When I first started homeschooling, I had no idea what I was doing, but that was okay. I had the time as a stay at home mom to figure it out.
I scrolled Pinterest for ideas, and eventually, we found our groove. Things were finally coming together. I started to feel confident.
And then life changed, as it always does. That change was returning to work, and all of a sudden, my time was very limited.
How in the world was I going to teach my kids when I wasn’t even home?? Where would I find the time?
Being a homeschool mom is tough. It’s okay, you don’t have to pretend it’s not.
When you add in balancing a career and demands from a boss and clients, you go from “tough” to what felt impossible.
I must have heard, “You can’t do this” a hundred times that first year.
And when people put words to your worst fears, well, you start to believe them.
Was I going to be a crappy Mom?
Was my kid going to get the proper education?
Was I going to lose my job due to poor performance?
These were all thoughts that weren’t racing through my head.
They sat there. I’m pretty sure a couple of them built a house in my mind.
But what choice did I have? I had to make this work and although it didn’t happen overnight, I was able to make it work.
I don’t want you to believe that you can’t pursue a career and be an awesome homeschooling Mom. You can.
That’s what this site is all about. Helping you navigate the chaos that is your life.
You Can Do It Mama
I know the story of an Internet stranger might not be the push that ignites the belief that you can be a great Mom, pursue a career, AND homeschool all at the same time, but you can.
I dive even deeper into how you can pull off this crazy life that you want.
