Gen X homeschool mom with celiac.
I talk about real books, real budget (including Amazon Subscribe & Save keeps/cancels), and the actual version of raising kids — not the highlight reel.
No fluff. Just what’s working and what isn’t.
Stick around if that sounds useful.

@thewhitesnake I wish I knew the average number of verified followers people have when they hit that.

@GodsZebra We have 9 we've tamed and got spayed/neutered through our local feral cat program. We let them in the front room when it's cold out, or a few at a time even if it's nice weather. This one is Sally chilling in the sink.

@TranscendntCode So much truth! How is it, I can eat so many as the appetizer??

[Jessica Westerman @catchamoon1977]

@Octopus727 Why, thank you!

[Jessica Westerman @catchamoon1977]

I never thought about taking pictures. You have me thinking this over more. I'm in Illinois and we don't have any reporting or testing, but it seems like I should have something to show. Although even aside type this new, I don't have anything to show from their time in school except report cards, so it's really not any different.

[Jessica Westerman @catchamoon1977]

Homeschool moms that use narration: how do you organize it and grade it? I'm in a state that's basically the wild west with zero reporting, but I'd like to get into a habit of good records before highschool. Each kid has a giant, zip up, 3 ring binder that I'm going to put their narrations in, divided by subject, but I"m curious if there are other ways that are better? This is only my second year, so wondering if this is a good long term strategy. One giant binder full of narrations for each school year???

@1BethDutton The common might be a problem.

[Jessica Westerman @catchamoon1977]

I love this 💕💕

You can redesign the curriculum every five years, buy every new classroom technology, and launch another national literacy initiative.

Or you can make sure every kid grows up in a house where books are normal and reading happens every night.
