One of my biggest challenges with homeschooling is finding books that are genuinely interesting while also being educational. I can’t tell you how many times we get a bunch of books from the library and all but one are duds.
Now, I know that every kid is different and likes different things. Currently, my daughter would be considered somewhere between 1st and 3rd grade, depending on the day/person you ask/subject/etc… She is an amazing reader, but we struggle to find books that interest her, though this is improving with age.
This is a list of books that we have connected with. I will continue to update this list as we find more amazing books!

When I made the decision that I was going to homeschool my daughter while also working from home for myself as a blogger and artist, a lot of people thought I was a little bit crazy. While there were some amazing people in my life who were super supportive, the majority of people thought that I was trying to do too much. I began scouring the internet looking for resources on balancing everything and I was thoroughly disappointed by the results. Most posts gave the most basic tips ever and I was consistently left wanting more. That was about a year and a half ago.
