A Homeschooling Reset: Spring Cleaning your Homeschool

This month, as I have been working through the March MAIDness series, I came across a little card with some Bible references and random ideas scrawled across it. I am forever writing ideas on cards and slips of paper and tucking them away somewhere. This was one of those cards.

I could tell immediately upon glancing at it that it was intended to be an encouragement post for my homeschool mama friends (and myself). So, I sat down and looked up the Bible verses. Right away, I got the drift.

His Word is for now – for such a time as this.

Here’s an excerpt from the resultant post, I wrote as this month’s contribution to Life, Abundantly:

There is light at the end of the tunnel and yet there is still so much work to be done.
I offer these simple ideas for resetting your homeschool as a sort of torch to guide the way to the rest of the year. I hope you find them encouraging. There are three “gets” and a “remember.”
