Navigating Homeschooling

And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children... ― Deuteronomy 6:6-7

Educating the Heart, Soul, and Mind

No life can be more fulfilled than a life submitted to God.

Who Am I?

I am a Pastor’s wife, author, and second-generation homeschooler, and most important, I’m a child of the King. In 2003, I graduated from West Coast Baptist College with a BA in Secondary Education. My views on homeschooling and education are a reflection of a Biblical worldview, but I believe that what I share can be beneficial to homeschoolers of all backgrounds. Like all homeschoolers, I juggle a wide range of responsibilities along with homeschooling my four children. I am not perfect, infallible, or the ultimate authority on homeschooling. However, I have the advantage of being homeschooled since first grade, which is what I mean by “second-generation.” I can look back on what I experienced as a homeschooled child to help me better homeschool my own children. That is not to say I’m “better,” but simply have a unique perspective, being able to learn from my mom’s “mistakes.” To her credit, she had a much harder job. She was a pioneer, and I’m reaping the benefits of territory she already conquered. What she has given me, I hope to pass down to others who are navigating the sometimes murky waters of homeschooling for the first time.

Homeschooling gives us the ability to take that time back for our kids. Teaching the academics at home doesn’t take half the time they spend in public school. And once upon a time before public schools, parents taught the basics of academics to their kids. Schools were reserved for higher learning. ... See MoreSee Less

We are supposed to get a little rain today. We need the rain, so I won’t complain, but I think it should be cleared up by tonight. Who else is hoping to see the lunar eclipse tonight? ... See MoreSee Less
