Hi! I’m Shirley.

Homeschooling mom of 2.

I am a public school graduate with no homeschooling or educator’s background.

I had absolutely NO clue what homeschooling was about and now I share our journey & adventures to inspire you to start yours today.

On this blog, I share:

  • our homeschool journey
  • homemaking & family finances
  • our family adventures
  • random motherhood ramblings
homeschool table and homeschool space

Family

All about homemaking, meals, family finance, and some of our adventures!

I share my joys and trials in my Mom Diary, faith & devotion, and current reads.

Let's go mama!

Hello! 👋 Welcome to my channel. I am so glad you are here. If you are looking for a multi-sensory curriculum for spelling, you might want to check out All About Spelling. We've been using All About Spelling (Level 1) for my son who is 8 years old since January 2021. He struggled with spelling and this curriculum has really helped him gain the confidence he needs to start writing on his own. ⏱ TIME CODE 0:00​​ Intro. 0:42 All About Spelling: Multi-sensory learning 1:15 Why We Use All About Spelling 1:41 Preparing to Use the Curriculum, Tiles 2:17 Tiles App 2:42 Phonogram App 3:08 All About Spelling Review 4:52 Free Resources 🔗 LINKS All About Spelling: http://bit.ly/2Pb8KXb (affiliate) Tiles App: http://bit.ly/3s1xOPe (affiliate) Phonogram App: https://www.allaboutlearningpress.com/phonogram-sounds-app/ All About Learning (FREE resources): https://resources.allaboutlearningpress.com/ All About Reading & Spelling Support Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/AALPSupportGroup 😅 CORRECTION ❌ I said in the video that since this is level 1 there's a lot of new teaching.

Starting homeschool and on a budget? I am here to tell you that you can totally homeschool even if you are on a tight budget. During the first year of my son's homeschool, I used a lot of Dollar Tree workbooks and supplies. I saved the ones he didn't use and will use them with my daughter when she's ready. 😊 📌 RELATED BLOG POST https://mylearntogether.com/must-buy-dollar-tree-homeschool-supplies ⏱TIME CODE 0:00 Intro. 0:43 #1 Workbooks 3:23 #2 Educational posters/spinners 4:21 #3 Basic school supplies 🔗 DOLLAR TREE LINKS (affiliate) Teacher Ideas Blog: https://shrsl.com/2u10o Arts & Crafts Supplies: https://shrsl.com/2u45t Workbooks: https://shrsl.com/2u43o Educational posters/spinners: https://shrsl.com/2u47k Basic school supplies: https://shrsl.com/2u10q 📲 CONNECT WITH ME Instagram: https://instagram.com/mylearntogether​​​ Facebook: https://facebook.com/mylearntogether​​​ Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/mylearntogether​​​ Blog: https://mylearntogether.com​​​ 🙋🏻‍♀️ ABOUT ME I'm a homeschool mom of 2, military spouse, and homeschool blogger.
