About

You don’t have to homeschool alone.

If social media is too loud, but you still want some online encouragement, this blog is where weary mothers can come and be encouraged as I share my own journey – the beautiful parts and the hard parts. The year 2026 will begin our ninth year homeschooling – and I am still learning. Come learn with me.

About

Welcome to my blog, A Heart for Homeschooling – you are so welcome here.

Hi there.

My name is Sarah. I am a wife and mother from New Zealand, a follower of Christ, and – unexpectedly – a home educator. Neither my husband nor I planned to homeschool, but God knew all along.

We have been homeschooling from the beginning and it has been an incredible journey – hard, difficult, precious, fun, and such a blessing. I have learned so much a long the way and I love encouraging others on their journey, also. Hence, A Heart for Homeschooling was born.

Why Blog?

In 2023, it feels like a silly thing to start a blog. Peoples attention spans are shorter than ever, and most likely, their time too. But something so important – to you, dear mother – needs more than short, pithy notes or even lengthy videos. I know what I needed when I was starting out – and what I still need – and that is, well-thought, well-written, and well-studied articles to help make that enormous decision to homeschool (and let’s face it, keep homeschooling!).

My hope and aim here is to inform, to encourage, and to share through our own journey, as well as my own mistakes and processes, why home educating is so important for your family, and for you as a mother.
