Education…Unleashed

Hello!

Hi, I’m Kay!
Weirdly domestic homeschooling, work from home mom of 3. When not wiping noses, playing taxi, or washing a never-ending pile of laundry, I spend stolen moments in the bathroom reading as much as I can and drinking heavily reheated butter coffee.

  • The Library Card Benefits You Aren’t Using

    Raise your hand if you have a library card. I thought so. Most homeschoolers do, of course. However, are you using your library card to its full potential? Most card-holders aren’t. Library card benefits include borrowing wagon-fulls of books and other media every few weeks, but what else might you be missing? Does your library offer free classes? Ours has…

Trying to get work done with a toddler losing thei Trying to get work done with a toddler losing their sh*t behind you is HARD! Add in helping a child learn to read and discussing algebraic equations with a teen and it gets HARDER! But it isn't impossible...🙌 I have deadlines, but the beauty in flexibility is that when the entire house is sick -- like it was last week -- I can hit "pause" without affecting my income. I have been each ones of these kinds of #virtualassistant -- because finding out what I did best was a bit like feeling around in the dark. Landing on being 'The Techie' was probably a given from the start by any and everyone that knew me -- though I tried to run from it for years. What do you think you'd be best at? The very first day of my Moms in a Hurry 5-Day Challenge will help you discover what services you want to offer, and to who! Have you signed up yet? Click the link in my bio to learn more!
If @folgers wasn't SPOT ON with this commercial 🤣🤣🤣 I'm not going to lie, sometimes working from home with kids is a HOT MESS. My clients have seen and heard both the littles. They've heard the dogs bark and the gardener under the window I sit next to. But I wouldn't change any of it for the world. I've been able to pick and choose clients that understand what I do, why I do it, and what that means for our communications. We foster great relationships and many of them have their own kids running around in the background too, now (#thanksCovid). I keep thinking back to the news caster who's kids, followed by his wife, barrelled into the an interview while he was live on the air a couple years back. A ton of people had a lot of not so nice things to say about his lack of "professionalism"....I'm wondering if 2020 has those people eating their words yet? 🤔
This is what #homeschooling in December looks like This is what #homeschooling in December looks like.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Playing: Noggin is their jam.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Reading: The Basque Dragon⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Watching: Old Holiday claymation shows⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Singing: Mariah Carey on repeat⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Eating: 18 kinds of soups & chilis⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Drinking: Hot-Cocoa on tap⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sleeping: Under 50 blankets⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Burning: At least 4 logs a day⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Crafting: Random sculptures out of pipe cleaners and construction paper⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What are your days looking like?
I don't really like #chocolate. It tastes like cha I don't really like #chocolate. It tastes like chalk.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I had the opportunity yesterday to take an online truffle-making class (you wouldn't believe how EASY it is!) with an amazing group of women that I work with -- lead by the really kind Roni-Sue of @ronisuechocolates.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After the year we've had, it was really nice to be able to take some time for something fun, that wasn't focused on work.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I ended up dropping a spoonful of chocolate in my coffee (because coffee) that was really good, but the rest of the house made quick work of devouring the fruits of my labor. They asked if there was more, so I take it that means it was good. So if you're not a weirdo, like me, and DO like chocolate, I definitely recommend getting together with friends for this class.
"Missing These Moments Monday"...is that a thing?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm making it a thing.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is one of my favorite pictures of my kids. It was over 4 years ago. Getting a decent shot out of these kids was (and still is) like herding a sack of cats 😩 By the end, I was sweating, the photographer was visibly frazzled, and the people waiting for their appointment had seen my naked toddler at least twice between outfit changes.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As parents we try and capture these perfectly posed moments in time every year -- even though life's reality is a blurry 2yo and screaming infant. Why?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well....Because here it is, nearly 5 years later, and well...these babies aren't babies any more. I miss these squishy faces..the current ones are lean, with cheekbones and adult sized teeth. In this photo, they get to stay little.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #Warriors4Lyfe #StayHyphy #YayArea
