Hey friends!
What if some of your child’s screen time turned into time to explore, create, and solve cool problems instead of just zoning out?
I’ve recently signed up as a SparkEd affiliate and earn a commission through my link, so you’re helping support Pollywog’s Place if you decide to try it. SparkEd pulls together both academic support and fun enrichment, with topics like invention, storytelling, and global exploration. Because it’s self-paced, families can weave learning into their routines without totally rearranging life. Start with your child’s interests, then pick a course that fits their
readiness and comfort level.
Curious what might grab your kiddo’s attention? Take a peek at SparkEd through this link:
We’ve been shaking things up a bit in our homeschool routines this year. One big goal has been finding lessons and workbooks that let the older kids work more independently (while I drink my coffee before it gets cold for once… lol… while working more one-on-one with our youngest child). I’ll chat more about the other curriculum changes later—some of the workbooks are still on back order, so we haven’t really tried them out yet—but we *have* started using another resource that I’m excited to tell you about right now.
We’re kicking things off with some of the Life Skills courses that have caught my crew’s eye. My boys are itching to tackle the Survivor Skills course, while my older daughter has her sights set on the Personal Finance course. Each course has 12 modules with four sections, which fits really nicely into our current homeschool rhythm without feeling overwhelming.
We’ll keep you posted once we’ve had more time to play with these new resources… and honestly, we’re nerd-level excited about it, so there *will* be updates!
Let me know if you have tried this out or what courses you are interested in!
May God Bless You!

Does homeschooling ever leave you feeling completely worn out?
Are you rushing through your days, feeling tense, guilty, or constantly overwhelmed as you try to keep up with homeschooling?
Maybe you started homeschooling with a deep desire to give your kids a rich, faith-filled education and to be the kind of mom or dad who teaches them well … but now you’re buried under lesson plans, laundry, meal prep, complicated schedules, and the nagging worry that you’re not doing enough or doing it “right.”
Here’s some good news: a peaceful, joyful homeschool really is possible when you focus on God’s purpose for your homeschool:
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.” (Deuteronomy 6:5–7)
When you put biblical discipleship first, you can let go of trying to do it all perfectly—and begin to enjoy teaching at home again, right alongside your kids.
That’s why I’d love to invite you to the free online Homeschool Teaching Summit (October 19–23, 2026)—a week packed with biblical encouragement and practical tools to help you teach your kids at home and experience a more joyful year of God-centered learning. You can grab your free ticket now at homeschoolsummits.com\/teaching.
May GOD Bless You!
