Welcome to Our Homeschool Journey

Before you scroll, take a quiet moment to watch the video below. It’s a small window into what homeschooling means to us—not just books and lessons, but a way of walking through life together with wonder, courage, and trust.

At The Once and Future Homestead, we believe learning begins with love—love of family, of truth, of quiet moments, and of the One who authored every page of our story. Homeschooling isn’t just an educational choice; it’s a lifestyle of discipleship, discovery, and delight.

You won’t find perfection here. You’ll find slow days and silly questions. Muddy boots and bedtime read-alouds. Kitchen table science and middle-of-math tears. And through it all, you’ll find the same gentle rhythm: turning the page, together.

Whether you’re just beginning or looking for fresh inspiration, I hope you’ll find rest, encouragement, and a few ideas here to carry into your own homeschool days.

Welcome, friend. Let’s begin this chapter together.
