You have been such an inspiration to me. I have been going through the motions for the last year. I've been nothing but overwhelmed and easily irritated. Now, I just need to talk my husband into letting me do some life changes so we can slow down, too. Thank you. ❤
I'm so touched by your words and glad you found inspiration here. I think it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the constant pressure to meet certain societal standards, whether it's about productivity or how we choose to educate our kids. Remember, there's no one-size-fits-all approach to homeschooling or living a fulfilling life. Each family is unique, and what works for one may not work for another. It's all about finding what resonates with your family's values and pace. And I think it's awesome that you're going to talk about your overwhelm with your husband. I had a client who recently did the same with her husband, and they've started to make some changes so homeschooling becomes sustainable over the long haul. Mom burnout and homeschool burnout are REAL, and people in our circle need to be aware. You're doing an incredible job recognizing your needs and advocating for a slower, more intentional life! 💝
Homeschool is definitely a lifestyle of flexibility!!! We love the travel life!!! We are about to leave the Caribbean for a team building cruise!!! We are doing online classes!!! I don’t like makeup!!! My girls are obsessed tho!!! Nothing wrong with having kids late!!! I have to use reef sunscreen!!! We bought tons in Hawaii and then wen we went back home at Easter!!! I love shark bone birth powder in smoothies!!! I don’t assign books so that my kids can read what they want!!! I do encourage certain books but they don’t need to read them!!!

It sounds like you have an awesome job! I think my oldest son will be doing more online classes next year.
