Successful Homeschooling Made Easy #hsreviews

How often do you wonder if you are successful homeschooling?  Are you doing it to the best of your ability?  Is there a way that homeschooling could be made easier?  I recently got a chance to review Successful Homeschooling Made Easy Course through the TOS Review Crew.  This is one of those cool reviews where you only have to remember one name if you want to try them out!  Successful Homeschooling Made Easy is the course and the vendor so it’s MADE EASY for you!  Hahahahaha.  Sorry, that’s my very dismal attempt at humor.  Moving on!

This course chock full of information was created by Stephanie Walmsley.  She started homeschooling in 1985 and found her own style and schedule for doing things.  As she watched other new moms start homeschooling and struggle she knew she wanted to share with them what had worked for her so that they too could say that they homeschooling in an easy manner.  She described it as struggling under a mass of information and lack of organization.  I can see this!  Truly there are SO MANY resources out there now for homeschooling that it is often hard to know where to turn to and what to use let alone how to schedule your days to work for you and your family!

This is a 26 week online course designed to help make homeschooling easier and you more successful as well.  The way this course is done you get a PDF to print off each week.  The first week for me contained lessons 1-4 so that I could get through it a bit faster, and then I’ve been getting one lesson a week after that.  They are simple and helpful.  If you are already interested you can get a preview of what the course is like simply by going here.  I did the trial before receiving my review and have to tell you I immediately wanted more because I was hooked and wanted access to the help simplifying my schedule.  

Things I enjoyed about this course:

• It was super simple.  I could fit it into my schedule because it didn’t take hours to work through each day.
• It didn’t tell me how I had to do things.  It rather helped me to figure out what was going to work best for our family through the questions asked and the hints and tips.
• The customization!  Come on, we all know we’re each different and I love that this course knows that and encourages it.
• Did I mention that it’s simple and easy?
• I really loved that I didn’t have to remember to go to the website each week and grab the next lesson, they just showed up in my inbox reminding me that it was time for the next one.
• More than homeschooling is touched on, it also touches on adding in your housekeeping chores and choosing the right curriculum
• For the new homeschooler, or the one who’s been doing it but needs help from the harried housewife homeschool mom chaos
• etc etc I really could keep going but you’d get bored reading.

As I mentioned this is online through emails.  You receive an email each week containing a PDF that you print off.  I print out these PDF’s and place them in a three ring binder with divider pages in between.  I got super high tech and just put a piece of notebook paper in between each lesson.  I know, I’m just taking this whole successful homeschooling made easy theme to a whole new level but it worked for me!

Each week you have questions and assignments to do within the lesson as well.  I just put my answers right there on the course papers.  If you’re super picky and not into making this easy then you can use other notepaper for this.  

I do want to point out here besides just in my listing above that this course is not JUST for the new homeschooler.  New homeschool moms are going to get a lot from this but so can the seasoned homeschool mom who just needs help reevaluating and rebuilding her schedule.  Don’t simply think this doesn’t apply to you because you’ve been homeschooling for years.
