Homeschool Reflections
As I approach the final years of my homeschooling journey, I am filled with reflections. Currently, I see all the things I could have done as I overlook all the things we did do. However, I do believe there’s tremendous value in looking back and seeing how things could have been improved. No journey is without its trials and successes, and when we reflect, we have the perspective, wisdom and experience to evaluate our journey. This series looks at regrets, loves, and challenges. Some challenges, well most truly, were a reflection of my development and growth. I hope you enjoy this series with levity, joy and an open heart.

My #1 Homeschool REGRET | My first of many reflections after 23 years of homeschooling.
I'm at the point in my homeschooling journey where I can thoughtfully share several homeschooling regrets. Here's the first one. I regret I didn't focus more on language development with lessons in memorization, poetry, verses and classics. While we did do these lessons, we didn't do them often enough and with consistency. Along with these lessons, I regret not spending more time with the mechanics of writing including spelling and penmanship.
