Home Educating Family

Family Magazine meets you at the intersection of your life and faith. Committed to engaging today’s homeschooling family in thoughtful discussions of relevant topics, we bring you the best articles by the best authors about the most important issues facing families today. No cookie-cutter answers here—only practical, current homeschooling advice and resources.

Teaching your children at home in the 21st century is starkly different than it was over thirty years ago when the homeschooling movement began. Families now have more options, support, and resources than ever before! Our mission is to keep you informed, so that you have the very best home educating experience possible. Family Magazine is committed to addressing those topics that influence us most deeply, such as parenting, marriage, biblical manhood and womanhood, and the family’s important roles in the church and the government. At the same time, we give you immensely practical advice on implementing the newest and best ideas in homeschooling! Homeschoolers have the advantage of avoiding some of the worst elements of our world, but we also have the responsibility of changing our world. We provides you with you the encouragement, inspiration, and information to do just that!

Vibrant Homeschooling

Homeschooling is far from easy! In fact, many days it feels downright chaotic, and we moms find ourselves depleted and exhausted. We see other “perfect” homeschoolers and feel frustrated by our own shortcomings (“What is it we’re missing?” we ask). We need practical tips from time to time (“How in the world does she do that?” we wonder). And of course we wonder the biggest question of all: “Am I doing enoughfor my kids?” We know that a fuller, more joy-filled experience exists, but we ask, “How in the world do I get there?” At Vibrant Homeschooling, we know exactly how you feel. As a community of moms who are walking this homeschool journey right beside you, we understand the struggles and want to help you discover the fullest version of your homeschooling experience. With powerful online video courses (“bloom” and “rhythm”), e-books, printables, subscriber freebies (and fresh, inspiring weekly posts on the blog), Vibrant Homeschooling offers the customizable tools and resources that inspire you to that joy-filled homeschooling life.
