The Ultimate List Of Homeschool Facebook Groups

Homeschooling can get lonely. Even if you are involved in a homeschool co-op or have several homeschooling friends in your area, there are days when you feel quite alone. When other moms are meeting up for coffee during the day, you are teaching math or doing a read aloud.

Homeschooling can get overwhelming. You feel frozen with what to do and when. Questions of "Am I doing enough?" or "Am I forcing too much into our schedule?" creep in and become paralyzing.

Homeschooling can be scary. As a homeschooler, you have taken on a huge responsibility. You have your kids' education in your hands.

Homeschooling can feel like no one in your real life understands. When other moms are talking about school-related issues like packing lunches and dealing with bullying issues, you are standing alone and trying to figure out how to help your little one read or memorize math facts.

Please don't misunderstand! I have stated time and time again that homeschooling is one of the biggest blessings in my life. I love being at home with my boys and having the opportunity to watch them learn and grow.

It's just not all sunshine and roses-especially when I have felt like I have no one who gets it.

Last year, I was feeling extremely lonely and depressed about our homeschool. Don't get me wrong-I love homeschooling my 5 boys! I felt that what was missing was an opportunity for me to connect and relate to other homeschoolers.

I had been on an extended social media break which was necessary. I don't do drama and have no desire to read about other peoples' political views or what their morning bathroom experience was like. With 5 boys, I have enough action and drama to keep me entertained!

When I started Busy Boys Brigade, I did a lot of research. One of the recommended actions to building your blog was to create a social media presence. Ugh! I resisted Facebook as long as I could. It was my #1 pet peeve.

I decided to create a separate Facebook account for my blog. I figured this way would be a good way to start over. (I share this approach in case you are hesitant of having a Facebook account. You can create a separate account for just homeschool or related interactions.)

As time went by and I met other homeschoolers, I had a realization.  Facebook can actually be a good thing!  There are a lot of homeschoolers on Facebook, all looking to connect. (You might be like, "Duh, Amy!" What I am trying to say is that you can use Facebook-and other social media-in a controlled way for specific reasons.)

I still hold on to a bit of my initial skepticism about Facebook. I am cautious about who I follow or who follows me. Also, I like to have information (and at least one friend) about a group.

I thought it would be helpful to create The Ultimate List Of Homeschool Facebook Groups. I will share the groups that I know to be helpful, supportive, and active. I think it is helpful to know what homeschool Facebook groups are encouraging, uplifting, active and enjoyable.

I would love to add your favorite homeschool Facebook groups! Please share in the comments below for me to add to our list.

Homeschool Facebook groups will be arranged in alphabetical order. I was going to categorize groups but I am aware that many homeschoolers (and their groups) are eclectic. For example, placing a group with the title of Classical Charlotte Mason would leave me sitting up into the wee hours of the morning to determine appropriate placement.

The homeschool Facebook groups will also provide a brief description. When you share your favorite groups, I would greatly appreciate a description (names of group owners would be awesome, too!).

I hope The Ultimate List of Homeschool Facebook Groups helps you grow and flourish as a homeschooler!

**I would love to highlight my favorite homeschool Facebook group of all-Rock Your Homeschool!  Our group of homeschoolers are super encouraging, friendly, and fun. Come on over & check it out!
