In this Africa vlog, I’m taking you along for a few days leading up to Christmas—real life homeschool days, little routines, and the simple moments that make living abroad feel so special. It’s not a “perfectly curated” week; it’s the normal flow of our home with six kids, where we’re fitting in learning where we can and soaking up the season at the same time. I also share some of the neighborly sweetness that makes our community feel like home—those small treats and gestures that honestly mean so much when you’re far from extended family. And of course, we wrap it up with our Christmas Eve dinner, which is one of my favorite traditions because it slows us down and brings everyone together. If you’re a homeschool family (or just love family vlogs), I hope this video feels like a cozy reminder that the best memories are usually in the in-between moments.
