I was actually looking for a tote bag tutorial and stumbled on this – we had to go to the dentist today and, well, I still don’t understand why I can remind 5 children repeatedly of what time we’ll be leaving, yet five minutes before everyone’s running around frantically getting changed, brushing hair, and searching for stuff.

I imagine school mornings to be one long manic screech, but luckily we’ll never know.

I’ve been homeschooling since 1998 and was 7 months pregnant with my 2nd. My son will be 12th grade in a few months. I’m a little frightened of how I will feel when it’s all done. Definitely, bittersweet….. My reasons for homeschooling are different but there were times that I was glad we did with situations unforeseen (oldest hospitalized end of 4th grade and diagnosed with type 1 diabetes), being able to make doctor appointments for any time (always declining the tardy note they offered to get child back in school), not limited to taking vacations in summer. I had health issues including a cancer diagnosis in 2015 and planning and prepping made it doable for school to continue. It’s been an amazing journey. I’m in a different season of life now but I do enjoy getting a peak inside yours. Little ones can be physically exhausting but so much fun. I have teens and young adults. Love them dearly but it can be mentally exhausting trying not to worry about them.
