"I recommend “The Busy Homeschool Mom” because it’s my number one reminder that God comes first and then my husband comes before EVERYTHING else. As homeschool moms, our families and marriages can fall apart when we get it out of order. When I first found TBHM, I was thrilled to see that putting my husband before kids was the RIGHT thing to do. Such a marriage changer! What a joy to celebrate being “That Girl” and sharing with other mom friends that they are also “THAT girl”. My husband definitely says thank you for helping me get my priorities in order!" - Tracye
"Your blog reminds me that I’m not just a mom who homeschools but that by investing in my children and sheparding their hearts I am directly impacting eternity. What a high calling it is to be a mother!" - Danielle
"I just LOVE that your wisdom and encouragement is GENUINE and rooted in the Word." - Jennie
"I read your post everyday and look forward to them everyday. They are so uplifting, especially to someone who is about to pull their 3rd grader out of public school and start the wonderful adventure of homeschooling. I can only imagine how much I will benefit once he is at home being taught by me." - Wendy
"As someone who started out as a secular homeschooler, finding your blog was a turning point for me. I have felt supported by this online community as my reasons for continuing to homeschool have changed and are more to do with God and less to do with the SAT’s each day. I tell others about your blog in hopes they will be inspired as well." - Elizabeth
"I am a new homeschool mom and was ready to give up when I stumbled across your site. I read your site and cried and cried. I realized I wasn’t alone and that I could do this – your site encourages me." - Andrea
"Character before Curriculum is my new motto and I think I have a pretty fantastic little boy because of it!" - Elizabeth
"Your blog is like a hug, a bit of camaraderie, somewhere I can check in and see that I’m really doing all right and I’m not alone out here." - Katie
"Oh my gosh it’s great just knowing that I’m not alone in the busy homeschool mom world!! There are others who go thru what I do or feel how I feel and I (and my kids) will survive!! Haha Heidi, you encourage me everyday just by being real! You encourage me to love my kiddos and hubby more! I so appreciate all your wisdom! God bless you!!!" - Sarah
You have helped me to stay positive on the difficult days, remember to make time for my husband everyday and the importance of building relationships with my kids. We have learned more about God and the Bible since we started homeschooling just a few years ago and are loving our homeschooling journey! Your book “Daylight” was such a blessing!! It really helped me to reflect on my day and work on making the best use of my time. Still working on setting realistic goals and so much more!! : ) Thank you for your inspiring words and for sharing your journey!!
I love your posts. This is my second year of homeschooling and you are so encouraging. I love how you say that marriage comes before mothering. I have been following that idea and it is great. My husband and I have a wonderful marriage and our children only benefit from that. I have learned not to not feel guilty to go out on a date with my husband. We need that time together, and I think the kids need to see us take that time together. It will hopefully help them build a strong marriage in their future. Thank you also for all your, “Ready, set, goes” in the morning!” On with that list and fill up the crockpot!” Your the best, Thanks!
