Why I Don’t Regret Homeschooling

  Why I Don’t Regret Homeschooling A question was posed to me the other day while at my six-month dental cleaning that caused me to consider why I don’t regret homeschooling. The hygienist mentioned to my dentist that, with my youngest entering his senior year, I was about to complete my final year of homeschooling.

Pick Up Joy

Have you thought about the difference between joy and happiness? Happiness is the reaction to something great. For a Christian, joy is the product of Someone great. You can have joy even when your life is in shambles and you are facing an uncertain future. Because you know WHO has your future in His hands.

What About When You Feel Like A Failure?

  What’s a Mama to do when you feel like a failure? I have a funny feeling that this resonates with way too many of us. I’ve been struggling lately with it, and I have to say, it’s NOT fun! You probably know those feelings all too well also: the depression, the exhaustion, the complete

  Hey Mama, I heard you are drowning. You thought you were going to wake up and start a fresh new day, lots would get done, and you’d go to bed tonight content that so much was accomplished. It’s not looking that way, though, and the day is already underway and moving too fast. Your

Redeeming the Rough Homeschool Day

  We can all agree that rough homeschool days happen. Sometimes they occur more often than we’d like. When we encounter chaotic days or seasons of life, homeschooling can take a hit and we’re left feeling “behind the curve.” Don’t despair! There is hope, and all is not lost. Even the roughest of homeschool days
