Letter One: You Got This!
Dear Homeschooling Parents,
I know what you may be thinking — am I about to take on homeschooling? I’ve been there. I remember the moment when the thought of homeschooling went from a distant idea to a reality. It felt overwhelming, daunting, even. But looking back, I can say without hesitation that it has been one of the most rewarding journeys my family has ever taken.
I’m here to tell you, yes, you can do this. I’ve spent years navigating the ups and downs of homeschooling, and now I’m sharing my thoughts with you in a series of letters, much like the ones I’ve written to my own children throughout our homeschool adventure. These letters are a blend of advice, encouragement, and lessons learned from my own experience as a homeschooling mother. Whether you’re just starting out or are deep into your journey, these words are meant to reassure you that you are not alone, and you are more capable than you think.
The homeschooling path can sometimes feel isolating, but it doesn’t have to be. We are a community of parents—new and seasoned—who are here to lift each other up and share the challenges and triumphs. So, take a deep breath, pour yourself a cup of tea, and let’s start this beautiful, messy, life-changing adventure together.
This is just the beginning, and I promise you, it’s going to be worth it. Trust the process. Trust yourself. You got this.
To hope and a future,
Bunmi Lambo
