There is no right or wrong way to be a great homeschool mom. You already qualify as the best teacher and mentor on the planet for your kids. No one else cares as much about their success as you!

Instead of being too hard on ourselves, let’s have a little fun.

Invite a friend to Play Homeschool Mom Bingo!

  • Print your game
  • Mark off the ones you’ve completed
  • Share the fun with friends!

Need help completing a square?

1. Turns baking into science

Kids cooking

“Believe it or not, cooking and baking can be great teaching tools. You know what I always say….“Science is everywhere!”

You may be wondering how spending an afternoon baking chocolate chip cookies can relate to math and science. Then again, you may not care if the end result is cookies. Let’s go over the super important sounding words that are at the heart of learning in the kitchen.”

2. Buys copy paper by the case

3. Homeschool Master Goals Established… check!

4. Follows 2+ Homeschool bloggers

Ok, this one is subjective. If you are lucky enough to have homeschooling friend’s next door, like I did when I first began homeschooling you may not need to follow a homeschool blogger.

There are many, many, many moms (like me) who share their homeschool journey through their own blogs.

My favorite homeschool bloggers:

  • Amy with Planning Playtime has amazing preschool goodies
  • Ana with They Call Me Blessed
  • Gena with Music in Our Homeschool
  • Kelly with Happy You, Happy Family (not a homeschool blog… but she sees you through your screen)
  • Don’t forget A Better Way to Homeschool (That’s me)

5. Asks homeschool questions in FB group

Come join Our Lives as Homeschool Moms!

If you ask 100 homeschoolers a question, you will get 137 different answers. I may be a bit biased, but this little corner of the internet is the most encouraging I’ve found!

6. Owns a FANTASTIC pencil sharpener

Worth every penny

My husband doesn’t understand.

He laughed when I told him how much I spent on this bad boy. But it’s a life changer.

It treats expensive, wonderful, quality pencils and cheap, peeling, “can’t hold their lead” pencils equally and without prejudice.

I will almost never say what I am about to say, but I can’t help myself.

Go buy yourself a Carl Angel 5 Pencil Sharpener right now.

7. Knows That LEARNING is the goal, not page numbers

What does successful homeschooling look like?

8. Attends 1+ online or in-person homeschool conference

After I attended my first homeschool conference, I was hooked with connecting with other homeschool moms. Especially older homeschoolers.

There’s something magical about gleaning hard earned wisdom from people a little farther ahead of you than you are today.

Pro-tip: Make it a goal to find one GOLDEN nugget (wisdom, advice, or resource) from any conference you attend. It only takes one to make the whole conference worth your time and money!

Online conferences worth attending at least once:

All Kerry’s Conferences and Workshops are amazing!

9. Knows where to ask MATH questions

I highly recommend collecting mathematicians for your homeschool journey. Yes, you’ll want a math roadmap, but sometimes you just need someone to explain things to you.

While I’ve collected a few math whizzes in my time homeschooling, I’ve also found some amazing YouTube teachers!

  • Organic Chemistry Tutor! Wow this guy has made a huge difference for us
  • Math Antics: Clear and easy to follow
  • Math and Science: My personal favorite. He helped me remember how to do all the math things I forgot!

10. Has books in EVERY room of the house

Adoring books may be the one common trait of homeschool moms!

11. Ignores the “you should” comments

Everyone on the planet will give you advice about homeschooling. You’ll want to quickly learn to fine-tune who you collect advice from. Years ago, a friend taught me to inspect the life of the person who is freely giving me advice before listening.

12. New BUG?

Homeschool moms can turn anything into a learning activity, but the best homeschool moms hide the truth that kids are learning. Their kids believe they play all day!

  • Discovers new bug
  • collects it
  • turns into science lesson for the week

13. Trains CHARACTER

14. Buys or creates printables

15. Confident that art, music, dance, and LEGOs are important

16. Loses sleep while thinking about teaching kids

17. Sometimes feels alone and overwhelmed

18. Sometimes feels alone and overwhelmed

19. Googles “how to make learning FUN”

20. Looking for affirmation  that she’s on right track

21. Has thought it might be easier if they go to school-school

22. Has gifts and abilities she wants to use in teaching but doesn’t know how
