Welcome Back to Homeschool
We can’t create space for traditional school subjects to be loved by children until we help them to be meaningful to children.
My sweet friends: the terrifying adventure begins!
What kind of wild line of reasoning did you follow to choose THIS life? The full responsibility for your children’s education? The audacious (self-aggrandizing) belief that YOU were capable of providing this education? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?
Homeschooling never matches the fantasy in your head. It’s so frustrating and scary!
That’s because learning at home JUST WON’T SIT STILL! It’s like life has this way of interfering with that Oh So Important Education you would give your darlings at the table in the workbooks if they would STOP LEARNING ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE!
A Meaningful Life Now
Your homeschool will be completely unique because it will be YOUR lives, braided together on an adventure to LEARN—not to get through and get done, not to check boxes (though by all means check some if you need to for your sanity). Our goal is a meaningful life now, not just one we prepare for at a future date.
Lean in, trust the process and know this: every so often, you hit a wall of entropy and have to reinvent your homeschool a little bit. It’ll be okay. That’s how it works!
Hang on to your hats! I’m rooting for you BIG TIME!
