Reclaiming the Wonder of Homeschooling

Hey, Soul Sister. Dropping some wisdom if you will. Let’s chat. 👋🎙️ (Yes, IG music came through and knows what I needed 🎶🎵🎧) Stop listening to the wrong people in this space. The well-meaning homeschool moms with all the busy boards and adorable worksheets and bins and dare I say —- curriculum. 😳 Because here’s what those moms of littles haven’t experienced. ❌Teenagers. Big kids. ❌Or even years of doing this home education life. I have a little over two years left with my oldest in high school. This May will wrap up year 10 of my stay at home mom eta. And I have regrets of how much I have let the “expected” creep in. We’ve lost the adventure and the fun of early years. ❤️Because when your kids are no longer little, you won’t look back and wish you did another worksheet. Or had another cute color sorting project. Or even read that other stack of library books. 📚You’ll wish you had ten favorite memorized books. 🤭And days of wandering and adventure and cooking and playing and giggling. 🛝And letting them be kids. I would be so good at this if I could do it all again. 🌟My goal - hold me to it - is to reclaim that. 😉Reclaim wonders. My youngest isn’t getting the beautiful life. He’s getting a good one…. But it could be better. Next year will be different. Just because it’s all good doesn’t mean it all has to be done. Next week will be different. This mom needs to put her attention back where it matters. Listen up. Put up the busy work. 👉And for crying out loud, go to the children’s museum like we would in Galveston. Spend the whole day. Nothing to “make up” afterward. No agenda. Just time for kid play. @galvestonchildrensmuseum . . . . . 👉Save this. It’s the permission you think you need. Be wild and free, Mom! . . . . .
