Homeschool moms,  if you want some encouragement.... read this.     The Beatrice Brigade.  

And homeschool dads, this is what we need to hear from you!  It gave this mom a lift. 

Here is a short clip. 

"Whenever I feel very bad, I make sure to speak to home school mothers. These women represent something new. They are not feminists, a phrase they most often reject with scorn. Most live in very traditional households where the husband is the head of the family. However, they are certainly not Donna Reed door mats waiting at home in pearls and high heels for their lord and master to arrive home. They are very strong and fiercely opinionated. They are incredibly well read, devouring more books a year, than most U.C. students read in four years. Book a talk with Plato scholar to hear about big ideas and they show up."

I was moved beyond belief. What a powerful essay. I saw myself in Beatrice, and felt a little better about it. :)

WOW! What a huge encouragement for us moms! And what a blessing that this hs dad would post something that thoughtful for all of us. Makes me wanna keep on keeping on even if I don't have a lot of support in this ministry. Thanks so very much for sharing. I bookmarked it so I could reread it when I need the thoughts that my darling hubby MIGHT be thinking, and not sharing. ;) a mom of 4

The thoughts and reflections of a mom who loves being at home, and is doing all she has ever desired in her life..... Really... I love my life that much!


"And all thy sons shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be the peace of thy sons.
In righteousness shall thou be established."
Is 54:13-14
