This week’s homeschool finds came straight from… Costco. 😄📚
I love mixing traditional curriculum with affordable, out-of-the-ordinary resources, and Costco actually had some great optional additions for our homeschool shelf this week.

Reusable workbooks, puzzles, science layers books, history reads — little things that keep learning fun, visual, and hands-on.
Homeschooling doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated… sometimes the best finds are in the places you least expect. 💛

Follow along as I turn this into a weekly (or bi-weekly!) series of homeschool finds from different stores, local shops, and hidden gems.

Life as a homeschool mama + Minnesota Realtor means no two days ever look the same. 🏡✨

It’s a beautiful mix of family, freedom, and flexibility — and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Follow along for more Minnesota living, homeschool adventures, and real estate tips from a mama who does it all.
