🦦🐢 Another fun field trip in the books! ❤️

Last week, our homeschool crew had SO much fun exploring the Delmarva Discovery Center !

We got to meet some of the residents, including Mack and Tuck, the adorable otters! 🦦 We also made some new reptile friends! 🐍🐢

We learned all about the importance of recycling and even got creative making bird feeders out of recycled materials! ♻️🐦

Up next: The Nanticoke Indian Museum TOMORROW! 🪶

We still have a couple of spots available for anyone who would like to join us! Admission is just $5 per person, paid at the door. Since the museum has a maximum occupancy, please check with me before planning to attend so we can make sure there’s room for your family!

❤️ And don’t forget about our FRIENDSGIVING next week! 🦃🍂

We would LOVE to have you join us as we come together for food, fellowship, and friendship! Be sure to sign up!

Can’t wait to see y’all tomorrow! And if we don’t see you then, we hope to see you at Friendsgiving! ❤️

I LOVE HALLOWEEN. 🎃❤️

I love the costumes, the creativity, the excitement, and making memories with my family. If you know me, you know I probably go a little overboard. I mean, I spent hours making myself a giant Poké Ball costume this year. 😂

But last night Cody said something that really made me think.

“Imagine if people put half the time and energy into Thanksgiving and spending time with the people they love that they put into Halloween. The world would be a happier place.”

And honestly, he’s not wrong.

Did you know Americans were projected to spend $13.5 BILLION on Halloween this year? BILLION. With a B.

Think about the hours spent planning costumes, decorating homes, shopping, organizing parties, and making everything just right.

Now imagine if we put even half that effort into loving our neighbors, serving our communities, gathering around the dinner table, and showing gratitude for the blessings God has given us.

What would that look like?

What if we were just as excited to invite someone to Thanksgiving dinner who might otherwise spend it alone?

What if we spent as much time thinking about how to bless someone as we do planning the perfect costume?

What if our children saw us putting just as much excitement into serving others as we do celebrating holidays?

And what if, as Christians, we were just as intentional about sharing the love of Jesus as we are about making sure everyone has a good time?

Please don’t misunderstand me. I’m not against Halloween. Clearly. 😂

In fact, I’ve tried to make it an opportunity to give a little more than candy. Over the years we’ve handed out little baby Jesus figures, Scripture bracelets, and this year, Pokémon cards. Just small ways to bring a little extra joy to someone’s night and, when the opportunity presents itself, plant a seed of faith.

But I’m challenging myself here, too.

Because sometimes I wonder if we get so caught up in making the moments magical that we forget to make them meaningful.

Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away. A holiday centered around gratitude, family, and togetherness. Yet so often it gets lost somewhere between Halloween decorations and Christmas shopping.

Maybe this year we can be a little more intentional.

Spend more time around the table. Put down our phones. Invite someone in. Give generously. Pray together. Teach our children that gratitude isn’t just something we talk about one day a year. It’s something we live out every day.

And most importantly, remember that loving our neighbors isn’t just a nice thing to do. It’s something Jesus called us to do.

“Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” — 1 John 3:18

The costumes will get put away. The decorations will come down. The candy will be gone.

But the time we spend with the people we love, the kindness we show a stranger, the seeds of faith we plant, and the example we set for our children can have an impact far beyond a single holiday.

Maybe the goal isn’t to celebrate Halloween less. Maybe it’s to love God and love people more, with that same excitement, creativity, and intention. ❤️

Just a little food for thought as we head into this season of Thanksgiving.

❤️ To the mama out there considering homeschooling…

The one who thinks she can’t. Maybe you don’t feel qualified. Maybe you don’t think you have the patience, the time, or the knowledge to teach your own children.

But let me ask you something. Who is more qualified to teach your child than YOU?

Homeschooling doesn’t have to look like traditional school. You don’t need desks, bells, or six hours of lessons a day. Especially when they’re little! Learning happens in so many ways, and you’d be amazed at how much you can accomplish in just a few intentional hours.

❤️ To the mama who is just starting out…

Give yourself grace. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is a homeschool routine.

It took us until our THIRD year to really find our rhythm. Three years of trying things, changing things, wondering if we were doing enough, and figuring out what worked for our family.

And now? We’re making leaps and bounds! Of course, I decided to throw another curriculum into the mix this year, so here we go again. 😂 But we’ll figure it out. We always do.

