Words from my heart on homeschooling, faith, anxiety and so much more.
I talk about community all the time! I am so thankful for the community we have built in all the different places we have had the pleasure to live in for a period of time. I know how important it is to be in community and I know how much more deeply that is built when you open up the… Read More
If you know me, you know that I am a big advocate for finding what works for you in homeschool. I frequently say that the beauty of homeschool is that no two families have to do it the same way. I do think it is our responsibility as our child’s educators to make sure they have the basic skills required… Read More
I think a common myth for homeschooling is that you need to have your day scheduled out such as a public school classroom would do. No one loves a good schedule as much as I do, but I also like to complete a task and get I frazzled when I feel too rushed. Due to this, trying to do math… Read More
I have been studying along in the book of Joshua for the last 9 weeks and lately I have been finding parts of it really hitting me hard. Last winter I did an amazing study with a group of friends that focused a lot on the book of Exodus. I had such incredible breakthrough with my anxiety during that study… Read More
Regardless of if you are a new or seasoned homeschooler, the first few weeks of a new homeschool year can be unpredictable. Perhaps you are adding new students or curriculum, but even if you aren’t, your kids are getting older so you are teaching a grade you haven’t taught before! This can cause homeschooling parents to become discouraged and frustrated… Read More

This doesn’t really translate well into the wonderful world of parenting though does it. Let’s imagine for a second what that might look like if it did: You… Read More
It’s August and time is dwindling before the start of school is upon us, maybe for some of you it already is! Most homeschooling moms are in the throws of finalizing curriculum and resources for the school year right now (if you haven’t already). If you are a first time homeschooling mom, I want to give you some tips on… Read More
Whelp, it’s August. In some ways that seems crazy to me and in other ways I feel like we have been on break from school FOREVER! We stopped doing anything consistenly after May long as that is when the fires started and we were done completely by the second week in June. I like to take a true break for… Read More
Wow, I’ve been missing for a while! It turns out it is hard to keep up a blogging schedule during the summer while also having a brand new puppy! I shared flip through of these books on my instagram stories but I want to share still photos with you here in a post for anyone else wondering about either of… Read More
Let’s just go ahead and start out by saying none of us want to talk about this, myself included. I would rather bury my head in the sand and assume my sweet little daughters will never encounter “bad people”, “bad touch” or “bad pictures”. And, Lord willing, that will be true! I will pray to that end daily until I… Read More
