Mom, Are You Neglecting Your Priorities? Serving Outside the Home

Hi Friends! I have thought a lot about this post and prayed about it quite a bit that I don’t offend. But I struggle with this, and I see so…

    You guys know I love a good Bible resource for kid You guys know I love a good Bible resource for kids, and I have a new one to share with you all! 👏🏼 ​ ​I was recently gifted a copy of Core52 Family Edition from one of the authors, @meganhowerton, and we are loving it. It would also be an excellent addition to your homeschool routine and Bible studies. ​ ​Core52 Family Edition is geared toward elementary-aged kiddos and can be done easily in about 10-15 minutes each day. So you can add this to other Bible curricula you may be using or use it on its own. ​ ​But it has a lesson plan that your family can work through in 5 days each week. Each week includes reading Bible selections, scripture memory work, challenges, discussion, and more.Your kids will get to cover essential topics and questions over 52 weeks, such as: ​ ​💗How Can I Connect With God? ​💗What Do I Have To Do To Be Saved? ​💗What Is God's Solution To Racism? ​ ​ ​Knowing God's word is of utmost importance to my family, and I know that many of you agree. You guys are going to love this one too! ​ ​👀If you want to take a peek, you can visit core52.org/family and grab week one's study. ​ ​ ​ ​#core52family #core52 #christianfamily #christianmoms #christianhomeschoolfamily #thisishowwehomeschool #instabook #booksforkids #christianbooksforkids #homeschoolfamily #homeschoolmom #gracegrowedify #christianbooks #family #biblestudy #biblestudyforkids #bibleideasforkids #childrensministry #biblicalliteracy #bibleresourcesforkids #bibleresources #sponsored #familybibleideas #biblicalparenting #biblicalmotherhood #intentionalparenting #bibleforkids #family #familybiblestudy ​

    “Talent is a pursued interest. Anything that you “Talent is a pursued interest. Anything that you're willing to practice, you can do.” - Bob Ross My husband recently gifted me this custom Lego Bob Ross, isn’t it wonderful? 🎨🖼 Bob has a permanent spot on my desk now. He reminds me of many years of watching him on PBS painting happy little trees with my grandparents. 🥰 Memories I will cherish forever.
    This is the last back-to-homeschool picture I will This is the last back-to-homeschool picture I will take of one of these kiddos. Yep. For the 2022-2023 homeschool year, we are homeschooling a senior (gasp!), a third grader, and a second grader. The time has indeed flown, but I feel incredibly grateful for all the extra hours I have had watching my sweet Jules grow up over the years! 💝Homeschooling her is one of the best and most challenging things I have ever done. All the days of learning alongside her and fostering her interests are coming to fruition now. To say I am proud of her is an understatement; she has become a beautiful and talented young lady with the world ahead of her. 🌎 I can not wait to see what God has planned for her!

    It really is the most wonderful time of the year.. It really is the most wonderful time of the year...if you are a homeschool mom, of course! Ah, researching, carefully curating, and purchasing new curricula - you are my people if you love this part of homeschooling too. 🫶 ​ ​Through the years, I have reviewed and researched a lot of different curricula. If you are looking for reviews for particular things, always know that you can DM me, and I will shoot you a link to a review if I have one. Or I can also point you to someone I know and trust if I don't have a review for whatever you are looking for. 💁🏻‍♀️ ​ ​And today, I want to show you some happy homeschool mail we just received! 👏🏼 If you are looking for hands-on science for any age, we love these Science Unlocked Kits from Home Science Tools. (Here is a link to a review that can tell you all about them: https://gracegrowedify.com/2021/06/14/homeschool-science-kit/ or DM me, and I can shoot you this link.) ​ ​Science Unlocked Kits are super flexible and incredibly easy to use. They are also perfect for any age!

    One of the things that has blessed me in various s One of the things that has blessed me in various seasons of homeschooling is being able to fellowship with other homeschool moms. Even though I am an introvert and rarely make social plans, I occasionally enjoy a good conversation with friends. It’s one of those things where you don’t realize how much you needed that interaction until it’s over. Fellowshipping with other homeschool moms always feeds the soul, and I feel lighter after a friendly get-together. 💖⁣ ⁣ But, with all the children and busyness in our lives, how can we be intentional about fellowshipping together? After leading a local homeschool group for almost six years, I have a few ideas for you. Some successful gatherings didn’t take much effort, yet they blessed many of us.⁣ ⁣ 👉You can read all of the ideas here and make sure you scroll to the bottom of the post and enter to win one of five $100 gift cards for a Mother's Day Giveaway!💝💐⁣ https://gracegrowedify.com/2022/04/27/homeschool-moms/⁣ ⁣ Or tap the link in my bio for more info -> @gracegrowedify⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #homeschoolmom #homeschool #homeschooling #homeschoollife #homeschoolersofinstagram #homeschoolblogger #homeschoolmoms #homeschoolmomsofig #christianfamily #homeschoolfamily #SAHM #gracegrowedify #giveaway #ihsnet #homeeducators #homeeducators #mothersdaygift #mothersday #homeschoolers #homeeducation #homeschoolcommunity #homeschoolmomlife #momsofinstagram #fellowship #christianmom #homeschoolgroup #
