Haven Homestead Podcast

Homeschool is hard any day of the week, but during this quarantine it’s even more difficult. I heard someone even call it crisis schooling, instead of homeschooling. I’ve gathered 6 tips and tricks from her own experience, and from other veteran homeschoolers that should help make things just a little smoother. 1: Remain calm and be patient (With yourself, your kids, your kids teachers, etc.)2: Set boundaries and establish a routine.3: Be Flexible.4: Everyone needs their space; give it to them!5: Incorporate things from your old normal into your new normal.6: Treat your family with love and respect, and find ways to get everyone involved in meaningful ways.In this episode I give specific guidance on boundary setting and establishing a behavior rewards system, how to know when to toss “school” out the window, and how to get everyone involved in meaningful ways. If you have more questions, or have ideas you could share, please contact us at www.havenhomestead.comPlease consider becoming a patron at www.patreon.com/havenhomestead

Christmas is a time for family, so in this episode I interview my mom. She got me started on this path of gardening, animal raising, and making things for myself (but my dad taught me the value of fixing things yourself so you don't have to pay someone else to do it, but that's a topic for a different day). In today's episode we talk about things like saving money by mulching your garden with leaves, grass, wood chips, animal manure, and garden waste. We also talk about how to find cheap tools. The last topic we discuss is how our strawbale gardens did compared to the lasagna style garden.Find out more about us at www.havenhomestead.comShow our sponsers some love by going to www.happyleafled.com and getting your anytime, anywhere, garden in a box for only $65 but save 10% when you use the promocode FRIEND at checkout.
