Homeschool Life & Lessons | A Blog from a Mom Who’s Been There
Welcome to Homeschool Life & Lessons, a blog created by a veteran homeschool mom who has walked the full journey—from kindergarten through high school graduation. I’m Kristi, and I’m here to share real stories, practical tips, and heartfelt encouragement drawn from 17 years of homeschooling my three sons. Whether you’re just getting started or navigating the challenges of the middle and high school years, this blog is a place for support, perspective, and honest conversations. From curriculum choices and homeschool routines to dealing with burnout and celebrating milestones, my hope is that you’ll find wisdom, laughter, and connection here. You’re not doing this alone—pull up a chair and let’s walk this road together.
