I began documenting our homeschool journey here and through Instagram (@thesmittyfamgram) in early Spring of 2019. At the time, I had a preschooler fresh out of private school (more on that later) and a one year old just learning to walk. Life was busy then, but it has certainly shifted since! Looking back, it has turned out way different than I could ever imagine.
Here I am now with a rising second grader (whom I have homeschooled for a total of four years so far), a preschooler, a one year old, and one more on the way! Through the past four years I have experienced pregnancy loss, grew pregnant twice more, traveled tens of thousands of miles across the country, and shifted my heart in pursuit of the Lord. All of which, I am sure I will circle back to sharing at some point in time on here. All of the trials, lessons learned, adventures, and blessings in between have taught me one very important thing (well, certainly more, but I will leave it at one)… our learning never ends. And with that one piece of truth implanted deep into my heart, I have been fearlessly teaching my children the same.
I hope to share some of these life lessons with you here on my blog, along with engaging homeschool activities, the occasional craft, resources we love, and maybe some of those travel adventures, too. I hope it is in any capacity a blessing to you.
