The word ‘homeschool’ used to make my mind want to explode.
I loved the idea of it.
But, I was scared of the reality of it.
I wanted to try it out, but honestly didn’t think I could.
I do, after all, have four little kids, a business to run and a home to manage, not to mention everything else in between.
So when my then-six-year-old looked up at me with those big brown eyes last September and asked, “Mommy, can I do school at home?”, I just knew in my heart that this new adventure was about to begin. Now, nearly a whole school year later and knowing this is God-led, I am so over-the-moon-incredibly-excited about this whole ‘homeschooling adventure.’
It is AMAZING! I am COMPLETELY 100% sold on this whole, incredible journey!
What an *awesome* privilege to school my girls together this way … and what I’m realizing is …
“Education is an atmosphere, a discipline, a Life …”
whether it’s on a recent field trip to a science museum …
{which was the coolest place EVER!}
… to learning and discovering together …
to quiet days at home, spending time reading to the little sisters …
or learning to write their letters in flour …
even to taking breaks and bonding with the new baby in the house …
…. I definitely see how this home education is perfect for our little family. I know not everyone approves, nor does everyone understand why I am doing what I’m doing … but *I* know why and I know God approves and that … quite honestly …. is what counts in the long run.
