A Muslim homeschool blog to help Mothers simplify, manage and focus on what matters.
Asalamu’alaykum ladies, we’re onto our final post in the homeschool planning series; our routine. I remember when I first began homeschooling, putting a routine together was the thing I usually went for first.

Asalamu’alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu ladies, how are you?

Asalamu’alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu ladies, I’m sat here, with my reheated (I’ve lost how many times) coffee, and a list of IGCSE questions I’m helping my teens through.
