My kiddos have a Valentine party in their Sunday school class in the morning. As I searched the aisles at the local Wal-Mart for some cute Valentine cards, it hit me! This is the perfect time to share the love of God. I knew I wasn’t going to find that on those aisles, so I came up with my own idea.

One of the most important decisions we make as a homeschool mom, is which curriculum we will use. There are so many out there! I can’t tell you how many nights I have stayed up doing curriculum research while the rest of my family slept. I came to the conclusion that Abeka seemed to align with all of my major boxes I wanted checked.

I never in my wildest dreams saw myself as a homeschool mom. But, here I am… 50 something lessons into our first “official” homeschool year. It’s amazing how God is preparing you for something and you’re completely oblivious to it at the time. Just living life… Unaware… I can honestly tell you I have always had a pull towards all things teacher. Organization, making charts, word documents, planning, pens, notebooks, calendars, planners, sticky notes… I believe with all of my heart that my desire towards all of those things came from God and that they were given to me for use in my homeschooling journey.
