Homeschooling, Solo, One Day at a Time
I'm Daniel — a single dad working full time while homeschooling three kids, ages 12, 7, and 10 months. There's no second parent to tag in when the baby won't nap or two different grade levels need help at the exact same minute. This blog is where I write down what actually gets us through the day: real schedules, real curriculum picks, real space and storage fixes, and the occasional single-dad survival story, because that's part of it too.
