When Taylor was in public school, he was honestly the perfect student. In fact, often at conferences when the teacher would go on and on about my son, I would stop her and clarify that we were talking about the same kid. So when I decided to start homeschooling, I was really praying he’d take that same work ethic and apply it around me as well. Well… not so much. Apparently, he’s quite comfortable getting into trouble at “school” these days.

I worry about everything when it comes to my daughter’s future. What’s going to hurt her?  What’s going to make her happy? What’s going to affect her? What’s going to influence her? I think it’s my job to take on all that worry. At end of the day though, all I can do is raise the most well-adjusted little girl that I can.

I build my kids up as often as possible, but there is one word I really believe makes them puff their chests with pride and that word is “Wow.” Wow is something my mom started and when she would rave about my homework, a basketball game or even a cleaned room, I felt so good about myself. I want my kids to know I appreciate their efforts and that I think they’re amazing, so I make sure and “wow” it up around here just like my mom did when I was growing up.
