Donna's Home Education

Last month, Donna graduated from her Primary School. After a sweet and touchy celebration, here we are now,  starting a new life as a homeschooler family.
Her main subjects are Math, Science and English. Plus her favourite subject History. And still thinking about another foreign language, either German or French. Maybe both of them :D :D 
She doesn't like Chinese language for she had to learn that language without exception during her school years. We take Singapore Math for her Math, and Cambridge curriculum for the others. And of course the online courses from Khan Academy and MOOC (from Coursera, edx, Future Learn, etc) depends on the subjects she likes.

Two boys from her primary classmates will soon join us in this learning journey, probably twice a week. So they will have "classmates" for their home education :D
I want to teach the boys how to learn independently just like Donna did for  a couple of years. They can ask me if they don't understand about the subjects and use our learning resources (internet and books) on those two days every week (their Mother, a single Mother, can't provide them all at the moment).

The rest of my time will be used for Liza's home edu process (as a Special Needs girl, she has a one on one learning style), house work (Cooking, cleaning, this one, that one... You know, it's an endless list), writing-illustrating children's book, and.... 
Well, honestly I'm not really sure how to juggle from one task to another, for each of them needs a lot of my focus and energy.
God, please help me.
