You made it here! And that means you have an interest in homeschool and travel, or maybe just homeschooling, or just traveling. For whatever the reason, I’m glad you’re here.
My name is Richie – it’s not short for anything. I have no idea what influenced my folks to name their baby girl “Richie” but since I’ve had it all my life, I’m cool with it.
Actually – we haven’t traveled since the initial covid breakout. And since that time, me and Scout’s crap dad got “divorced” so I’m now a single mama homeschool mama!
The kids and I still travel quite a bit, though we don’t stay at the places long-term like we used to. Which, after a few years away from your primary home, it’s really nice not to leave it so much out of the year now.
I’m just a homeschool Christian mom, who sometimes travels, and who wants to be the best mom possible for her kids. Also, I want to help other families and homeschool moms start homeschooling or even start homeschool while traveling. There weren’t many – actually, I take that back…there weren’t any – homeschool + travel information out there, which is why I started Homeschool and Humor in the first place, talking about traveling!
My primary goal is to share our family experiences with you to serve as a resource and inspiration for your family, your homeschool endeavors and inspirations, as well as your homeschool traveling adventures. Not only will you experience our life through the lens of a homeschool AND a single mom family, but you will also discover many resources and tips along the way.
Why did I make Homeschool & Humor?
Because when I first began homeschooling + traveling I couldn’t hardly find anything of USEFULNESS to help me figure out how to travel while homeschooling. Sure, there’s a few traveling families out there, but we don’t need to know what Paris is like nor the best tips on singing kumbaya with the natives while rain dancing on continents 2-7.
I just really needed to know, as a beginner travel and homeschooler, ideas on how to structure my homeschool day in a hotel room, how to best ship textbooks with the best shipping rates/boxes/shipping companies, how to organize your homeschool space within a small area, how to treat your new local scenery as homeschool field trips, and so on. Basically, I wanted some insight on how to be a domestic traveling family who also homeschools. But finding any tips on what I needed help with along those lines were impossible.
But hopefully, I will be able to fill in the holes for you, where you will be able to dive into all of the answers to those questions I just outlined above, along with many more homeschool tips, traveling hacks, meal planning shortcuts for traveling families, inspiration for the homeschool mom, and so much more.
I can pack a car in 2.6 seconds like a Tetris game. I know how to save money on meals and cook those delicious meals in tight kitchens, how to budget travel, plan for field trips, and shopping expenses, how to go on vacation even while traveling, how to raise a toddler when you’re on the road, how to best travel by car or airplane with a toddler and children, and so on.
I decided to help other moms out there and serve as not only a homeschool resource but also a traveling homeschool resource. Thus, Homeschool and Humor was born.
Why the name Homeschool & Humor?
Because life is just better with a bit of humor, don’t you think? Humor is a smile, a life, a chuckle. It’s a light-hearted moment. Seeing things on the bright side. Smiling in the face of math problems. Laughing when you’re drowning in laundry. Eyes sparkling as you look around at the beautiful mess your family’s made.
That’s humor. And our life – and your life – is filled with homeschool and humor.
Smiling and laughing through your homeschool LIFEstyle.
