As volunteers in the church our goal is to serve Christ. Jesus wanted us to understand the importance of leading the children to Him, so at the end of the day when you’re exhausted, over-stimulated, and maybe a little frustrated, just remember all of the sweet faces that heard the name Jesus that day. “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14 LINK IN BIO • • • • • #schoolinreyes #schoolinreyesdoesvbs #vbs #vacationbibleschool #unschoolish

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend! We had a blast Saturday swimming and painting, and lots of good food and fun on Sunday. Today I’m going to be hanging out with spray-and-wash and bleach because I was the crazy person who put her wildling girls in white. 😂😂 #Schoolinreyes #unschoolishlife #easterweekend

Having zone chores doesn’t always mean a tidy house. Most of the time, having a clear space at the table to eat is a win when our kitchen table IS our homeschool space. My house isn’t perfect, and probably won’t ever be. I used to feel like I was failing as a mother, as a person, if I couldn’t keep up with the mess. That I couldn’t make friends if my house wasn’t presentable, that family would snicker behind my back if they ever dropped by. I’m in a place where those things do not bother me anymore, where I truly don’t mind if how I keep my house ends up the subject of conversation. Maybe it’s the size of our family; maybe it’s the size of our house. Maybe it’s just the fact that I’m happy with who we are— who I am. No matter what causes me to look at this mess and be proud of the troll houses created, the elaborate paper airplanes made, or the pictures painted, I’m glad for it. I’m relieved I’ve released myself from the stress of being perfect and tidy. I’m content with having to rehang that picture that was knocked off one nail when a cardboard airplane took it out, and I’m grateful for the supplies and ability to expand our minds through art, play, and a whole lot of mess. #schoolinreyes #unschoolers #homeschoolers #lifeschoolers #lifenotperfection

Day 29- Break Last night I spent the evening with some super awesome homeschooling moms as we discussed (And didn’t discuss.) The Brave Learner. I didn’t realize how much I needed that break until I was driving home. Discussing goals and plans with other moms makes the things you stress about as a homeschooler feel much easier to handle, and fills your cup. I came home last last night to these drawings Ella left on the counter. Last nights conversations and seeing these just further cemented my beliefs. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to nurture their talents at home any time of the day, any day of the week.

Day 28- Friends We’re homeschooled, we don’t have friends. Just kidding. 😂🤘🏼 We’re blessed with many outlets to meet new friend but our favorite by far is our homeschool group and craft club. #schoolinreyes #lifeofahomeschoolmom #homeschoolmominstagramchallenge

Day 27- Easter This Easter will be spent at our church after service. We’re going to play outdoor games, fellowship, hunt for candy and spend quality family time. I’m looking forward to it! #schoolinreyes #homeschoolmominstagramchallenge #lifeofahomeschoolmom

Day 26- Special The only kid I omit from the weekly grocery trip rotation (I take one kid each week for alone time.) is Emma. She’s just not ready for the long trips, and is literally attached to my hip 99.9% of the time, so they’re kind of a reprieve from small hands for me. Sometimes Herman will take the kids to visit grandma and I’ll stay behind with Emma for quiet time. You notice so many little things about your kids when you get rare, and special alone time. I took these videos the other day after she got some new panties and t-shirts for summer, and the other kids had gone to town with Dad. Girl’s got some moves. 😂😂😂

Day 25- Faith I have faith in... the Lord My children My spouse Friends Family Love I have faith that... Loss is inevitable Pain is unavoidable Trust is irreplaceable Time is irretrievable ➕➕➕➕➕➕➕ Faith isn’t just about believing in something or someone, it’s also confidence in things, even small things, you know will occur in this life. #homeschoolmominstagramchallenge #schoolinreyes #lifeofahomeschoolmom

Day 24- Marriage Herman and I have quite a story. We met in high school, had two (Almost three.) kids and lived on our own before Herman graduated. We had an amazing support system that encouraged us with the kids and life, and here we still are ten years later. That doesn’t mean we didn’t have issues, we learned to be adults AND parents together. We both questioned more than once what we were doing, and have helped each other through tough times. I wouldn’t trade a minute of it, because all of it has brought us closer than ever. People always say you go through a “honeymoon” phase early on, but where we are now versus where we were then is a much better and loving place. Our relationship has been worth it all, and not just for the kids, but for us too. #lifeofahomeschoolmom #schoolinreyes #homeschoolmominstagramchallenge

Day 23- Family I’m totally bombing at keeping up with this challenge. That just means we’re busy doing fun things, right? 😂😆 Here is the most recent picture of our family. There’s a lot of us, and there gonna be another soon. We’re loud and wild, but full of love. #lifeofahomeschoolmom #schoolinreyes #homeschoolmominstagramchallenge
