One of the advantages of homeschooling is planning your own schedule the way you like it. Do you like to pray the rosary, or go to daily Mass every day? It is easy to do when homeschooling. Not getting enough exercise? That can be planned into your day as well.
Over the past nine days, I’ve taken my kids on 4 bike rides, biking a total of 33 miles. This doesn’t even include all the exercise I’ve done on my own in the evenings after the youngest is asleep. I’ve had lots of health problems in the past, so taking care of myself is a top priority for me. Homeschooling gives me plenty of time for exercise, unlike when I worked a real job.
Of course, my mom likes to point out that homeschoolers don’t receive a paycheck. However, my current salary isn’t much worse than when I was a researcher at the University of Chicago!
