I have so many #education -related #wishes for my 3 little cubs (& any more that come our way) but above all the knowledge gained, achievements made, and competitions won, it is my wish they our pedagogical approach will ensure that they remain FOREVER CLOSE and ALWAYS INSPIRING AND EMPOWERING ONE ANOTHER in their respective journeys towards their truest selves. I wish for them to #forever and #always be each other's greatest #champions. One of my favorite benefits to home-based education (though it also happens to be one of the biggest challenges at times) is that they spend SO MUCH time together unlike siblings who attend traditional schools. Every day they individually contribute to the collective experience. It is exactly what we want. I know it doesn't work for everyne but it makes this mama's heart sooooo #HAPPY #itshappyhere #mamasmakehappy #free2behappy #free2become #freeschooling #momlife #siblings #wishful #wishfulheart

Sorry I am getting this in late. I've had it planned for over 2 weeks. It is a double-faceted bust, my friends. Here goes: *To ALL the young mamas, most of us (less young) mamas aren't judging you or questioning your abilities as a mama to your sweet babes so don't assume that all of us are! And *ALL older mamas, if you are one of the few making young mamas feel judged or criticized, do NOT assume every young mama is lacking in mama skills. Age does not determine "mamabilities"! It seems that many people in society assume that young mamas are directly linked to all sorts of problems like child neglect, child abuse, & child poverty. Actually those links are purely anecdotal and not backed by research. There is no magical AGE that makes a woman ready or worthy to become a mama. In fact, there are huge advantages to having babies when young and there are advantages to waiting until later in one's life. Either way, don't judge a mama by her age or assume she is judging you for yours! #mamasneedeachother #mamasmakehappy #happyhashtagaday #mythbustinmonday
