Hey, !

Let’s take a moment to pause together, right here in the middle of the dishes, the lesson plans, and the snack requests. I want to remind you of something simple but often forgotten: you are the key to a successful homeschool.

Yes, the curriculum matters. Yes, the routines help. But your presence, your patience, your joy (and let’s be honest, your sanity) are what hold the whole thing together. And that means taking care of you isn’t selfish…it’s essential.

So what if, instead of trying to run on empty, we made a little space for you in your day? Just a few simple ways to nourish your heart and mind, so you can keep pouring into theirs.

Here are a few ideas to help you refill your cup:

🫖 1. Make a “Mom Mug Moment” Part of Your Day

Even if it’s just 10 minutes before the kids wake up or during quiet time, pick a cozy spot, pour your favorite coffee or tea, and pair it with Scripture or a devotional. It doesn’t have to be long to be meaningful. (Psst...light a candle for bonus calm.)

🛁 2. Put Yourself on the Evening Routine

After bedtime stories and teeth brushing, make time for your own wind-down routine, think a hot bath with Epsom salts, a good book, or a little journaling. Your peace at night will fuel your purpose in the morning.

📚 3. Lighten the Load Where You Can (Hint: Teaching Textbooks!)

Homeschooling doesn’t have to mean doing everything yourself. If math is becoming a daily battle (or just one more thing on your plate), consider something like Teaching Textbooks.

It’s a full math curriculum that teaches for you, with automated grading, interactive lessons, and built-in review. It frees you up to focus on what matters most in your homeschool, or to just sip that hot cup of coffee before it goes cold.

💅 4. Do One Thing That’s Just for You Each Week

Paint your nails, go for a walk alone, call a friend, create something beautiful. It doesn’t need to be extravagant, just something that reminds you you’re more than a homeschool mom. You’re a whole person, too.

So go ahead, friend. Be kind to yourself. Your children are watching how you care for others, but they’re also watching how you care for yourself. And when you model rest, joy, and reliance on God’s grace, you’re teaching them more than any textbook ever could.
