Products I actually use...
If you're interested in what homeschool curriculum we use, homemaking items, and any other product I love and use regularly, you can check here. I'd love to tell you why it works for us and hopefully it will be a good tool for your family to use as well! I do earn a commission off of some of these items (at NO cost to you), but I use these items in real life and I only promote something I ALREADY use and love.
Essential Oil Diffuser
I keep this on my kitchen island and run it almost every single day. It's great because it has a couple different settings (intermittent, timed, constant), an auto off feature, high/low settings, and a snazzy light with a bunch of colors to choose from (that is my children's favorite feature)! It works great, comes with a remote, and promotes a peaceful atmosphere in our home...which is a big selling point for this mama of four! You can get your own here: https://amzn.to/49WKa0C
Bread Baking Kit
I bake bread for my family and friends almost every single day. I will talk your ear off about sourdough. Let me just say, this is a GREAT set to get you started with everything you will possibly need for baking bread except the ingredients (and maybe a pizza stone or a dutch oven). Proofing baskets, a danish whisk, a lame for scoring, even a bread sling - plus more! I have been happily baking with this set for awhile. Check it out here: https://amzn.to/3v0h9Cj
MasterBooks History Curriculum
We have LOVED using MasterBooks Curriculum from Answers in Genesis the past few years of homeschooling. In particular, we love the history curriculum as it tends to lean more toward the Charlotte Mason style of learning - which works really well for my children who are big on reading and experiencing the world around them. Check out ALL of their curriculum on the AiG website or here on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3SWrOpy
MasterBooks Science Curriculum
This science curriculum worked so well for my antsy, quite possibly ADHD, first grader. It's extremely interactive with short lessons, experiments that don't require a big budget or being a brainiac to orchestrate, and engagement in many different ways. So if your kid isn't excited about one style of learning presented in the book, there's always the next day which is totally different! It quickly became my son's favorite subject because of this particular curriculum! Get it on AiG or here on Amazon: https://amzn.to/49Z4JJF
Guess in 10 Game
We have a few versions of Guess in 10, all of them are great, but this one in particular was a hit with my four year old daughter and my eight year old son. It's educational so they are "doing school" without even realizing it (win!) and we are having a good time together as a family - the more positive experiences I can build with my kiddos, the better.

THE Homeschool Planner
Oh my goodness! I have recommended this planner to EVERY homeschooling mama I know! I've been using it for four years now, a new one each year, and it has been such an invaluable tool for our family. Keep track of your reading, your schedule, your goals (spiritual, habits, educational, relational, and more), plan field trips, and so much more. Other than curriculum, it's the BEST investment in homeschooling I make each year. Get one here: https://amzn.to/48FWBg7
