How We Started Homeschooling | Homeschooling Mama of Four | Life Update - New Member of the Family

In today's video I'm sharing a few little updates on what's kept us so busy and a little MIA for the last month...I promise it's extra adorable. And then I'm sitting down for a chit chat conversation to talk about all the things we went through before, during and after our initial decision to homeschool our kids.

Thank you for sharing this with us 🤍🤎

You are so brave Tay, thanks for sharing this! It really struck a cord with me when you mentioned the lack of support, or even more so, resistance from your family, as I have dealt with similar. My parents are both primary school teachers and they both teach at the same school and my husband is also currently studying to become a teacher...so the irony that I am going to be homeschooling our children is funny although challenging. I have been praying about it for years and have had confirmation from the Lord a lot, and praise Him for if he has called you to it, He will sustain you through it. After years now of prepping them for this, we start official school lessons next year with our oldest, they are very sceptical soon and can be still judgemental however they have come around to it a lot more now. Praise God! I do believe that God will continue to work on their hearts, as well as my own in this journey. It was so nice to hear that I am not alone in this, God continue to bless you and your family abundantly! You are doing so great! Love Steph, from Australia

Steph I love and appreciate these words of transparency and encouragement!! 🥹🫶🏼 Praying for your homeschool journey and know that you’ve got a friend here that truly understands your struggles and wants to lift you up as you embark on this new adventure!! 🤍🤍🤍

This is where i am! My family doesnt agree and thinks im keeping him home for me and finally im starting during his 1st grade year. He hated kindergarten too and it broke my heart. Im in NJ but id love to be friends! We have so much in common

[@tayshabib]

I’m so sorry 😣 having unsupportive family always makes things harder

[@ashleyirizarry-diaz6415]

I just love how raw and honest and real you are. And regardless of having no support from immediate family, you still showed up and showed them your determination to cultivate a safe and nurturing space for you children. Mama knows best! You are such an inspiration thank you for sharing!

[@tayshabib]

I can’t even begin to express how incredibly grateful I am for these words of kindness, affirmation and support! Thank you so so much! 🥹🫶🏼

[@mrs.jaywojo5426]

Ohh girl, I hear you on some family members saying rude things... we are on year 4 of homeschool and will not go back :)

[@tayshabib]

Glad to hear you were able to brush off those rude comments! It’s not always easy to move forward but glad you’re doing it! 👏🏼👏🏼

[@mrs.jaywojo5426]

@@tayshabib Yeah, it was disheartening, but I am only being obedient to the One who called me to do this and who helped facilitate it! Praise God!
