Homeschooling mama

I just wanted to share a little bit more of me…


When it comes to homeschooling it’s no easy decision.  As a matter of fact, it’s been almost 10 years and still going.  Did I just say that out-loud?  Honestly there were days that I thought about throwing in the towel but I kept going.  I’m so glad that I chose to say the course.  So many blessings I’ve received. And God has given me so much through this journey.

So many have asked if I have a degree to teach, what curriculum do you use, do you interact with others…No I don’t have a teaching degree (associate in business…but honestly as a mom, everyday is a learning and teaching moment.  We use a mixture of curriculums. When you have different children, different learning ways…you adjust.  Lastly, if you could really sit down and listen to my kids, they can talk to anyone little into the golden years.  They can relate on various age levels…not just their age group.  Some adults cannot even do that.

While COVID may have been a reason why some chose to go this route, we just kept doing what we were doing.  Not much changed.  While going on errands, people around us and the enforced rules did have a play in our life.  It changed perception and how quickly life changed.  And now, knowing we are back to normal but there’s imprints that don’t go away.  We persevered.

I would love to hear how you began homeschooling, or maybe it’s something you’re pondering and just have questions.  Feel free to reach out.  I am black and white.  There is no gray area.  No judgement either.  We all have a journey and places we’ve trodden.

Don’t...

Don’t be held captive by your thoughts... #motivationalmonday This hit me like a brick.  For so long I let myself be a prisoner by my thoughts, how I felt when I looked in the mirror, insecurities, lack of self confidence and now I feel like a whole new person!  I’m thankful that Jesus helped me through some of my darkest storms. Even when I feel alone, I know He is right beside me. Not to mention the amazing family I’ve been gifted.  I’m truly blessed.   Life is important. 👉 YOU 👈 are important.   Hope you have an awesome day and Happy New Year!

How important is breakfast...

Eight Reasons to Start Your Day With a Protein-Dense Shake.....  Your mom always told you that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Of course, mom’s always right. But does the science back her recommendation up? From an array of studies, scientists have demonstrated the efficacy of breakfast for a variety of health benefits. The number of these benefits also increase if that early morning meal is higher in protein, particularly in the form of a protein-dense shake. Here is a running list that should give you more reasons to start every day with a nutritious, high-protein meal. Or, better yet, a protein-dense meal-replacement shake: 1.
