The Quiet Blessings of Homeschooling

• The library’s 50-book checkout limit 

• Math lessons in pajamas 

• Siblings who double as lab partners and best friends 

• Not having to pack a daily lunchbox  

• Snow days decided by looking out the window 

• Read-alouds on the couch with blankets and cocoa 

• Kids who say, “Just one more chapter?” 

• Science experiments that explode and delight... 

• And the year nobody asked for a volcano project 

• History rabbit trails that continue through dinner 

• Spelling tests given while jumping on the trampoline 

• Mom friends who text “I’m behind too, we will catch up! 

• Teenagers who still want family game night 

• Flexible schedules that let us sleep in after late-night stargazing 

• Grandparents who love to offer art classes and give you a break 

• A house full of books, maps, and sticky projects 

• Park days that turn into biology lessons 

• That one child who finally reads for fun 

• Second breakfast being an official meal 

• A community that understands the struggle and the joy 

• Kids growing up knowing learning never has to stop 

• This loud, beautiful homeschool life
