As a homeschool mom, you made that intentional decision to educate your children at home, which means, everyone is home with you...all the time. And when summer comes, it can be very easy to disengage a little bit.

This usually happens because the curriculum is completed and you are mentally and emotionally drained.

But, you've got that mom guilt hanging over your head too. "Everyone" seems to have an opinion about how you should spend your summer. And I'm not here to give you a list that will only add more burden to you.

Instead, I'd like to encourage you to be intentional about being present and spending time with your children. Just a few little tips will help you keep your mind focused on what is most important so that you and your children can have a great summer!

Homeschooling your children is no small task. It takes hard work, determination, and a willingness to adjust when needed. Most parents don't think about the years ahead of them on day one. But at some point you wonder how long you're willing to do this.

It's no secret that I am a huge advocate for homeschooling long-term and helping moms wrap their minds around this goal.

Today, as I prepare to "retire" from my homeschool career, I want to share 4 perspective shifts that will help you stay committed for the days and years ahead. I have seen the fruit of persevering and want that for you too.
