The days are long but the years are short.
It often feels like the days pass by so slowly, and you are at your wits end with all of the glitter, blocks, dinosaurs, laundry, dirty dishes. You just want to sit at the table in silence for one second, while sitting there you gaze at your children playing peacefully in the middle of the room. Your youngest is talking up a storm using words that he did not know yesterday. It dawns on you that these are the fleeting moments, the little moments that we have so little of even though it seems like the day just drags on. Your heart feels a bit sucker-punched and you just want to cry as panic fills you, how many more moments like this do I have left? Am I giving them all the tools they need to be a successful adults? Am I giving them the Christ like love as a mother that will make them one to seek their safe haven when they are adults?
My hope is to provide a space of encouragement and or course, fun! Homeschooling can be hard but always the most rewarding Job and fun we could ever know as Mothers.
- Our faith filled homeschool journey, is ours. I spent a lot of time researching, reading and praying with the Lord before we made the final decision. It did help that God showed me the error of my ways by not listening to his call when we decided to go ahead and send our daughter to year 5 (a Minnesotan term) and our experience was awful.
My only hope to be able to share our journey and provide encouragement to other homeschooling mommas. To be able to connect and keep it real about the struggles and the victories!
Looking forward to connecting and sharing our journey with you all.
I know a lot of people like to name their homeschooling approach, but I really don’t have a name for mine. I am a little bit of traditional, little bit of eclectic, a little bit of Charlotte Mason and a lot of Wild and Free. My main goal is to provide our kids with a Christ Centered, well rounded education before sending them off into the world.
Give our children the chance to remain innocent and live in wonder for as long as we can.
Blessings to you all,
