From Diapers to Discipleship: Why We Chose to Homeschool Our Youngest (and Wrote a Book About It!)
Hey mamas (and dads!) of dietcokeanddiapers.com,
If your life is anything like ours, it’s a beautiful, chaotic dance between caffeine boosts and tiny humans, sticky fingers and heartfelt prayers. We’re right there with you in the trenches of daily family life, trying our best to navigate this incredible journey of parenthood. And as our own family grew, particularly when it came to our youngest, the question of “how do we best raise this precious child?” started echoing louder than usual.

You see, for our older children, we explored various schooling options, learning so much along the way about their unique personalities and how they absorb the world. But when our youngest came along, we felt a distinct and powerful tug – a gentle whisper from God that this child’s educational journey, and indeed, our family’s rhythm, was meant to look a little different. We longed for more intentional moments, deeper spiritual integration, and the freedom to truly tailor learning to their unique, God-given wiring. It wasn’t about avoiding anything, but about embracing a calling that felt deeply personal and faith-filled. That’s when we truly began our dedicated Christian homeschooling adventure with our little one.
And boy, what an adventure it’s been! It’s a path filled with immense joys – those “aha!” moments, the deep conversations, the quiet connections around the kitchen table. But let’s be real, it’s also packed with its fair share of spilled milk, tricky math problems, and days where you wonder if you’re doing anything right. We spent countless hours searching for resources that truly understood this unique blend of faith, family, and flexible learning. We craved guidance that was both biblically grounded and genuinely relatable – something that felt like a warm chat over a lukewarm Diet Coke, rather than a dry textbook.
That’s exactly why we felt compelled to write “Christian Homeschooling: Nurturing Faith and Learning at Home.” We poured our hearts, our experiences, and our deepest learning into these pages, hoping to be the kind of resource we wished we’d had. We wanted to share the practical wisdom, the encouraging truths, and the real-life strategies that have helped our family (especially with our youngest!) thrive on this homeschooling journey.
