“You’re so lucky you get to homeschool.”
And sometimes, I really do feel lucky. 🤍
But there’s another side people don’t always see.
The days I’m tired before lessons even begin.
The plans that don’t go as planned.
The quiet worry of
*** Am I doing enough for them? ***
The choosing and re-choosing of books, lessons, habits, and what is truly worth their time.
I didn’t choose homeschooling because I thought it would be easy.
I chose it because I wanted to be present for these little years.
To give them time to wonder.
To notice.
To read good stories.
To know Allah SWT.
To grow in character, not just knowledge.
And some days, I do all of that beautifully.
Other days, we read one story and call it enough.
Because these children are not a project I need to perfect.
They are an AMANAH.
So I keep learning too.
I keep adjusting.
I keep praying.
I keep showing up.
And when tomorrow comes, we begin again.
Not perfectly.
Just faithfully. 🌿🤍
