Instagram is where you will get a true behind the scenes look at our journey. Be sure to check our Instagram stories where I share everything from at home education lessons to the naming of our pool toys. I like instagram stories because they delete in 24 hours so I post more personal content in that space. Our Instagram feed is also filled with fun photos and insights as we move through toward the Land of Milk & Honey (LOMAH).

I was asked today how I came up with Miranda’s curriculum. My response was that it has been pieced together bit by bit ‼️BUT‼️ I’ve had since Feb of 2019 to do so. It took some time for it to grow into all the pieces that make it up now.
I was asked today how I came up with Miranda’s curriculum. My response was that it has been pieced together bit by bit ‼️BUT‼️ I’ve had since Feb of 2019 to do so. It took some time for it to grow into all the pieces that make it up now. As I move(d) along, areas of need become (became) clear and I would add on stuff. ❗️SO❗️ For anyone out there putting too much pressure on yourself I would say, trust yourself in knowing what your kid needs and be patient as the pieces fall into place. It won’t happen overnight or even after a few months but once our kids go back to school (I’m hoping mine does, too!) we will now be that much stronger in supporting the educational team in developing appropriate goals for our kiddos.

One of my favorite things about participating in the education of my children at this time is taking the time.
