Comments on: Kari’s Homeschool Day in the Life (with a 1-, 3-, 13-, and 15-year-old) https://simplehomeschool.net/kari2022/ Never let your schooling interrupt your education. Thu, 12 Feb 2026 23:01:07 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Chris S. https://simplehomeschool.net/kari2022/#comment-807814 https://simplehomeschool.net/?p=63174#comment-807814 It’s been awhile since I’ve caught up on the Day In the Life posts and I’m so glad I decided to visit them again. I have a 14 year old as well as a 2 year old and 10 month old. Sometimes it’s felt impossible to keep up with middle school and little ones, never mind also cooking and the house! It usually seems that families also have the in between ages and they have kids playing together while they teach others but that just doesn’t exist in our case. So relieving to hear someone else considers showering a treat at this stage too!

I also remembered taking government class with Michael Farris, though I don’t think we did any other classes with HSLDA.

Anyway, thank you for sharing a glimpse into your homeschool life; you guys are busy! I hope you and your family have a lovely summer this year 🙂

God has given us five children, currently from ages 15 months to nearly 13 years old. My oldest is highly motivated and responsible, which blessedly allows me to focus my attention on working with her younger brothers–but there have been (too) many mornings recently where I find the carpet has been colored with dry erase marker by the toddler, or a kitchen cupboard’s contents are turned topsy-turvy (again). The little one’s nap time allows for focused time with the older children, or simply for a chance to read and re-focus, but these days are demanding. I love seeing the photo of your dad reading with the boys. I’m so sorry that you recently lost your mom. She left a beautiful legacy, and you will too. May God bring you comfort.

Taught in public and Christian schools for 24 years and was astonished and saddened to see what was going on even in a Christian school. My heart breaks to see what my grandchildren are being subjected to in the public schools here in Florida. I pray that ultimately our grandkids will be taken out of the public school and at least be put in a good Christian school environment. God Bless you for what you do! Will keep you and your family in our prayers.
