The Last Days Way Journal

In my latest blog post, I shared our 3rd grade and Kindergarten curriculum and resources. A few of you reached out to me and said, “I’m so inspired, but also overwhelmed!” First, I want to say this: you will always be overwhelmed if you are doing something that the Holy Spirit doesn’t have for YOUR […]

The Holy Spirit has been so clear with what He wants our family to focus on this year. I’m not immune to the onslaught of FOMO when everyone starts sharing what they’re using- but knowing that we’ve heard His voice keeps us laser focused and content. When I wrote A Spirit-led Guide to Homeschooling, I […]

For our family, Spring and Summer plans look like tying up the loose ends of our Fall and Winter subjects, while also implementing new and fun plans for the warmer months. During the Autumn and Winter, we focused on these subjects. By the time Spring came along, we had already completed our Around the World […]

Ever since my home education journey began back in 2019, I’ve noticed a huge gap in the homeschool community online. While many in the Christian homeschool space would speak of the Holy Spirit being the initiator of their desire to homeschool, I didn’t see many discussing the need for the Holy Spirit in the curation […]

Although the year isn’t quite over, I think I can confidently share what we’ve used and loved. 2nd grade has been such a turning point year. I can honestly say it’s the year we’ve really found our rhythm. I’ve honed in on my style of homeschooling, which is a blend of Charlotte Mason and unschooling. […]

Discipling our children can look just like what Jesus did with His disciples. Instead of saying, “repeat after me,” His invitation was, “Follow Me. Come and See.” The disciples’ lives were swept up in watching Jesus love and serve His Father. Watching Him tend to the needs of the sick. Watching Him stop for the […]

If there is one thing that has completely revolutionized our homeschool, it’s notebooking. Not only is notebooking a beautiful art form; it also packs a huge punch, covering spelling, grammar, sentence structure, vocabulary, handwriting and reading comprehension all in one fell swoop. Let me break it down. What is Notebooking? Simply put, notebooking is writing […]

I can’t tell you how much it warms my heart to recall our very first “formal” year of homeschooling. I will share what we used, and then share my current thoughts! Bible We do our Bible time either during breakfast or directly afterwards cuddled up on the couch. Many times, the kiddos are sprawled out […]

Instead of being frustrated because my children are “keeping me” from having that perfect day in my head, I’ve got to realize that being present with their current sibling fight, or their current question about why all the angels in the Bible are men- is actually what is needed! Obviously plans are good, Doing the […]

Gone are the days when trauma suffices to inform my marriage, my parenting, my home in general. I’ve been there, done that. “My dad did this, so I’m going to make sure I do that.” “I’m going to make sure I’m nothing like *insert person*” If our highest and best is simply not doing what […]
