Too often we run here and there, to and fro and all it accomplishes is vexation and stress."Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife." Proverbs 17:1

In other words, it is better to have less of everything and be relaxed and at peace, than to have lots of everything and be stressed.

It seems as homeschooling mums we seem to be even more under pressure to do more than is actually necessary and then become stressed. Whether it is in academics, or clubs, or church, or whatever it may be. We need to slow down the pace and drink in God's word....slowly!  "Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." Luke 12:27

If we are trying to 'do school' on the move constantly, then we are probably doing too much. I have seen 'burnout' in home educators and the same theme seems to re occur, they were trying to do too much. We will never get it all done, so we need to quit trying and cast all our cares on God. We can do it in His strength.
