Rolling Up My Sleeves During Spring Break

Friday, March 31, 2023 (Updated: Thursday, June 25, 2026)

Post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure statement.

Caroline and I finished up her schoolwork yesterday and are now on spring break until April 10. We’ll be staying home during this time.

(Fun fact: I’ve never been anywhere on spring break which I imagine is highly unusual for someone who has lived her entire life in the snowy north.)




I have a few goals for the rest of this week and next week.

  • One, spend time on homeschool documentation and planning for the next few months.
  • Two, organize my kitchen.
  • Three, “catch up” on my two websites.

The third one comes with a bit of warning. You might feel inundated with new posts on both of my websites. It’s not my goal to overwhelm people with content, but to clear out the back end of my websites.

Last night I posted a few dozen older posts on this website. I hope to clear out the backlog of both older posts I’m republishing and new posts that are partially finished. Yesterday I uploaded the new versions of my editable homeschool planners which was a big task off our to do list. Last year we didn’t get them updated until June so we are way ahead of the game this year!

These are ambitious plans, but that’s what I’m hoping to do!

What are you doing with your spring break? Did you already have it? Is it next week? I hope you’ll leave a comment and share. ♥

    We don’t usually take a spring break but I’m now thinking we should do one this year, when the weather is less like winter and more like spring.

    The first plants were poking up in the garden last week, and then we got a bit of a thunderstorm, immediately followed by 5 inches of wet snow. We had a couple of tree branches down, and were blessed to not lose power.

    The older children have been doing spring cleaning and rearranging in their rooms, and both they and I are very pleased with the results.
