When you are trying to learn how to homeschool your kids, the first thing to know is that it can be FUN.  It’s also a sweet, slow, quiet time with your kids.  Before I started homeschooling,  I honestly hated reading to (or with) my kids. However, reading with my kids has become my favorite thing about homeschool.  Especially our devotion time.  Here are some of our family’s favorite fun Bible devotions for kids.

You want to know how to escape the rat race.  This means you already know what the rat race is.  But let’s just make it really clear.  The ‘rat race’ is a race that no matter how fast or hard you run… you don’t get anywhere.  EXHAUSTING.

Here’s the thing.  Momming is hard.  And homeschool can be pretty hard, too.  When we started homeschooling, I had to convince myself that if we were going to do this big, awesome, feels-kind-of-scary-thing, then I needed the right tools and homeschool supplies to make each day easier.  There’s no point making hard things harder.  Am I right?

So, you’ve made the decision.  The hardest decision of your life, but you’ve made it.  You’ve decided to homeschool.  Now that the big decision is made, though, there are of course new questions without answers! Ah, so is life.  Always a new problem, always a new question.  One of those questions is: how are you going to transition your kids from 6.5 hours in a public-school classroom to your new homeschool routine?  The answer (If I may be so bold) is de-schooling.  Not to be mistaken with unschooling.  I’m talking about de-schooling.
