Doing Creative Work While Raising Kids

In addition to being a homeschooling mom, I'm also a certified book coach. Last week, I was a guest contributor for a writing community called DIYMFA. You can read "5 Ways to Include Your Children in Your Writing Life This Summer" here.​

This article draws on my experience as a writer, book coach, and homeschooling mom. While it is addressed to writers, it holds a lot of relevance for homeschoolers as well, since it includes various tips to incorporate more creativity, reading, and writing into your family life.

If you are a different type of creative (artist, musician, crafter, etc.), you can take the principles and apply them to your own area of interest. The main concept is to try incorporating your parenting life with your work and/or hobbies instead of always trying to segment them.

I hope it gives you some ideas, and as homeschoolers, you can apply them all year long, instead of just this summer :)
