To First-Year Homeschool Moms

If this is your first year homeschooling you may be tempted to try to do everything perfectly. Please don't. Or do. Whatever works for you. You have to feel your way around this minefield that is educating your own kids, friends.

Try out unschooling or try out ordering curriculum or try out making your own curriculum or try out unit studies or whatever is in between. Just do me a favor, would you?

Give yourself a break.

Okay, two favors.

The other one is, don't compare yourself to the veterans.

But do ask for their help. Seek out someone who won't try to intimidate you or give you bossy, perfectionist advice and make friends.

Good luck. You can do this!
