    My Breakthrough Homeschool Life Perspective

I wrote about the new normal of my family a while ago, and since that time, things have continued to change for me. With change in a mom’s life also comes change in a child’s life. This has allowed me a chance to reflect on what matters most in life. What I’ve discovered is that book learning is the least important life lesson a child can learn, the Holy Bible being the one exception to that conclusion. 3 Homeschool Life Perspective Goals Every Christian Homeschooler Should Have I remember a while ago a lady that I…

    Dear Mom of Little Ones

    An Open Letter for the Mom of Little Ones I watch you and see that you feel overwhelmed. Being a mom to little ones can be hard, exhausting work. I know sometimes it feels as if you’ll never sleep again. I understand that you often feel alone, as if, no one truly understands how it feels. I perceive that you never imagined that this is what the day in and day out of parenting looks like.  I know sometimes you cry because you spend an entire day singing toddler songs from Disney or Nick Jr. over and over and over and over again, and again. I know you would like to have an…
