It is ME

Hi friend—I'm so glad you're here. I’m Jenna, the voice behind Creative Homeschoolers—Let’s be real—homeschooling can feel overwhelming, especially when Pinterest tells you every learning space needs fairy lights and an alphabet wall hand-painted in watercolor. (Spoiler alert: It doesn’t.) I created this space for moms like you—creative, intentional, beautifully imperfect women who care deeply about their children’s growth and want to make learning joyful. Whether you're just getting started or knee-deep in lesson plans and cereal crumbs, Creative Homeschoolers is here to remind you that you are doing enough—and that homeschooling can be peaceful, playful, and completely tailored to your family’s rhythm.

Today we had fun learning all about the mummification process. We took a deep dive into a rabbit hole during our lesson from #gatherroundhomeschool #ancientcivilizations! We explored mummies and pyramids today. Watched a ton of fun videos, including a few that showed us the inside of a pyramid. These cute rice Krispy treat mummies were the best treats to go along with them.

Here’s a peek behind the curtain of our homeschool day—where teaching multiple ages means bouncing between ABCs and algebra, snack time and projects. It’s not always picture-perfect, but it’s ours. The rhythm is real, the lessons go beyond the books, and somehow (with caffeine and grace), we make it work.

You have probably heard it too. “Why don’t you just put your kids in Public School so they can be like other kids/they are missing out/they need socialization. But that is the point. We have chosen differently for a reason. We have chosen homeschool for the freedom, the individualized learning, slower pace, and so much more! Why have you chosen to homeschool?

🎨🎨🖌👩‍🎨Today we paint. Who am I kidding we paint every day. I once had a girl from my Co-op class say, “ Miss Jenna you sure do you like to paint!” Straw painting is so fun! To do this fun activity you need:
✅ a straw
✅ diluted tempera paints
✅ paper
✅ a dropper for your paints
✅ a cookie sheet or somewhere to contain the mess!

Happy painting!

Easter is right around the corner. That means it’s time to break out the fun crafts for the kids. This cute little bunny was so easy to make! All you need are a handful of material, all of which I bought at the Dollar Tree. Affordable, easy, and fun- my go-to way to keep those creative wheels turning. #eastercrafts #eastercraftsforkids
