The Homeschooling Dad

I’m a husband to one wife and a dad to six children. I like to spend time with my family, read, explore, sing, play music, go on long drives, watch old tv shows, dream, and of course homeschool my kids. Follow along on our adventures and maybe learn something along the way. I want to change people’s perspectives about dads homeschooling, while encouraging and equipping homeschool dads (and moms). My posts will be broad, from snippets of a day in the life as a homeschooling dad, recipes for feeding a large family, jokes about social media, photography from trips, book reviews, and who knows what else. Check back often, this is just the beginning, be sure to follow me on Instagram for more frequent updates and posts.

This guide is full of fun illustrations! The kids will enjoy it and learn at the same time. It is comprehensively broad, could use more detail in some places, but a great introduction to bushcraft.

Since my last art post was my most popular post in recent history, I decided to show some more art that we saw.

Join us today as we continue museum week here at @thehomeschoolingdad
