We are excited to feature Big Life Journal on our blog and would like to offer you a chance to win a $50.00 gift card to Big Life Journal, a $50.00 gift card to our shop Habitat Schoolhouse as well as a few other goodies!

Because we wanted to put the finishing touches on the curriculum and it took a little longer than anticipated, we weren't able to get the physical copies ready in time for you to start your school year in September. We know many of you have been anxiously waiting for the physical copy but want to start the school year right now in September. SO, we want to give you two months of lessons for free so that you can get started with our lessons right away and begin your new school year. This way you can work through the lessons while your physical copy is being printed and shipped then continue on once your physical copy arrives.

September 2nd marks five full months for Habitat Schoolhouse. This month we hit a ton of goals that I am so excited to share with you!

Today, August 2nd marks four full months for Habitat Schoolhouse. This month has been so great for learning a lot about how business works and networking with a few fantastic other businesses in a similar homeschooling niche.  I love looking back and comparing last month to this month. As last month we hit 600 sales in total since the start of May and now we're closing in on 1 thousand sales!  

Today I'm writing about managing difficult moments and having our children thrive. It's no secret that parenting can be difficult at times. Over the course of this summer I've spent sometime for reading about children's behaviors and how their brains work and develop. One of the books I am finishing up this week is called The Whole-Brain Child. This post isn't a full review  of the book because it touches on too many important points for one single blog post, but it did touch on something in particular that I wanted to share. 

Today I'm writing about play. Do you play with your kids? Are you a playful parent? Here’s why play is so important for our children and can even help prevent tantrums and bad behavior.
