Words from my heart on homeschooling, faith, anxiety and so much more.
Hello friends, I have been having so many awesome chats in my messages lately with people who are inquiring about homeschool, deciding to homeschool, or just looking for advice and encouragement as they homeschool. With so many people looking to join this growing homeschool movement, I thought it might be a good idea to have one post answering your most… Read More
Something that is often overlooked as a benefit of homeschooling is the opportunity for learning with your kids. I wouldn’t say I was someone who loved school as a child. Well, I loved talking to my friends and being around people! But I wouldn’t say I loved the learning aspect of school. History was by far my least favourite subject… Read More
When I began this blog many years ago, it’s purpose was to share my heart about homeschooling and encourage other homeschool moms.

I can’t come up with catchy titles and I don’t have the skill of taking pretty photos so I let that deter me from writing. I have the knowledge and content in my… Read More
It happens to us all. Things go bad. Maybe you wake up earlier than you wanted to the sound of whiny or grumpy kids. Maybe you miss your alarm. Maybe you spill your morning coffee. Maybe school starts off ok but everyone ends up frustrated and in tears. Maybe the kids cannot focus on the learning activities you are trying… Read More
What weird times we are living in these days aren’t they friends. I’ve started and stopped so many blog posts and instagram posts over the last few weeks because I am just not sure how to be helpful.
