We Didn't Start School This Week

We had the perfect back-to-school plan.
Schedules prepped.
Kids excited.
I was ready.
But then the phone rang…
And everything shifted.

So instead of starting school, I showed up where I was needed.
My kids spent three full days with their grandparents—
walking trails, playing pickleball, doing crafts, making memories.

✨And you know what?
It was exactly the right kind of learning.

This is the beauty of homeschooling:
The freedom to say yes to real life.
To choose people over plans.
To know that textbooks can wait—but moments like these won’t last forever.

💬 Ever had to hit pause on the plan for something more meaningful? Share it below—we need reminders that this is why we homeschool.
