Welcome to Seasons of Devotion!
Thanks for visiting!
Hi, I’m Debbie. I believe every family can homeschool kids successfully, grow at least some of their own food, and stay calm! Let me show you how.
I’m a veteran homeschooler of 23 years, and an avid organic vegetable gardener for 28 years and…..
Addicted to catching the gleam in a child’s eye when they suddenly “get it”.
With seven children to teach, I integrated as many subjects as possible while keeping several different aged kids interested and learning.
My garden is my “secret garden” where I discover so much about God’s world. Naturally, I learned how to preserve the produce and developed a lot of tips and shortcuts from seed to table.
I can’t wait to share what I learned with you!
Join me at MeWe. Our group is a very active group where we talk about subjects pertaining to the homeschool lifestyle.
E-book: The Truth Told, 10 Years Later
They were the first ones to home school.
The moms were true pioneers. They were all afraid of things like, “What if I don’t teach them everything they need to know?” and “What if my kid doesn’t score well on the tests?” They wondered how it would affect the kids once they were grown.
The kids are all now young adults who agreed to share with you how homeschool has affected their lives now. They all graduated at least ten years ago.
They tell us what went right and what went wrong and the reflections and views of homeschool are eye-opening.
