Hi Friends! I am a homeschooling Momma to my 2 children and have been homeschooling for 3 years. When I started out 3 years ago I thought I knew what I was doing, and went full speed ahead. Oh. how I wish I could go back and change so much about that year! In a very short time I realized what I was doing was not working. It was not working for myself but mostly for my daughter. I had taken on too much and expected too much from her. I thought I had to fill some imaginary gap since she was not enrolled in traditional school. I needed to break away from this lie and embrace who we were as homeschoolers.

I am an idealist and so therefore when I don’t know something I seek out the wisdom of others who have walked this road before me. Not just anyone, but purposefully I seek out those who love the Lord and are wise, people I would take advice from and not just anyone. I was very blessed to immediately find a Wild & Free group in Richmond and it was during that meeting I met some of my best friends. Women who would love on us, feed my soul with knowledge and wisdom We shared our struggles, wins and of course our curriculums.

It is because of them and a handful of others that I am the mother and teacher I am today. And it is because of the books I read, the podcasts I listen to, the God I serve and the people I surround myself with that I will continue to grow, fail and thrive. Homeschooling is not easy but it is worth it.

One thing I love so much about homeschooling is the growth in my own life. How I have been able to nurture learning and my love of nature with my children. I learn so much from my children, our discoveries and what we learn

I look forward to sharing our curriculum failures and successes.

Let’s do this friends!
