It’s almost that time of year again. Can you feel it? The temperatures are dropping a bit, school supplies are taking over the stores, and calendars are starting to fill up with events. Yes, fall is coming and so is what I call “The Crazy Season.”

It’s Back to School season right now, even among homeschoolers. For as flexible as we claim to be, most of us follow a more traditional school year–myself included. So what if we aren’t quite ready to start and are feeling like there are loose ends we still need to tend to? Here is a quick list of things that can be done relatively easily to help homeschooling get off to a good start and continue to flow well.

When we look at the situation in Texas, we are faced with the reality that ultimately God is in control and the future is in His hands. We do not know what tomorrow holds for us, or for those we love. We see in situations like Hurricane Harvey that disaster can strike at any time and turn someone’s world upside down. So how do we respond?

One homeschooling perk is that I do not have to worry about packing lunches for the kids each school day. Packing lunches drives me nuts. When we plan a day trip, picnic or long weekend away from home, I tend to get stressed out trying to figure out what I’m going to pack for lunches.

When you think of homeschooling you probably think about educating your children. Giving them a love for learning. Teaching them the important things in life and guiding them along a path that will lead them to a successful life. But, another aspect of homeschooling is what the parents learn through this journey.
