About Living Life and Learning

Imagine sitting down for a lesson and your child is actually excited to get started.

No complaints.
No battles.
Just curiosity and a willingness to learn.

That’s the kind of learning experience I want to help you create.

Teaching your kids can feel overwhelming sometimes. Maybe you’re introducing a brand-new topic, searching for activities that hold their attention, or wondering if you’re explaining things the “right” way.

I’ve been there, too.

Living Life and Learning started as a place to share the activities I created while homeschooling my own children. What began with a love of teaching science has grown into a library of more than 2,500+ educational articles and printable resources for parents, homeschoolers, teachers, tutors, and caregivers.

Whether you’re planning an entire homeschool week or just need a quick activity for the afternoon, my goal is to help make learning fun, meaningful, and easier to prepare.

Why Families Trust Living Life and Learning

Monique at Living Life and Learning

Hi, I’m Monique Boutsiv, the creator of Living Life and Learning.

I started this website to share the activities and lessons I created while homeschooling my own children. Over the years, it has grown into a library of more than 2,500+ educational articles and printable resources used by parents, teachers, homeschoolers, tutors, and caregivers.

I create resources for preschool, kindergarten, and elementary-aged children, covering topics like science, STEM, Bible learning, seasonal themes, reading, math, and more. Every printable is designed to be easy to use, engaging for kids, and simple to fit into your day.

My goal has always been the same: to help families and educators spend less time planning and more time enjoying meaningful learning together.

I had to smile when I read your email; it touched my heart. ~ T.C.

Thank you! I needed to hear this! I often struggle with the same doubts and questions rolling around in my head. It takes another homeschooling mom to know the answers and understand the daily dynamics. I appreciate your kind words of encouragement.  ~ M.S.
