I love homeschooling because it allows my children to blossom according to the stirrings God has placed deep in their hearts.

The opportunity God has given us to grow in relationship with Him and each other as we strive to seek truth, beauty and goodness!

We have learned through this process, that if God wants something from you, He will always provide!! So we have also learned to live by faith and this is the greatest adventure of all! Because of this openness to His will, I have been given the grace to teach my kids subjects which I honestly never believed I would ever teach. Our kids are thriving not only academically, but in their social interactions with others, in their true love of other persons, and their constant seeking of the ultimate Truth.

I didn’t think I would like or be able to homeschool.

Boy has my opinion changed... who better than a mom wants to see her kids well educated and instilled with certain values?

That active participation carries over from not only study and school time, but is well integrated into our activities, dinner conversations, hobbies, and even YouTube video choices! We have found that it truly does create quality integrated family time. 

While our family circumstances are always changing, whether it be a new baby or another child getting older and becoming a student, we strive to take every year as what it is, a year.

…There will be good days and bad days in homeschooling; when the bad days come, this mission statement acts as a reminder of why we chose this truly natural method of educating our children…

My friend Kimberly Hahn made this point to me years ago when Tim and I were newly weds. I asked her, "Why would I home school if I have a great Catholic school right down the street?" She answered, "If your child is gone 7 or 8 hours a day, then they have home work, then they have their chores, then they may have sports, then they have to go to bed; when do you have time to get to know them?" Needless to say, I couldn't respond. 

We love that homeschooling takes away lots of stressors (which take away family time) that traditional schools give us; like carpooling, appointments, homework, unnecessary projects, (not to mention erasing/combating political ideologies that go against our teachings in the home.)
