Homeschool perfection
PIN ME FOR LATER!

Dear exhausted mom striving for homeschool perfection.

I have great news for you! News that you will find liberating!

THERE IS NO SUCH A THING AS HOMESCHOOL PERFECTION!

Want to listen to this post in audio?

Here! I said it! It took me a long time to find this out, but I did! On my last drop of hope, I finally got it and gave up on homeschool perfection!

I gave up on having the perfect homeschool room as well, that never gets used and of buying curriculum other moms brag about that don’t work for my children and are not a perfect fit for us!

In fact, I  had an epiphany and gave up perfection all together! Perfection according to others, books, and magazines. Perfection that brings comparison. It’s what makes me constantly dissatisfied, constantly upset because things did not go according to my big unrealistic plans I copy from somebody else! Yes, this kind of perfection sucks and I’m will not continue to be a perfectionist.

I’m not striving for perfection anymore! I’ll strive for joy, peace, and memories in our homeschool instead, doing what works for us, at our own pace, within our own natural abilities. No pressure, no hurries, no comparisons.

Don’t let the “homeschool perfection” you see in pictures on social media of “perfect homeschool moms” doing the “perfect activities” with their “perfect kids” fool you!

That is simply not true! We all have our imperfect days – ALL OF US! And they happen more often around here I can guarantee you that. A picture is NOT worth a thousand words. For instance, we had Poetry Teatime today and before I tell you the whole story, take a look at my Instagram post. 😉

Now, close your eyes and imagine having that perfect homeschooling day where everyone is loving it and have a big smile on their faces? What was it like? What were you doing? How were you learning? You are on this homeschool journey with your heart and your soul because you love your children and you want the best for them!

I'll tell you this, my kids still think the best thing for them is when mommy is fully present, cuddling on the sofa (even if some of them are upside down on the sofa), reading them stories and talking about it afterward. We have the best conversations after reading books together and draw many lessons from it.

So, ditch perfection all together and trade it for your full presence being simply yourself!

Maybe we just need to simplify our great ideals of a perfect homeschool and focus on seeing beauty in the ordinary moments of our days instead.

After all, our children are learning and growing beautifully as we simply love on them. And you are making memories together - and that, dear homeschool mom - it's just PERFECT!

And with all these things, love, which is the bond of perfection. Colossians 3:14.


Your turn: How does this post speak to you? What can you let go in order to find perfect peace and joy in your homeschool and life?

    Perfect post on not being perfect! I find that what we feel are “perfect” days change from year to year too. We’re trying to find our new balance. I used to say our perfect days were spent listening to stories and playing games together but my oldest is just about in those teen years and he has been rolling his eyes and giving me such grief about listening to read alouds and playing the games I have planned. We’re trying to come up with a compromise we can both live with and I know that it will take a bit of time for us to find a schedule that we’re all happy with again. I have learned that there are pretty much never perfect days but I do live for those moments. There are perfect moments in most days and that what’s I strive to create with my boys. I am pinning and sharing this EVERYWHERE!

    Thank you for the reminder that our family is different than everyone else. What works for someone else is not always a good fit for us. Our children may have different learning styles and what is the “perfect curriculum” for one family, may be a waste of time and money for another. My husband and I work nights and weekends, so I do find it very difficult to take our children to homeschool events very often and I usually end up feeling guilty about it. However, I know that our kids have plenty of interaction during the week and I shouldn’t let it bother me so much. Just because we can’t attend every meeting, conference or event does not mean that our children are getting any less of an education. It’s just nice to hear it sometimes and know that I am not the only one who battles the fear of not being good enough.

      Absolutely, Wendy! You’re so right! Do what works for your family and that is the best for your family. Last year we went a whole year without taking any extra classes and it was wonderful for our family. No one felt guilty. We spent more time together, spent less money and had more time on our calendars open to doing whatever we wanted. Don’t you love the flexibility homeschooling gives us? 😀

    Amen! I have struggled with many of the same health issues you had. It is hard to find the energy to do much somedays. My biggest struggle is letting my phone or phone calls distract me from schooling and then I sometimes snap at my kids when I’m being the selfish one. So for me turning it off until we are done for the day.

    Thank you for the reminder that perfection is going to look different for everyone, and certainly won’t look like what’s in a magazine! (Or social media) My kids need me to be their mama, not me trying to be like everyone else.

    A refreshing reminder to slow down, and look to what is important and realize that the “perfect” moment may not actually feel very perfect. And that striving for perfection is,…well, strife.

