Words from my heart on homeschooling, faith, anxiety and so much more.
“School’s out for summer”! It’s a perfect time to look back on what worked and what didn’t in the last school year. Another year of homeschooling at the Stewart house has come to an end.

We often begin home educating our children with a vision, or expectation of how things will go. Maybe it’s because we have already successfully educated other children, maybe it’s because we have experience in the school system, or maybe it’s based on our own time spent going to school.

Every child deserves an education and every child is capable of learning, however that looks for each individual child. Even the child that might give you an extra challenge is capable of learning, and capable of learning FROM you! This can feel next to impossible, but you can have success teaching your challenging child. Let’s be clear that “challenging” does not… Read More
Multiplication facts…a stressful tale as old as time! I remember being drilled these facts in school as a student and as a teacher. I will say, once I started teaching these facts every year they became much more engrained in my mind. I would have enjoyed these math coloring worksheets for multiplication! After my years in the classroom, I will… Read More
