Inspiring homeschool links
This post contains affiliate links.
We made more beeswax candles last week–find how-to instructions here!
Remember that this coming Monday, September 14th, we’ll have our hardest part of my homeschool year link up!
Come by after 6:30am ET to link to your own hardest homeschool year blog post and start reading those from others.
Does talking about the hard stuff seem like a strange way to kick off a new school year?
I actually think it makes perfect sense–we can write vulnerably about not just our struggles, but how we’re navigating them, giving hope and courage to those who read our words.
Please take the time to share your hard to help others, and I’ll see you then!

“The fact is that given the challenges we face, education doesn’t need to be reformed — it needs to be transformed. The key to this transformation is not to standardize education, but to personalize it, to build achievement on discovering the individual talents of each child, to put students in an environment where they want to learn and where they can naturally discover their true passions.”