Don’t compare your beginning to someone else’s fifth or tenth year. You’re learning right alongside your children, and that’s a beautiful thing.

❤️ To the seasoned homeschool mama…

The one who feels like she’s been teaching the same lesson for the hundredth time. The one who is tired of the repetition, the messes, the interruptions, and the days that don’t go according to plan.

I see you.

Some days it feels like we’re doing the same thing over and over, doesn’t it? But those little moments are adding up. The lessons, the conversations, the memories, the time spent together.

You’re planting seeds that you may not see bloom for years. Keep going. You’re crushing it.

❤️ And to the mama who doesn’t homeschool…

You’re nothing short of amazing, too.

Whether you send your babies off to public school, private school, or teach them around your kitchen table, we’re all doing our best to raise good, kind, capable humans.

Homeschooling isn’t the right choice for every family, and that’s okay. This isn’t about one way being better than another.

It’s about encouraging each other instead of comparing ourselves to each other.

Because at the end of the day, we’re all mamas who love our babies and want what’s best for them.

And sometimes, we all just need someone to remind us that we’re doing a better job than we think. ❤️

Different journeys. Same love. And a whole lot of grace along the way.

🥋 We had a KICKIN’ good time today! 🥋

We loved “kicking it” with all of you today at Legacy Martial Arts! 👊 It looked like all the kids had a blast learning some new skills, trying something different, and burning off some energy!

I know space was limited for this field trip, and not everyone was able to join us. But don’t worry! We already have another trial class planned for this winter and one more in the spring! Thank you Legacy Martial Arts 🎉

Even more exciting news! The studio has expressed interest in offering a homeschool karate class! 🥋 Once I have more information on pricing, days, and times, I’ll be sure to share it with everyone. What a fun opportunity for our homeschool community!

🦀 UP NEXT: Delmarva Discovery Museum!

Next Wednesday, November 4th, we’re heading to the Delmarva Discovery Museum in Pocomoke!

I’ve decided to reopen registration through Friday! If you missed your chance to sign up, now is the time! We’d love to have you join us!

🍂 Can you believe it’s almost NOVEMBER?!

This school year is flying by! Be sure to check out our November Field Trip Calendar, pinned at the top of the page, so you don’t miss any of the fun we have planned!

❤️ A Little Reminder to My Homeschool Families ❤️

I want to take a moment to share something that’s weighing on my heart.

We all choose to homeschool for different reasons. Some of us do it for academic reasons, some for flexibility, some for faith, and some for reasons entirely our own. But I think one thing many of us can agree on is that we want to protect our children. Their innocence, their confidence, their hearts, and their ability to just be kids.

For me personally, protecting my children’s innocence is one of the biggest reasons I homeschool.

Recently, something was brought to my attention that happened during one of our field trips. While I won’t go into details or single anyone out, a child left feeling hurt because of words spoken by other children. What may have seemed like harmless joking to one child left another feeling sad days later.

And that breaks my heart.

As your field trip coordinator, I put a lot of time, effort, and love into organizing these opportunities for our children. My goal has always been to create a place where our kids can learn, explore, build friendships, and make wonderful memories together.

The very last thing I want is for a child to leave one of our field trips feeling bullied, embarrassed, excluded, or less than.

So I’m asking all of us, myself included, to take a moment before our next outing to remind our children about kindness.

Remind them that words matter. That something they think is funny might not be funny to someone else. That we don’t make jokes at another child’s expense. And especially remind our older children that the younger ones are watching, learning, and looking up to them. They have an opportunity to be leaders and set a beautiful example.

I know kids will be kids. They will make mistakes, say things without thinking, and sometimes hurt feelings without intending to. That’s part of growing up. But it’s also our responsibility as parents to guide them, correct them, and teach them to do better.

We cannot protect our children from every unkind word in this world, but we can absolutely work together to make sure our homeschool community is a place where kindness comes first.

I love this group and the opportunities we’re creating for our children. I want every family to feel welcome, every child to feel included, and every parent to feel confident bringing their children along.

Let’s continue building a community where our children don’t just grow academically, but grow into compassionate, thoughtful, and kind human beings.

Because at the end of the day, the memories our children make on these trips should be about the fun they had, the things they learned, and the friendships they built. Not the words that hurt them. ❤️

Thank you all for helping make this group a safe, welcoming, and loving place for our kids.
