This is my fourth pregnancy. Does anyone else get visual migraines while pregnant? They look like little fuzzies going across my eyes last for about maybe 15 to 20 minutes and then when it’s done it sometimes leaves me with a headache and sometimes not. My blood pressure has always been very low when pregnant and also my doctor is aware of this. It has nothing to do with any of my blood work or anything like that either.
I feel like when it comes to me it makes complete sense that the children closer together in age would be easier to homeschool because they could do it together. Is that true or false for your family? I have four children(currently pregnant with #4), the oldest is three years older than my one year-old twins, and my one year-old twins are 23 months older than our newest baby so four total. at least the youngest three don’t you think homeschooling them would be easier cause they could kind of do it together/family style ? OR did it make it harder for you the closer?
Even if your kids aren’t that close in age, I’ve heard of curriculums out there that specifically have the children do work together.
Hey! Looking for some feedback. Has anyone used any of these curriculums and like them dislike them or could give me any feedback on them? Thinking of doing these next year in a really loose schedule with our four-year-old.

I need some help/guidance. I don’t want to over share but I also want to give some background. We are a young family. Our oldest is turning 4 in July and we have twins that just turned one in April. I plan to homeschool all of our children. The only “school” our oldest had was a tots program from age 2 to 3 and is a very bright child. I’d say he knows everything a 4 year old should. I want to start something formal this upcoming school year, he will just be turning 4 this summer. He was going to be enrolled in another tots program, but we decided on homeschooling & are very excited about it. I am feeling a bit of pressure to start something formal so I don’t look bad by waiting. I haven’t told extended family that our plan is to homeschool the kids, but I feel like it would look a lot better to have some type of formal plan in place when I do announce it here soon. I basically have two “practice years” i guess you could say of preschool before I have to register him for school here in Pennsylvania. (Age 6) Please give me some curriculum suggestions for this upcoming year as he will be 4 that would correlate good with the following year him turning 5 and then the year after that him turning 6 and starting kindergarten. (I’m worried about choosing a curriculum and then the next school year starting in having a bunch of repetition or bunch of things that are way too far advanced for us. Are there any that just flow through each year perfectly?) Or should I not do anything with him at all? I’m seeing post of other kids His age may be a little older, recognizing some words, knowing how to read. In the stage of my life if I don’t plan it in it’s not naturally going to happen it seems like a lot of the homeschool vibe is just learning through everyday life and don’t get me wrong He does but not to that extent.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that one of my friends recommended me Treehouse School House curriculum
