In this video I’m sharing a very honest update about our shift from homeschooling to traditional school—and yes, I’m talking about the question that’s been sitting in the back of my mind: did I make a mistake? I walk through what this transition has looked like for my kids after years at home, including the sweet wins, the hard parts, and the surprises I didn’t fully anticipate. If you’re considering a similar change (or you’re already in the thick of it), I wanted to give you a real-life picture rather than a polished highlight reel. I also share what I’m learning as a mom and teacher as I watch my children adjust—socially, emotionally, and academically—and how I’m processing my own feelings right alongside them. I talk about what’s helped us, what’s been challenging, and the mindset shifts I’m having to make as we redefine what “success” looks like in this season. And if you want a peek into what still shapes my homeschool heart, I mention my free “Best Books for Homeschool Teachers” list and give an update on the Charlotte Mason + classical-inspired language arts curriculum I’m currently creating.
