Boundaries for Homeschoolers

Before I became a mom (even before I became a wife), I read a book that impacted me in countless ways: Boundaries by Cloud & Townsend.

I was inspired to make some much needed changes in my life, and I am still reaping the benefits of how the truths in that book grew me!

The boundaries that I’m currently having to be mindful of look a bit different these days, and I’ve found myself asking the following question before I commit to something new in our schedule.

Outside Programs: The morning programs we attended when my boys were little are not a good fit for us right now: the travel, the time commitment, etc.
