Hi, I’m Cynthia! I started this blog to encourage and be encouraged. I’m a high school dropout who had the “audacity” to pull her kids out of the public school system and homeschool them with only 9th grade education.

When I first started homeschooling, I felt overwhelmed, lost, fearful, and intimidated by all the “qualified” homeschool moms I encountered. Over the past 11 years of homeschooling 5 kids (2 of which have graduated) I have learned so much about my children and myself.

I’ve learned that homeschool does not need to look like public school and that our homeschool doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s either. I’ve learned to forgive myself and feel proud that I’m one of the few that have chosen the courageous path of home education. I’ve also learned that I can learn alongside my children and that I don’t have to know everything in order to teach them!

With that I welcome you to my little corner of the world! I hope you feel encouraged and loved! ❤️
