Although this time is more optimistic, I still have to intentionally make this season of my life work without becoming overwhelmed and burnt out.

It hasn't been easy for me as their primary teacher with the work I've had to do within and for myself after the accident. Some days I've questioned myself because our homeschool isn't anything like I imagined it to be for this season.

Our vision for our homeschool is to help our boys develop a love for learning, so seeing my boys so excited to learn is probably my favorite part of homeschooling.

I am excited about this new to us approach to homeschooling. I feel confident that we will achieve more than we intentionally set out to achieve by being focused for shorter spans of time. 

I'm sharing Joy in the Ordinary with my ten-year-old daughter. She's telling the world her ten favorite things about homeschooling. 

I know when I started on my journey finding African-American moms who were homeschooling their children was hard especially in the community we lived in; I know now in some areas homeschooling in the African-American community is no longer an anomaly. There are many families choosing to teach their children at home and some are actually sharing their stories.
