Note to Self

March 20, 2012 by Ami 18 Comments

On your mark

get set

STOP.

Stop buying {more} curriculum.

Stop trying to keep up with other homeschooling moms.

Stop comparing your kids with other kids.

Stop wishing your days were easier.

Stop wasting so much time on the computer. 

Start

recognizing the giftedness your children possess.

embracing the blessing God has given.

praying over your children every morning.

believing that less is more.

Start homeschooling . . . on purpose.

    Haha! I found this post so funny. I suddenly thought of the things that I need to stop. I think I have to shout at myself to stop what I have to.
