When it’s discovered that I homeschool, I inevitably get the comment, “You must have a lot of patience.” This could be furthest from the truth—I move fast and I expect my people to move fast as well. Homeschooling, by it’s nature has taught me much about the day to day working out of patience, but…
YOUR LIFE HAS PURPOSE! God can use you in a mighty way! I remember thinking that being a stay at home mom, wife, and homeschool teacher was not important. Satan use to make me feel so inadequate and like my life had no real purpose, then God showed me that He was doing mighty…
Why should we make quiet time a priority? Are there any Moms out there today who are pulling their hair out yet? Are the kids running through the house fighting, complaining about being bored, begging you to let them spend the day in front of the computer, crying because their friends can’t come…
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11 I didn’t expect to be a homeschooling mom. It wasn’t something I dreamt about or had any plans to pursue. I assumed that my children would…

My heart’s been broken, strengthened, healed, and broken again many times through these homeschooling years. Homeschooling has been a heart journey towards learning, living, and loving each other. I put together an acrostic based on the word, HEART, because the lessons I’ve learned from these five words have helped me love my family better.…
Some prefer spring and still others summer and I know there are a few that prefer winter, but I prefer fall above all. The crisp days and blue, blue skies fill my heart with child-like wonder. The colors of the trees as the they make the transition from green to yellow to gold…
Education is more interesting when we implement activities that feed our children’s souls. This is the beauty of homeschooling. So how do we help our kids discover their interests? This is how – We spend hours upon hours watching and listening. We explore life together by going places and meeting others. We provide stimulating material…
Do you struggle when your kids have a hard time learning something? Well you shouldn’t.
