    Encouraging Motherhood Devotional & Scripture Study Journal

    Motherhood is likely the hardest job you will ever love. Nothing that we do, read, or see can prepare us for the journey that is ahead of us. It is important that we surround ourselves with people and resources that promote encouraging motherhood. While I know that this is much easier said than done, I do have something to help all mothers: a 30-Day of Encouraging Motherhood Devotional & Scripture Study Journal.

Most homeschool burnout is not a scheduling proble Most homeschool burnout is not a scheduling problem. It is a foundations problem. 🤍 We have walked thousands of moms through the same six things. The ones who skip them always circle back. Usually in tears, usually around week six of a beautiful curriculum that is no longer working. Six foundations we teach before a mom opens a single catalog: 1. Your calling before your curriculum. A clear "why" gives hard days a reason. 2. Name the enemy. Busyness, comparison, perfectionism, the pressure to replicate a classroom. 3. Know who you are teaching. Your child is an image-bearer before they are a student. 4. Education as discipleship. You are not recreating school at home. You are shaping a whole person with faith, character, habits, and virtues. 5. A restful homeschool is built, not found. Rest is a design decision. 6. Community is not optional. You were not designed to do this alone. These foundations do not take time away from homeschooling. They are what make it last. You were called to this, mama. Build it like you believe that.💗🙏🏻
Homeschool burnout isn't a curriculum problem. It' Homeschool burnout isn't a curriculum problem. It's a sisterhood problem. We buy the new planners. We switch the math program. We hunt for the magic workbook that will make everyone smile at 9am. But Mama, the real weight you're carrying is the weight of doing this calling alone. You do not need a new stack of books to cure your burnout. You do not need a perfect schedule to find peace. You do not need to master every subject before you can guide your children. You need a sisterhood. You need to know you are not failing simply because you are tired. The Lord who called you to this journey did not ask you to walk it in isolation. If you're pouring from an empty cup, come sit with us at the Charlotte Mason Inspired Online Conference, June 22 to 26, 2026. Real rest. Living education. Fellow sisters walking beside you. You do not have to do this alone, sister 🤍 Link in our bio to claim your spot. #charlottemasoninspired #homeschoolmom #homeschoollife
In 1887, Charlotte Mason founded an educational mo In 1887, Charlotte Mason founded an educational movement that quietly reshaped how children learn. Nearly 140 years later, her methods still outperform most modern curriculum. We work with thousands of Christian homeschool moms, and the same five principles keep changing the atmosphere of their homes. A few we unpack in the carousel: >> Living books over textbooks. Real authors. Real passion. Real curiosity. >> Narration instead of worksheets. No quiz required. Just "tell me what you heard." >> Short lessons, full attention. Because focus is a habit, not a personality trait. Mason said it best: "Self-education is the only possible education; the rest is mere veneer laid on the surface of a child's nature." Swipe through for all five. Then pick one to try this week. Want to learn more about Charlotte Mason's method of education? Join us June 22-26 at the Charlotte Mason Inspired Online Conference!

"I walked in exhausted. I walked out with a plan a "I walked in exhausted. I walked out with a plan and a peace I hadn't felt in years." That is what one mama told us after the conference. And she is not the only one. Moms arrive carrying curriculum decisions, comparison, and the quiet fear that they are not enough. They leave lighter. Clearer. Rooted again in why God called them to this. One finally understood Charlotte Mason in a way that fit her real, messy, beautiful family. Another stopped crying over her lesson planner and started enjoying her children again. Another almost quit before she came, and now she cannot wait to start the new year. If you are wondering whether a homeschool conference is worth it, sister, listen to the moms who have been there. Hope and clarity are waiting for you too. 🤍
These pictures makes me emotional. The little gir These pictures makes me emotional. The little girl on the left had no idea what was ahead of her. She didn’t know she would grow up, leave Brazil, move across the world, live in Israel, get married in Jerusalem, become a mom, move to Canada, homeschool her kids, move to the United States, get a masters degree, and build a life she could have never imagined. But she also didn’t know there would be cancer at 25. She didn’t know there would be doctors saying she may never become a mom. She didn’t know there would be miscarriages, hard seasons, financial stress, health battles, big moves, starting over, and moments when she would cry and wonder, “Lord, what are You doing?” And yet… here I am. Not because I had everything figured out. Not because I was always strong. Not because I never doubted or struggled. But because God carried me through every version of myself. The little girl. The young bride. The tired mom. The woman trying to rebuild. The woman still learning to trust. Sometimes we look at old pictures and think, “I wish I could tell her what I know now.” I think I would tell her: “You’re going to be okay. Not because everything will be easy, but because God will never leave you. And one day, even the hard chapters will become part of your testimony. Just trust God.” Maybe you need to hear that today too. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to keep walking with the One who already sees the whole story. 🤍 Just trust Him. #theycallmeblessed #homeschoolmom #cancersurvivor #trustingod #homeschool #charlottemasoninspired #shabbatshalom
