Opinions can vary greatly and the debate can get heated amongst parents when it comes to organized sports. And then let's throw in the homeschool element and the lines can be drawn.

No matter where you fall on the spectrum, I think we can all agree that homeschool families should be intentional about how they spend their time. We already do that when choosing curriculum, so why not with extra-curricular activities such as sports?

Let's have a friendly conversation about it and weigh the pros and cons so you can make a decision that aligns best with your family. And then, give grace for others to make their own intentional decision.

You'll want to grab a pen and paper to jot down some important questions to consider!

Ah, the age-old socialization question...

No matter where you homeschool or how long you've been doing it, you will be asked about socializing your children. We often roll our eyes and bite our tongues.

But, as a homeschool parent, you may have a legitimate concern about your child being stigmatized as a weird homeschooler.

We're taking a fun poke at socialization and weirdness in today's episode. I hope you have fun with it too, but also walk away with some solid tips about this topic.

When you're in the trenches of homeschooling, you wonder if all of this is worth it?

The academics, discipleship, life skills, character building, activities, housework...and on and on. It sure would be nice to have some confirmation that you're on the right track.

Drawing from our 15 years of homeschooling, I'm sharing some major moments that confirmed my family's decision to homeschool. My hope is that you can see these right now in your life and that it gives you the encouragement you need to continue on.
