I used to say that homeschooling was our lifestyle but now I say our lifestyle is our homeschool!
Lifestyle Homeschool is about discipling our children; about character training, about everyday life giving learning opportunities, about Bible study and practical skills. Your lifestyle will provide the experiences that will give your children a rich education.

I’ve been writing lots – but more about that another time.
A friends invited the girls and I for a helicopter flight to see the waterfalls.

Be a Deliberate Parent

Homemaking
In amongst the parenting, the training, the homeschooling I must remember that I am also a homemaker.
