As we begin our 9th 😲year of homeschooling, our theme is: "Attempt great things for God. Expect great things from God." — William Carey

May your school year be filled with faith, perseverance, and a willingness to trust God in every lesson and every challenge. Here's to another year of growing and expecting great things from Him! 💙💚

One of my favorite questions to ask at the beginning of the school year is:

"If you could learn about one topic (money and time are no issue), what would you learn about?"

Their answers are always the best! 😂

At our house, we've had everything from history of weapons, sewing, coding, watercolor painting, Greek mythology, origami and black holes. I never know what answer is coming next!

Keep those answers in your back pocket. They're perfect for those afternoons when everyone needs a break from the regular routine. Head to the library, pull up a documentary, find a hands-on project, or spend an hour researching together. If you have the opportunity, turn it into a field trip—or even a trip someday! Learning becomes unforgettable when kids get to explore something they're genuinely excited about.

Some of our family's favorite homeschool memories started with one simple question. We just decided to run with their interests, and those rabbit trails often became the lessons they remembered most.

Just be warned...asking this question may result in carrying home an armful of library books on black holes, watching YouTube tutorials on watercolor techniques, pricing sewing machines, or suddenly knowing far more about Greek mythology than you ever expected. 😂

So...what topic would your kids choose? I'd love to hear their answers!
