Homeschooling is...

When I was writing my homeschool day in the life post, one draft included a few "homeschooling is" statements that eventually got removed and now turned into their own post below. Homeschooling has been a big part of my life for the past 11 years or so. It is fun to reflect, celebrate, and share what I have learned, although I do want to acknowledge that all educational choices are valid and have their own pros and cons. Homeschooling just happens to be the one God has called our family to and I love it!


Homeschooling is...
Always changing
Being present for your child's best moments and their worst moments
A test of patience
Never knowing when to comfort and when to push
Making lots of decisions, often before it is clear how your previous decision turned out
Being available but not hovering
Dealing with strengths and weaknesses
Never being caught up on housework
Always preparing food
Flexible
Following our passions
Beautiful
Busy
Enlightening
Sharing things I enjoy with one of my favorite people in the whole world
Freedom



My daughter, Ash, and I traveled to my parents' house 
for spring break and got to help with maple syrup season!

  1. I like how you distilled some homeschooling experiences and shared photos of distilling sap into syrup. Your homeschooling journey inspired mine!
