Your sign 🫶✨🌸
Your city hosts so many (usually FREE) events! Our city ALWAYS has something going on.
As a sahm and homeschool mom I go to as many of these as I can! Obviously because they’re free, the kids get to do something fun and socialize with other kids and it’s a break from entertaining them and setting activities up for them.
Nooo they will all always be a “win” but you won’t know unless you try!
something I have quickly learned with our first year homeschooling is that I don’t have to do everything.
There are resources out there!
your city puts on so many events your church, join a co-op or three, go to your local library, go to your local pet store even and run around!
honestly once a week we go to Deseret industries and just play with the toys we don’t even have to get something every time.
we are at a park, even in the dead of winter at least twice a week( cold weather season doesn’t mean you can’t go to the park just bundle up!)
You don’t have to have a lot of money to homeschool and you don’t have to do everything yourself!
utilize everything, including grandparents to help you when they can 🕺🏻✨🌞💘🌸

As a homeschooling parent, especially as a stay-at-home mom, finding ways to keep children engaged while managing all responsibilities can be challenging. One approach I’ve found invaluable is tapping into the free events and community resources available locally. These opportunities not only allow kids to learn and socialize outside the home but also give parents a much-needed break from constant activity planning. Many cities constantly host events through libraries, churches, local stores, and community centers. They often include workshops, playdates, story times, and educational outings. For example, weekly visits to nearby thrift stores or places like Deseret Industries can turn into fun excursions where children can discover new toys and explore without the pressure to buy anything. Even during colder seasons, bundling up and spending time at parks twice a week keeps kids active and connected to nature. One key lesson from my homeschooling journey is recognizing that you don’t have to do it all alone or spend excessively. There are numerous free or low-cost options that promote learning through exploration and play. Joining co-ops or educational groups provides additional support and social interaction for both kids and parents. Also, leveraging help from grandparents or other family members can provide essential assistance and enrich the homeschooling experience. In essence, embracing your city’s free events and community offerings is a strategic way to create a joyful, resourceful, and balanced homeschooling routine without financial strain. It’s about making the most of what’s around you and building a supportive learning environment that promotes growth, fun, and connection.
