When my children were still toddlers and preschoolers, I began to consider homeschooling as an option. I watched and studied homeschoolers and their lifestyles, hoping to get some insight. I witnessed many successful families that I respected and admired. There were other families that did not exactly inspire me. The families who had beautiful results, all seemed to have similar habits. These are the top 10 habits from super successful homeschoolers that I have observed, in no particular order.

I grew up in a family rich in traditions, and although they are important to me, I want to create our own as a new family. Candlefest Christmas was a big deal in my childhood home. My Mom had a gift for making holidays special. On Christmas Eve, we would all work together to create a big feast to celebrate Christmas Eve. Once we had eaten, and my Dad had gathered us all around to read us the Christmas story from the...
