I Had to Try

I never thought I'd homeschool my kids. Then one day, I couldn't ignore the feeling that I had to try.

I Had to Try is an honest, funny and very unpolished look at what happens when a mum who never imagined herself teaching her own children suddenly becomes responsible for their education.

It's about the fear of getting it wrong, the pressure to do enough, the days that go beautifully and the days that absolutely do not. It's about learning your kids in a completely different way, questioning what education is supposed to look like, and trying not to get so caught up in doing it properly that you forget why you chose this life in the first place.

This isn't a homeschooling how-to guide, and I'm not going to pretend I have all the answers.

It's simply the story of why I had to try.
