Deuteronomy 6:5-7 – I would suspect that every homeschool mom has heard this verse referenced as THE homeschool motto or vision verse. While I wholeheartedly agree that this beautiful verse does have significant application to us as parents, I wonder if the busy mom reading this has struggled to apply this verse?

For those of us who homeschool it’s likely because of strong conviction to do so. When we first begin, we are all terribly excited and in full gear.
