Homeschooling Journey

THIS. This is what makes it all worth it.

If you’ve followed my blog since the beginning (or close to it) you know our long, rather complicated schooling journey.

From a Waldorf school we loved to reluctant homeschoolers due to wanting a Waldorf education but moving a state away from said Waldorf school.

I struggled immensely with schooling my oldest – her strong-will coupled with my self-doubt was a recipe for disaster.

There were many days I felt like throwing in the towel and calling the nearest public school but something always held me back.

We added two more children to our schooling lessons (and a crazy baby/toddler that wants all attention on him), moved two times more to two different states and somehow our homeschooling carried on.

Dare I say we actually even started liking it?

There are still days that make me want to throw in the towel and I will probably never be that homeschooling mother that gushes about how easy and perfect homeschooling is, but I am so very thankful that I get to spend every hour of every day with all my children.

As we all know, time is fleeting and before I know it my children will be grown and off on their own. I don’t want to miss a moment with them due to fears and self-doubt.

I came on here just to share this beautiful beeswax sculpture of the Ingalls family that C presented to me on the last day of school (we incorporated Playful Pioneers into our school year) along with a handmade card from K that made me cry.

Instead I ended up typing a novel! Anyways, mamas if you struggle with schooling just know it gets better!! I can vouch for that! You got this!!
