Are they “real world” ready? They don’t suddenly Are they “real world” ready?
They don’t suddenly enter the “real world” at 18. They’ve been growing into it all along.
As homeschool moms, we often get the question: “But are they prepared for the real world?”
I used to worry about that, too. But watching my teens navigate their first jobs, their first drives, and their first big responsibilities has shown me the truth. Homeschooling isn’t just about the academics in the books—it’s about the character built in the margins. It’s the critical thinking they use to solve a problem, the confidence they find in a conversation, and the wisdom they gain from having the space to grow at their own pace.
If you’re in the thick of those long teen lessons today, remember: those ordinary moments are quietly preparing them for extraordinary milestones.
What is one “adulting” skill your teen has mastered lately that made your heart swell with pride? Let’s celebrate those wins in the comments! 👇

🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦 “And now these three rema 🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦
“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” — 1 Corinthians 13:13 🇨🇦❤️
This verse has been on my heart all morning.
Canada has been through some hard years. Many of us have grieved the changes we’ve seen and wondered what the future holds. But as believers, we place our hope in the God who holds this nation in His hands.
And hope isn’t pretending everything is okay. Hope is trusting that even when we can’t see it, God is still moving.
Many of you know our story.
When we left Canada in 2021, I was convinced we would never come back. Truthfully… I didn’t want to.
But the Lord had different plans.
He called us back.
Some days I still don’t understand everything He’s doing, but I know this: we’re not here by accident. We are here because this is where He has called us to be—for such a time as this.
So instead of dwelling on everything that’s broken, I’ve been asking a different question:
“Lord, how can we be part of what You’re doing in Canada?”
Maybe that’s the question He’s inviting all of us to ask.
Will you pray with me today?
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for this beautiful nation.
Breathe fresh hope into Canada.
Give wisdom to our leaders. Strengthen our families. Protect our children. Help us to love our neighbours well and to be people who bring light wherever You’ve planted us.
May revival begin in our hearts, overflow into our homes, and spread across this nation—from sea to sea.
We believe You are not finished with Canada.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen. ❤️🇨🇦
Happy Canada Day, friends. May we remain people of faith, hope, and love — in any circumstances and wherever God has placed us.

We’re surrounded by farms and love driving around to buy our produce, grass-fed beef, fresh goat milk and cheese, fresh cow’s milk on a glass bottle, not plastic! Shocking, right? By the way, have you watched The Plastic Detox documentary yet? Go watch it later. Now, come drive around with us, meet my new friends, and let’s get some fresh milk together!

Shabbat Shalom, sweet friends. 🤍 What a beautiful Shabbat Shalom, sweet friends. 🤍
What a beautiful week it has been.
Yesterday we wrapped up our Charlotte Mason Inspired online homeschool conference after an incredible week with 35 amazing speakers. Together we learned, worshipped, prayed, laughed, and encouraged one another. My heart is overflowing with gratitude for every homeschool mom who joined us. What a gift this community is.
Were you there? Or did you miss it?
Today, I am embracing the gift of Shabbat—a sacred invitation to stop striving, rest in God’s presence, and remember that He is the One who sustains us.
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” — Exodus 20:8
Shabbat is our weekly invitation to “be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10
As the sun sets and our family gathers around the table, I am reminded that God’s goodness is not measured by all we accomplish, but by His faithful presence with us. His mercies are new every morning, His peace is available to every weary heart, and His blessings are abundant beyond what we deserve.
After pouring out this week, I’m choosing to be filled again. To rest. To worship. To simply enjoy the goodness of the Lord.
I hope you too have made time today to “Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him.” — Psalm 34:8
Wishing you a peaceful and refreshing Shabbat.
✨ How is your Shabbat going? I’d love to hear what you’re grateful for today.

What would your homeschool day look like if your child could do math without needing you in the room?
CTCMath is designed for exactly that. Every lesson is self-contained; clear enough that your child can follow it, practice it, and check their own work, independently.
You still see everything. Progress is tracked automatically and reported back to you.
Your child does the work. Your child earns the success. That's how confidence actually gets built.
CTCMath has been our math of choice for the past 9 years and we loved it! I know you will love it too.
