Comments on: Jamie’s homeschool day in the life (with an 11-, 12-, & 13-year-old) https://simplehomeschool.net/jamies-day-2017/ Never let your schooling interrupt your education. Thu, 12 Feb 2026 23:11:02 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Emily Ekegren https://simplehomeschool.net/jamies-day-2017/#comment-530856 http://simplehomeschl.wpengine.com/?p=52039#comment-530856 I love this! As my boys are getting older (9 and almost 11), I’d love for them to have more independence and freedom in their learning. I’m sure you have a post about it somewhere, but what do you do about (non-learning, fun) screen time?

That must be SO different–it’s hard for me to imagine at this season. We take it one day at a time!

We use an old iPhone for Audible. Most of what we do is by invitation/choice, but certain things like chores are required!

I passed your encouragement on to Trishna, Jodie, thank you!

Thanks, Marnita! It isn’t always natural or fun (ha!), but we have glimpses of both from time to time!!

The pictures your daughter paints are beautiful. I also like that beautiful bread in the picture. Do you have a bread recipe posted? I feel like I saw one before but I can’t find it. Thank you for sharing your day with us.

I am working on being more present to my kids. They are lovely, but it is a big switch to the old days of all 4 kids being home all day- my 2 older ones go to dual enrollment high school/college and are gone all day 2 or 3 days a week

What device do u use for audible?

She’s very talented. Also, I love the rhythm you have going with your kids, structure and freedom, a beautiful thing, God bless!
