Hope, I admire anyone who prioritizes, full stop. Whatever you need to do right now -- for this season or for ever -- you have done incredible work here and that's something to be proud of. Cheering you on, so hard, no matter what 😘

Hope, you are amazing! Your vulnerable authenticity is such an encouragement. I think weekly posts will be perfect and I so remember being Mom ( and homeschool Mom) with more plans than I ever had time. God is good and helps us with the stuff He knows matters most, so I pray for His strength and peace as you lean into Him everyday and look to Him for balance. Know that He is using all you've given!

Thank you so much for these kind words and this prayer; whew, it's so encouraging to hear from moms who have gone before me (especially when I get to hear from their sweet daughter who speaks so fondly of her upbringing.)

You have built up a great body of work. Setting priorities at this phase of life (knowing when to say when, or no) is incredibly important. Keep the faith and find the joy.

That means SO much, Glenn. I've learned a good bit from your own work about priority-setting and leaning into different seasons of life. I appreciate you!

Hope, this newsletter was/is amazing. It was so helpful to me and Hazel. In fact, it was one of the reasons I started thinking about homeschooling (& ultimately decided to try it). That being said, you’ve got a very full plate and sleeping is often very beneficial 😜. Right now, I’m working two jobs and have my daughter at home. I am in survival mode trying to do it all well and I know how trying to do too much isn’t helpful for anyone. I will look forward to your once a week newsletter and your notes. ❤️
