Educating for Life

Educating for Life

We’re four homeschooling moms who support homeschooling families through our events & other efforts.

Home education is a fast-growing global movement that more and more families are opting for to raise their children under their watchful eyes and secure their future. Educating for Life (EFL) was founded to support families who have courageously decided to take the road less taken in education.

Inviting our fellow homeschoolers to share their favorite homeschooling memories with us!💖

We loved reading your answers to our post about us being homeschoolers so “of course we (fill in the blanks)” — that’s why we’d like to know what your favorite homeschooling memories are (so far)!🤗 Let’s share in the comments, and please do tag your homeschooling friends so they can join in the conversation too! 😊

In case you need this reminder today.🙏🏻😊 Homeschooling is more about HOME and not school.♥️

“What is most important and valuable about the home as a base for children’s growth into the world is not that it is a better school than the schools, but that it isn’t a school at all.” - John Holt

Inviting you to join in the fun, fellow homeschoolers! 🤗

Jumping on the bandwagon a bit late but let’s do this! 😅 What makes us homeschoolers? We would love to see your answers!!! 🤗 Don’t forget to tag your homeschooling friends in the comments so they can join in the fun too!

On this International Women’s Day, we celebrate the gift of us women—specifically us homeschooling moms—who often “don’t know our true strength until we are in hot water.” 💦

Homeschooling can be a challenging journey, so many of us feel like giving up at times. 🙏🏻 Remember, though, that you are not alone and that all your efforts will bear fruit in the future—with God’s grace!🙌🏻

Tag a strong homeschooling mama in the comments and share some encouraging words with her! We will start! (It’s also our way of continuing the celebration of National Homeschool Day, which was on March 3.) ♥️

Journeying with you,
Mariel, Michelle, Sanne, and Tina

It may be a bit late, but we just want to greet you “Happy New Year” by sharing this reminder from Julie Bogart , whom we had the honor of working with during our 2020 and 2021 Connect Homeschooling and Intentional Parenting Summits.♥️ Julie was one of our speakers, and her wisdom still inspires and encourages us today!

We hope you have a wonderful week, month, and year ahead — full of love to fuel your homeschooling days!♥️

Rooting for you,

We’re so thankful for the privilege of serving the homeschooling community the past 10 years, so we're ending the current season of The Educating for Life Show with a special episode! 🎉

Join us today, Monday, Nov 20, 8:30pm as we interview Noriz Mora, a homeschool graduate who shared her homeschooling story at the You Can Homeschool event in 2013. Noriz’s mom Noemi will be joining her.

Noriz was only 13 years old at the time, and she had just published her first book. 📖 We are excited to hear how she’s doing now, 10 years later. 🙌🏻 We are also keen on learning from Noemi and their family’s homeschooling journey. 🤗
Set your alarms and see you tonight on our FB page, YouTube channel, and in the Homeschoolers of the Philippines FB group👍🏻

No fanfare, no big event, no grand celebration today — but just whispered prayers of thanksgiving for the privilege of serving the homeschooling community for the past 10 years.🙏🏻 Ever since the “You Can Homeschool!” event in 2013, God has given us — Mariel, Michelle, Sanne, and Tina — different opportunities to serve families as a group and as individuals too. 🫶 If you’ve been part of our journey somehow, THANK YOU! We are eternally grateful for your presence and support all these years!💗

We have been quiet for a while because of different reasons — mostly related to our need to prioritize family and health — but we will be back, promise! 🙏🏻

We hope that you will still be here when we do. 🤗 And if you and your family have also felt the need to prioritize what matters most, go ahead and do it. We are here supporting you 💯!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we will be putting off indefinitely our anniversary celebration event, “You Can Homeschool! 10th Anniversary Edition”. 🥺

We had been working hard on making this a memorable event for new and not-so-new homeschoolers—on top of our usual tasks as homeschooling moms and other “hats” that we wear 😅—but at this point in time, there are other more urgent and pressing matters to attend to.

We understand if some of you may be disappointed by this but we hope for your patience and kind understanding. 🙏🏻 If there’s one thing we love about the homeschooling community, it’s that we always do our best to support one another in our respective journeys. We pray that you will keep supporting us as well.🙏🏻

To those who have already registered and paid for the event, don’t fret — you should have received an email from us about this by now. If you haven’t yet or can’t seem to find the email, please do send us a message. 🙏🏻

For now, we will continue to serve the homeschooling community through “The Educating for Life Show,” which streams live every Monday 830PM on our FB page and YT channel and in the Homeschoolers of the Philippines FB group. 🤗 We are excited to continue connecting with you in this way!

As we mark our 10th year of helping parents start (or continue) their homeschooling journeys, we thank all those who have been a part of our journey as well — including our previous event partners, speakers, sponsors, media partners, supporters, partner bloggers and influencers, and YOU, our fellow homeschoolers! 💗

Thank you for being part of the last 10 years. Cheers to pivoting and new beginnings! 🥂 See you again, soon!
