Hey hey from California! 🌞 We just spent a full 14-hour day traveling across the US to visit family and I wanted to share some of our favorite low-tech activities for all that wait and fly time. It might feel a little overwhelming, but with a bit of preparation, trips by airplane can actually be a meaningful and memorable experience for the whole family. Airports and travel days are full of opportunities to teach children about patience, following directions, cooperating with others, and building resilience. And once you’re in the air? It doesn’t have to be screens on repeat- flight time can be rich with fun, learning, and connection. In today’s blog post, I’m sharing my go-to tips and favorite screen-free activities that keep my kids happily engaged in the skies. These simple ideas can turn travel days into intentional family time. Comment “AIRPLANE” and I’ll send you the blog post + links to all our favorite travel finds on Amazon!

Around my house, you may often hear me say, “It’s not Mama’s job to figure out what you do with your free time. That’s your job and what a privilege and joy that is! If you need help figuring it out, I have some chores I need done.” 🙃 They’ll figure out something- and quick. 😆 Children (and really all of us) could use a little boredom to encourage imaginative play and to pursue creative endeavors. What this looks like for us is me not entertaining them, minimizing screen time, offering open-ended toys, and giving them lots of margin in our routine for free play and discovery. While I do intentionally set our environment and offer ideas throughout the day, I don’t have activities planned out for them very often at all. I will jump in and help get their creativity going, but then I walk away and encourage them to keep the play or creating going. Is this you too? What creative endeavors or play are your children wrapped up in today? Comment PLAY to get a list of my top toys for open-ended play. 🙌🏻

A slow evening after-dinner walk… the kids lingering behind to look at bugs, unhurried conversations, shared laughter. There’s something sacred about walking together as a family with no distractions. Kids seem to open up so much more when walking side by side, rather than staring and looking at each other. Have you found this to be true? ✨ Want to feel more connected as a family? Try a slow walk after dinner. Not to mention, it regulates blood sugar and helps kids (and mama) sleep better! A tip: Save the dishes for when you get home. Have one parent do bedtime and the other catch up on clean up. #FamilyRhythms #SlowLiving #IntentionalParenting #TreehouseSchoolhouse #EveningWalks #PresenceOverPerfection #HeartConnected

We aren’t just looking for external behavior change, the goal is true heart change- and that takes time and patience, as children grow in their relationship with Jesus. Simply requiring external behavior change won’t connect to their hearts and the change won’t last. Teaching children about love, joy, peace, and the other fruits of the Spirit isn’t just about memorization; it’s about introducing them to the One who changes hearts and watching Him work in them. The fruits of the Spirit are a beautiful and essential part of a Christian life, offering a blueprint for how believers are called to live. But how do you translate profound concepts like “patience” or “self-control” into something tangible for little hearts and minds? Today’s blog post is filled with 40+ creative, hands-on ideas to bring Galatians 5:22-23 to life in your home—plus a free week of our Flourish Family Bible Curriculum to help you get started. Comment FRUIT and I will send you the link!

She’s 10. He’s her dad. And they’ve been planning and training for a hike through all of Georgia on the Appalachian Trail. It’s more than just a big adventure. It’s a shared goal. A shared hobby. It’s intentional time, off the grid, in the woods, side by side. It’s overcoming conflict, solving problems, and building their relationship, one step at a time. Have you ever been backpacking? Comment BACKPACKING and I’ll send you the blog post my husband wrote about why backpacking is such a fantastic way to build connection and character in our kids. #intentionalparenting #raisingwholekids #appalachiantrail #dadanddaughter #familyadventures #homeschoollife

Here’s to the moms who made it through the homeschool year… not because it was easy, but because they had someone to process every twist and turn with. 😅 It’s not about having it all together, it’s about remembering the “why” & having someone who will remind you of that. My closest friends and husband walked me through so many doubts this past year. You know who you are! 😂 Tag your homeschool bestie who heard all the doubts, cheered you on anyway, and made the hard days lighter. ☕📚

Let’s talk deschooling! Deschooling is the transition process that children and parents go through when they leave the school system to begin homeschooling. Public school or virtual homeschooling through the school system & homeschooling are two totally different worlds. 🌎 Deschooling helps you reset what you believe about education and gives you and your child a fresh start. Give yourself and your children TIME. Give yourself and your children SPACE. Build a strong foundation. The homeschool police won’t be showing up at your door if you take weeks or months to slowly transition in. Focus on learning about methods of education, on your relationship and connection with your children, on slow living, on exploring the outdoors, on following your child’s passions, and on learning what makes your child come alive. Take a breath, enjoy the journey. 🥰 Comment DESCHOOOLING and I will send you my blog post: Deschooling: What, Why, and How? Are you a new homeschool mom with children coming from public school this upcoming year? Tell me in the comments. Share this to remind any friends who are! #homeschooling #deschooling #unschool #schoolathome

When I reflect on this past school year, these were some of the top books and resources that brought the most joy! 1. @hoffmanacademy - My two sons loved taking their online piano lessons. Mr. Hoffman is like an uncle to them now. 😆 2. Treehouse Book Studies is probably #1 this past year. These read alouds and coordinating projects brought so much fun and connection to our home this year for all ages. Especially the ones shown, but we enjoyed so many! 3. Pathway Readers- My 5 & 6 year olds took off in their reading this year and loved these wholesome, sweet easy readers. 4. @beautifulfeetbooks Early American History- My oldest two children loved the read alouds and lessons through this study this year (and so did I!) 5. An Expectant Easter- Even though we’ve done this study for years, it was extra special this year bringing the younger two children into it and making new memories, centered on Christ.

There are so many messages our culture hands us about what life should or will look like—about motherhood, womanhood, success, homeschooling, and raising kids. But somewhere along the way, I started questioning those messages. Instead of just blindly believing what the world calls “normal,” I am choosing something slower… more intentional… more connected. Also, matcha? 😝🫣 What do you think of these messages? Agree? Disagree? #treehouseschoolhouse #slowparenting #intentionalmotherhood #homeschoollife #familydiscipleship #redefiningsuccess #counterculturalparenting

So many people think that homeschooling is just about curriculum and worksheets…but we’ve found it’s about something much deeper. It’s about learning through life, side by side. It’s about inviting your children into the real work of life- relationships, business, work ethic, creativity, faith, emotional health, and so much more. #treehouseschoolhouse #homeschoollife #charlottemasonirl #wholehearteducation #faithfulmotherhood #homeeducation #slowchildhood
