About the Episode

I recently came across the concept of Time Confetti. It was mentioned to me by Luba from The Hub as we were talking about managing homeschooling and work at the same time. 

You know how much I talk about time management, so you can imagine how intrigued I was! What is time confetti and what effect does it have on us as working homeschool moms? 

On the Strike a Balance Podcast for Working Homeschool Mom this week, I chat about what time confetti is, what negative effects it has on you as a working homeschool mom, and ways for you to overcome this fractured, scattered way to spend your time.

Working homeschool mom, I know how overwhelming it can be to choose a math curriculum for your homeschool. That's why I'd like to tell you about the online math curriculum we've been using for years – CTCMath.com.

As far as math curriculums go, it has loads of great features that solve lots of the math issues we've had and I know a lot of homeschooling families have. Here are a few of the features (from the many) that we really like:

  • Questions are adaptive which means the interactive questions change in difficulty depending on the student's ability. They use a smart algorithm that tracks the student's progress and delivers questions based on their unique needs. The student doesn’t even know this is happening, helping them to build confidence and master concepts!
  • Concepts are delivered through video tutorials and summaries which are clear, complete, and easy to follow [like having your very own teacher]. This ensures your children understand something before they're asked to practise it.

And then for us parents, CTCMath has:

  • Extensive reports which are valuable in monitoring your child's progress and spotting any gaps.
  • And they offer a 12-month money-back guarantee if this curriculum is not for you and
