Hey, there, I’m Mary!

I created WhatAboutHomeschooling.com with a desire to help, encourage, and provide support for parents getting started on their homeschool journey.

I homeschooled 4 children from preschool all the way through high school graduation, and I wouldn’t trade those years for anything. It was not always easy, but It was definitely worth it.

~For those who are just starting out, I hope to have lots of information on how to start homeschooling, where to find homeschool curricula, how to not get overwhelmed, and to help you see that you are absolutely qualified to teach your children at home.

~Maybe you already started homeschooling, and sometimes the days seem long, and the challenge to keep going seems to get harder and harder. Sometimes life hits us with situations that put school on the back burner, or makes us wonder if we can or should continue to homeschool. I want to encourage you that it is worth all the sacrifices and struggles. The real-life lessons our children learn as they watch us persevere through hard times teach them better than any schoolbooks ever could.

~You also may be worried about what the future holds for your child or what you will do once you finish homeschooling. I will just say that God is good, and he has a plan for all of this. I remember when my children were young, and I was asking other seasoned homeschoolers what their secret was for how their children turned out. The only response I ever got was “Lots of prayer.”  I hated that answer, because I wanted something I could physically to do help my children along, but I now know that was the only right answer. Your children can dream about being anything, or work towards what they believe is their life’s calling, and you can rest in God, knowing he has a plan and purpose for them.  Proverbs 16:9 says, “A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.”

~Finally, I also wanted a place where you could come to find inexpensive, quality supplemental materials for your homeschool. That’s s why I decided to use my knowledge and experience along with my love of writing to create unique, digital faith-based, educational materials to support you and your children in your homeschool journey. I hope they are a blessing to you and your children.
