What I Learned {January – March 2018}

Instead of writing a monthly What I Learned post, I’ve decided to write one every three months. It just seems more doable during this season of my life.

The first three months of 2018 have taught me about being brave and being true to myself!

Here’s what I learned between January and March…

All I Need Is My Camera

The photo shoots I enjoy most are the ones where I’m out and about with my camera capturing memories for families. I don’t need all the crazy setups. Honestly, that part stresses me out! Just give me my camera and a gorgeous day and I’m happy!

I’m Couragous

There, I said it! I took the leap of faith and we are doing this homeschool thing (the thing I said I’d NEVER do) and even though it scares the snot out of me at times, it makes me brave!

I HAVE to Write

It’s my offering. My ministry. My therapy!

I had several people ask if I was going to blog about our homeschool journey. The night I sat down to write about our decision to homeschool, it became clear that I would indeed blog about this new season.

Writing that post helped me process our decision. I felt a weight lift off my shoulders with each word that appeared on the screen. I also received a lot of positive feedback from other mamas in similar situations as ours.

So, yes! I must write!

School CAN Look Different

Whether it’s taking a trip to the Transportation Museum or writing sight words on the foggy car window, I’m learning that school can look different.

It doesn’t have to happen sitting down or at a desk. It can happen in the car counting and adding mustangs and jeeps. It happens when he spells words out loud from the back seat. Handwriting practice can come in the form of making out Easter cards.

Learning can happen in a thousand ways! Homeschool is about flexibility and making learning fun!
