Homeschool Happenings
Hello and welcome back NEO Homeschoolers! Can you believe it's May already? For us, that means birthday preparations for our daughter, Maureen - she turns 4 this year... crazy! - and of course, beginning to make some summer plans. Have you started your summer bucket list yet? I know Maureen is adamant about seeing fireworks again this year and having lots of beach play dates with her besties. Personally, I'm looking forward to spending time outdoors at playgrounds, going to the zoo with friends, and hopefully getting some quality family time in this summer. If you're still figuring out what's on your summer bucket list, I'm here to help with May's homeschool happenings post! I'm a bit behind this month - living on infant time over here, haha - but I'll do my best to get as many events as possible for y'all. Ready? Here. We. Go!!

Well, I'd say May has a lot to offer homeschoolers! From family days to homeschool centered events to outdoor exploration... May has every taste for adventure covered. As I said at the beginning, I am running behind this month, so I apologize for any inconvenience when it comes to scheduling these adventures. All right, that's all for me. I'm off to mom life, homeschool prep, and housework. Thanks for reading, and see you back here soon!! 😄
