What is Joy in the Ordinary?

Welcome!  If you landed on this page then you are probably wondering what exactly is Joy in the Ordinary. 

Joy in the Ordinary focuses on all things homeschooling, faith, and encouragement for those who desire to seek contentment and joy in the now.

Oftentimes, we find our self searching for the highs of life to only become disappointed.  When you begin to seek joy in the common things of your life,  you truly are able to live a life of freedom and happiness.

On the site, you will find my reflections about homeschooling my daughters, snippets of my faith journey, and simple ways to be a better parent, more organized, and how to engage your own creative side (everyone has a dose of creativity in them because we all were designed by the master Creator).

How to Navigate the Site ...

As with all things in life, you have to decide what you need and what you do not.  After you decide your needs, visit the pages by going to the menu at the top of this page. All pages can be found in the menu under the title.  You can also click the titles to the right for our four most popular categories.
