Dana McDill and Jessica Frierson, October 2022 Much like life itself, the course of homeschooling is not about the destination but the journey. Reaching that moment when we present our child with a diploma may be the prevailing image when we consider a vision for our homeschool. However, the journey to get to that point is what will shape our child’s future in an even greater way. Know Where You Are Going When starting any new endeavor, it is important to know where you are going. At whatever stage of your homeschooling journey you may be, I encourage you to...

 In the summer of 2022, we moved back to Vanuatu. What a blast into the past! It was like the twilight zone because we left the house in pristine condition, and we come back and everything has degraded over the three years we were gone. But it's been pretty glorious. We came the first week that Vanuatu had opened up since COVID, but Hyrum did not come with us because...of COVID..... But he LOVED being left behind!

  I became a dad in January, 2014. It was a day I will never forget. It was almost surreal as I drove my spouse through an ice storm to get her to the hospital, and then flagging down security there because the parking lot elevator wasn’t responding. I also won’t forget the first time I saw my son “smile” (although it was probably just gas.) I have the image as my lockscreen, so it’s kind of hard to forget. (Aww.) However, the next few years are patchy for me. We were both neck-deep in changing diapers, coddling him to...
