Fall is upon us.

It’s September. Can you believe it?

I had barely caught my breath from what felt like a marathon-sprint Spring (having a baby while also homeschooling teens and elementary kids will do that) and here we are on the cusp of Fall and I’m looking around going, “What? When? How did I get here.”

But, here I am. And our little family plods along. Happily, I might add. It’s a good time in life - my eldest is in her last two years of homeschooling (another fact I can barely comprehend) and is basically an adult. Hence, conversations are uniquely awesome, how I always hoped they would be. We read deep books, laugh about our silly world, and often find ourselves conversing about topics which are sometimes above my pay grade. That’s one of the many fantastic parts of homeschooling, you know. You spend years of your life talking with your children, instructing them, encouraging them, facilitating their learning, and exposing them to the world, and then one day….POOF. They are wiser than you, more compassionate than you, and they possess the best parts of you and your spouse, usually without all your flaws.

The time you pour in begins to pour out of them for all to enjoy. The sacrifices and moments of, “Am I doing this right?!” are vindicated.

Yes, you are doing it correctly. You won’t regret it.
