In this video, I am sharing many of our traditions for Holy Week and Easter. We are a Roman and Byzantine Catholic family, so many of our traditions are a mix of both. Please leave a comment with how you celebrate Easter!
This is a collaboration with my friend Becca Glass.

When we first started homeschooling, I completely overscheduled our family. I felt like we needed to use every curriculum, do every extracurricular activity, and constantly keep busy. It was incredibly overwhelming, especially since I had five children until nine at the time. What was I thinking?!
Here is some advice that I’ve gathered over the years to prevent this from happening again. I hope it helps you!
I have tried *many* homeschool planners over the years, and I think I finally created one that works well for our large family!
