Hey there, homeschool mama! We hope you and your family are having an amazing summer so far! For many of us, summer is full of fun and camps and kid-led learning (and maybe finishing up a few textbooks). However, it is also the perfect time to start thinking about ways to help your child make friends, connections, and find some new ways to “socialize” throughout the upcoming homeschool year.

Over the next few months, we’ll be sharing an Ultimate List of Ways to Socialize for each of the following age categories: Littles, Middles, and Bigs! Today is all about the Littles!

I know Valentine’s Day is nearly a month away, but if you’re anything like me – a procrastinator – and you want to plan a party for your homeschool group or a small group of friends, consider this a friendly reminder to start thinking about it now. I usually start thinking about it around February 7. I don’t recommend that approach.

We haven’t done a homeschool Valentine’s Day party in several years, but when my kids were younger, they used to love our annual gathering, which started with just a small group of friends and grew larger each year.

15+ Picture Books I’m Saving for the Grandkids

Are your children old enough yet that you are starting to stockpile things for your future grandkids? I kept a few of my daughters’ and son’s clothes, a few favorite toys (including an old toy barn that probably every American kid in existence has had at one time or another), and even a few teething toys and rattles they all loved when they were babies.

Then, there are the books. I’ve got a collection that I can’t wait (well, okay, I can wait) to read to my grandkids someday.
