5 tips for homeschooling newbies:

Hi Friends, A few weeks ago I was asked to participate in an interview about what brought me to homeschooling, my homeschool journey, & to share some tips and resources that have been beneficial for us as a homeschool family. I'm honored to have a featured spot on her "How We Homeschool" series that includes interviews of other homeschool families all over the USA and many countries around the world. Y ou can read her interview here:   https://www.vegaskidszone.com/adversity-and-action-create-opportunity-for-homeschool-family-in-oregon/ . When I began homeschooling my hope was to spend more time with my kiddos and to have more say in what they were learning; I never imagined it would become a lifestyle that would have such an impact on my family, and help shape and mold my children into the amazing young adults they are becoming. We are so grateful for all the opportunities that homeschooling has created for our family and how it continues to be the best fit for us.💖...

Our journey to homeschooling, part I

My children's bio-logical father chose his addictions to alcohol and meth over his family which left me in a lurch just trying to survive and keeping the kids safe.

The journey that brought me to homeschooling: part II

Hi friends, Today I thought I'd share about our journey to homeschooling with you. I've had a few inquiries on my Instagram account about what got me into homeschooling lately and I'd love to take you on the journey with me while I reminisce :) So lets go back to the beginning, a little over 9 years ago my kiddos and I were living a completely different life. We were barely hanging on by a thread and just trying to survive another day. That's life, living with an abusive alcoholic and meth addict. I am so grateful and beyond thankful to say that my kiddos and I are survivors of domestic violence/abuse and that we are here, thriving and living an incredible life. One that God has brought so much restoration and healing to, we are safe, happy, healthy and loving the life we are privileged to be living. If you or anyone you know happens to be in a horrible situation, living with a violent partner I encourage you to seek help when it's safe for you/them to do so and t...