    I find myself getting so attached to following a routine organized by curriculum, but then it becomes a drudgery. But I agree. My favorite time is reading with my kids. I need to allow myself the freedom to read together and just enjoy the spontaneity that comes from reading and discussion. The hardest part seems to be giving myself permission to do so. Thank you for this post!

    Thank you! I needed this. I’ve just pushed myself too hard and burnt myself out. I’ve got adrenal fatigue and feel like I can’t do it all. Homeschool has suffered as a result. I was quite disappointed as my goal was consistency and I haven’t accomplished that. I kept comparing to everyone I see online and felt like I’ve failed because everyone else seem to be consistent and I can’t seem to do it. It might take me a while to put it into practice but a vision of making memories sounds so much more satisfying. Thanks ❤️

Ana has a beautiful heart and her laugh is contagious these are the extra perks of being apart of her blog family. What... drew me to her blog was to get homeschooling info and ideas, what has held me there is her evident passion and love for Christ. Through her blog I've grown an interest in bible journaling because of the artist side of journaling I have seen her demonstrate. Thank you for all your hard work to provide great resources for homeschooling and much more, and for the prayers!!! The praysers are an added blessing! �read more

Verse of the Day

“Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.” — Philippians 2:14-16 Listen to chapter . Powered by BibleGateway.com.

HAPPY HANUKKAH 🕎 Hanukkah is about fighting fo HAPPY HANUKKAH 🕎 
Hanukkah is about fighting for our freedom and religious right to worship God and serve Him freely. 

Tonight, we light the menorah with prayers of hope, faith, and determination knowing that the same God that gave the Maccabbes the victory over the enemy back then, is the same today and forever - He will give us the victory if we stand up for righteousness and justice! 

We won't give up the fight. We won't give in. The enemy has no power over us unless we give him some. But we won't! We're more than conquers! We're victorious! We're the light of the world! 

It's time to rededicate ourselves and our families to God. We're God's children, bought and redeemed at a great price. 

I challenge you and your family to pray against the enemy's forces for the next 8 nights. Pray, dear friends, as your life depends on it because it does. 

Happy Hanukkah!!! He still does miracles today.

Feeling anxious and overwhelmed with everything go Feeling anxious and overwhelmed with everything going on in the world right now?

The most important thing you can do right now is to turn your life to the One that knows it all. 

Your salvation and the salvation of your loved ones is more important than anything else. 

📌Have you given your life to Jesus yet? 
📌Have you invited Him to be your Lord and Saviour?

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast.”
- Ephesians 2:8-9. 

No matter how good you are, you cannot save yourself. Only God can save you. 

Salvation is the free gift of God and is so simple to obtain:

1- ACKNOWLEDGE you’ve sinned (we all did) and ask the Lord to forgive you. 
2- BELIEVE that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He died on the cross to pay the penalty of your sins, was buried and rose from the dead on the third day. 
3- CONFESS that Jesus Christ is Lord and CALL on His name!

For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.” 
- Romans 10:13

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” - John 3:16.

HAPPINESS IS HOMEMADE We’re so thankful for fri HAPPINESS IS HOMEMADE

We’re so thankful for friends who love handcrafts as much as we do!

We usually do handcrafts in the afternoon after finishing our studies but today, it happened after pizza night. 

I love every craft idea, poem, story, picture study, etc that comes on @a_charlotte_mason_mama ‘s Beautiful Wonders monthly plans. It adds so much beauty in our homeschool and so much fun to our family time. 

Thank you @celineybird for all the fun we and our kids have together!🙌🏼

DEVOTED: Dedicated, consecrated. I dream about rai DEVOTED: Dedicated, consecrated.
I dream about raising an army of women devoted to God, to prayer, and to His Word. 
He has put this dream in my heart years ago and many times I got distracted and took a detour of my calling. 

In these past two months, I’ve been at His feet, still, listening to His heart beating, His heart full of love for you, for your family, for this world. 

I know He is calling me to teach His Word in a deeper level to women who wants more of Him. 

I could not be more excited about this new Hebrew Bible study series I'm creating. 

It is called Devoted.

Each monthly Hebrew Scripture Study comes with 10-12 Lessons, each lesson comes with 9 gorgeous printable pages and only takes 15 minutes/day. 

You will learn Hebrew while learning the full meaning of each word in the Scripture lesson. We’re starting with Psalm 115. 

Devoted is life changing!
