teaching them so much. So far we do Bible based activities, read classical novels and watch its movie; watch educational videos sometimes or do CTC math and play a lot (board games, puzzles, sports etc.). We don’t do everything everyday because the children do have a lot of homework and come tired. As I said before, I am trying to reconnect with them and not create a burden for them so we usually only have time for 1 or 2 activities. As of right now, we all think we will go back to homeschooling next school year but we will see how the year goes. So happy to find this type of sites.

I don’t think your reply is negative Tawny, it is reality. I have used much of the curriculum the author used in 7 years of homeschooling and just getting it done as a homeschooler is a challenge. I can’t imagine having to get it done after a full day of school.
