Summary

Today I want to address the issue of busyness. I think among homeschool moms, it’s especially prevalent because we want to make sure that we aren’t failing our kids, so we often turn to activities to hopefully “fill in the gaps”.  As a culture we idolize busyness. It can make us feel important, like we have something valuable to offer. Everyone wants and needs to feel like they matter, like they have something to bring to the table. But is this a wise way to find that? There is nothing wrong with having a full life, but it's good to check in and make sure that we are keeping a healthy perspective.
