We adopted from foster care a few years ago . I struggle with keeping upbeat and positive with a child who is argumentative and often unhappy. He hates school and our days are often battle to get much work done. He often lies about doing his work and has anger issues. I’m am rapidly burning out. Does anyone have any words of wisdom and encouragement

But I do like both this blog and your personal one for inspiration on how to be a good mama for my littles. I do also take away tips on what to do after school or maybe for a weekend project, or simply just how to support my children’s learning at home. And I love the fact that this place is so inclusive!

All of the reasons you listed for this blog have resonated with me since the beginning. Our family has made a change to the Classical homeschooling model this year and I’ve never felt that switch makes your blog irrelevant; on the contrary, I love reading different ideas to enhance our experience. I’ve recently deactivated my Facebook account due to all the “noise” it fills my head with in this season of life, so I look forward even more to hopping over to your space here a couple times a week. Thank you!

Over the past few years, this blog has absolutely filled me with inspiration, confidence and freedom. The best worksheets out there can’t give me that. And… I absolutely leave feeling: “Maybe homeschooling isn’t as hard as I thought. Maybe I really can do this. Maybe I am the best teacher for my kids. Maybe I don’t need an expert to tell me what to do.” : ) Keep up the great work!!

Such a treasure. My children are about the same age as yours & it’s very interesting how our journeys are similar.
What I love:
It’s encouraging.
The book love & book lists.
Many authors.
It’s real.
It’s not “homeschool only”.
The weekend links!!!
Reruns. It’s so interesting to read an article twice at 2 different times in my homeschooling career.
And finally, no searching. I feel everything is brought to my virtual front door.

Thanks for your time & effort.

SH has been a source of freedom and confidence for me over the past 2 years as I began homeschooling. Thank you for such wonderful vision and hard work to make it happen! I would love to hear more about delayed academics, I really love the sound of this for my 2 boys but feel like I am the only one.
Thanks so much
Rachael

As a relatively new homeschooler, I am plagued with insecurity and worry. Whenever I find myself at your blog, I feel more peaceful, committed and confident about our decision to homeschool. Thank you!!!You have gotten me through some dark homeschooling hours.

My daughter is four and this year we took our first steps into “formal” homeschooling and the decision that we probably will not enroll her in kindergarten next year. The idea of homeschooling resonates so clearly in my heart but the realities are disheartening. This blog has been a help and resource to me. Yes, there are other homeschooling blogs, many of them are great. But this is one of the few where I was granted peace and hope about our family’s future in homeschooling. We don’t have it all figured out and we’re just taking it a day (and sometimes an hour) at a time. You make me feel like I can really do this and that I don’t have to justify myself to anyone. Thank you so much.

Thanks for taking time to leave such a detailed comment, Denita! Part of the reason I wanted to define and clarify a bit about Simple Homeschool is that I don’t expect it’s the right fit for everyone. We all need different things in different seasons and that’s totally okay.
