If you want to be in charge of what your kids learn (and don’t learn) then homeschooling is the only way to go. Sometimes it’s easy and others are a struggle. But we would not have it any other way.
In life, we often try and do it all, but let’s face it, it’s just not possible. When we try to do it all, we end up burnt out and often give up on our dreams and goals. So, what do we have to give up and what do we make a priority?
Our journey of homeschooling started four years ago. While it hasn’t been picture perfect and we’ve made many changes in those four years, we wouldn’t have it any other way. We have had the opportunity to learn and grow right along with our kids and encourage others to do the same.
Is sewing an essential skill? For some, it is. Where would we be without those who make all the clothing we find in the stores or the blankets to keep us warm at night? I know over the years I’ve had the hems on different shirts come undone or pant legs that are way too long for my short legs. Without the ability to sew, I would easily have had to throw away some of my favorite shirts or I’d have ended up walking on the end of my pant legs.
No one can ever predict where their life will end up. Our journey has gone from jobs to owning our own business, from a house, living in a RV, and a small home on 10 acres with our four children. But our love for each other and focus to reach our goals has always pulled us through. Our blog covers our journey of living small while dreaming big, helping others achieve the prepared homestead life they desire.
