Coming to terms with the past, and pressing forwar

Coming to terms with the past, and pressing forward with grace, that’s all any of us can do.Lately, I’ve been asking myself some hard questions… especially when it comes to homeschooling.Here’s the truth:I can’t keep homeschooling the way I’ve been doing it.I’m not a teacher in the traditional sense, and I don’t love teaching. That’s not why we chose this path.The real reason we homeschool is because we want our kids to have freedom.🌟 Freedom to learn how to learn🩵 Freedom to discover what they love😀 Freedom to grow in diligence and live out their faith boldlyBut as I wrestle with our present, I’ve also had to face my past.I was homeschooled, too.There were a lot of blessings in that, but also some challenges. I grew up in a conservative environment where the focus was often on sheltering kids. And while I know that came from a place of love, it was hard. Especially as a teenager trying to figure out what I believed for myself.In our family’s younger years, our homeschool rhythm has been pretty relaxed, mostly workbooks and flexible days. But moving forward, things are going to look different.Here’s what I do know about the road ahead (and I’ll share more in upcoming reels):— We’re still homeschooling… just reimagining it.— We’re asking the Holy Spirit to lead our family.— Our kids know the Gospel, and that’s our foundation.— We want to live with intention and boldness.— We’re giving our kids space to try new things while they’re still at home.— I’m praying for a gracious heart when the questions come (because they will come).Maybe this resonates with you. Maybe you’ve felt that tension too, between what you grew up with and what you want to build now.If so, you’re not alone. 🫶🌟(continued in the comments)Follow our journey!

Seriously, SO many cute impulse buys. But I didn’t get any of them. 😅😌 🌟 Inspiring families to live creatively and make memories, through adventures 🌎🩵➡️ follow along! @createplaytravel#travelwithkids #travelhighlights #explorefrance #createplaytravel

Beautiful architecture like this is so fun to stumble upon while going about every day life in Europe. 😀🌻 I love the cultural & historic discoveries we find almost everywhere we look. 😌🌍Tag a friend who loves going on adventures! 🫶Follow along for more creative family travel!@createplaytravel

Throwback to a year ago. ❤️ We did it! 🥹😎 I had our baby in Merida MX and with some effort, we got her documents lined up to bring her home. She’s a dual citizen, with double US & MX birth certificates and passports. 🌎🌟It was a great experience! 😌🌄😍 We felt like God was with us, led us through the whole process, and provided for us so tangibly even in the small things. 💗🎬 Watch my YouTube video highlighting what we learned by having a baby in Mexico!🌟 Inspiring families to live creatively and make memories, through adventures! 🌎🩵➡️ follow along! @createplaytravel#digitalnomads #birthingabroad #worldschoolingfamily #adventurefamily #travelwithbaby

Tuscany villa stay straight out of a fairytale! ✨🌿🇮🇹This overnight at an “agriturismo” was perfect for our family of 6. 🌹🍷 We loved staying in our cozy villa, exploring the gorgeous tree lined lane, smelling roses, and sipping local wine while our kids played in the yard. Our host even made us an amazing Italian dinner! 🙌Would you stay in a villa like this with your kids?? We loved this amazing cultural experience in Italy!💬 Agriturismos are working farms that welcome guests (like us!) to stay on the property, creating memorable & local experiencesTag a friend who would love this! 🇮🇹🌟 Hi! We’re the Wallace family. 👋😀 We love traveling with our 4 kids, homeschooling, and exploring — follow along as we Create. Play. Travel. 🌟#travelwithkids #exploreitaly

Pompeii with kids?? 🌋 Absolutely! We had such an amazing time exploring — we had to come back a second day. Highlights included:Visiting the gladiator arena in Pompeii. 🏛️Walking along ancient streets, so well preserved!Exploring what’s left of the shops & eateries.Viewing 2,000 year old artifacts like bottles and bread! Learning about Roman culture in 79AD.Viewing Mount Vesuvius, which is huge and very close to modern day Pompei, Italy 🌋😮It was so wild to learn in detail how this ancient city was wiped out by the volcanic eruption. Definitely an amazing educational experience!!➡️ Homeschoolers, would your family enjoy visiting such a rich historic site, such as Pompeii? 😀 🌟 Inspiring families to live creatively and make memories, through adventures 🌎🩵➡️ follow along! @createplaytravel#createplaytravel #homeschoolfamily #travelwithkids #adventurefamily #worldschooling #kidswhotravel

Safety is a top priority when traveling with kids!

Safety is a top priority when traveling with kids! 🌎🌟 We’ve learned a lot through our experiences. For example, when arranging a ride to the airport in Cancun, we followed these guidelines ⬇️1. We hired a driver through a company that had good reviews. This gave us peace of mind when traveling 4 hours across Mexico ☀️2. We told friends/family about our travel plans including when we left Merida and when we arrived in Cancun. This gave us some accountability 😃3. Finally, we trusted our instincts. We are continually growing in our travel knowledge and intuition. We often know when an arrangement needs to be changed. Often, we meet very friendly and interesting people!➡️ Would you take your kids on an adventure in Mexico? We had a very positive and memorable experience!! 🌴🌟 Inspiring families to live creatively and make memories, through adventures 🌎🩵➡️ follow along! @createplaytravel#createplaytravel #homeschoolfamily #travelwithkids #adventurefamily #worldschooling #kidswhotravel
