Spring has a way of filling up the calendar quickly. Field trip, sports, travel co-op, which are all good things, but they can make it challenging to keep curriculum learning consistent. March is really about maintaining momentum while life gets busy. That's why having a flexible, organized learning tool can make such a difference in the final stretch of the homeschool year. I-XL is designed to fit into your routine, not complicated. Ixel is an award-winning

online learning platform offering interactive practice in math language arts, science, and social

studies from pre-k through 12th grade. It adapts to each child's level, keeps them motivated,

and gives parents clear visibility into progress. What I especially appreciate this time of year

is how simple and time-saving it is. Everything is organized by grade and subject so you can jump

right into exactly what your child needs, whether that's reinforcing a concept before testing

or confidently moving ahead. The clear explanations and visible progress markers help kids stay

encouraged as they work toward year-end

Welcome to the 1000 Hours Outside podcast. My name is Ginny Arton, the founder of 1000 Hours Outside.

And we're going to be talking today about the concept of ruining your kids.

Abby Wedgworth is here. She wrote a book called Help! Help with an exclamation point.

I'm ruining my kids,

a gospel guide for the mom who is desperate for change. Abby talks about being frazzled.

I feel like the start of this has been a teeny bit frazzled. So it's very perfect for the book.

Abby, welcome. Oh, Jenny, you're like exposing me in the first five seconds.

When Jenny popped down the screen, I was like, okay, Jenny, count to five. I'm going to run to my pantry and get a protein bar before we start. You are quick. Man, it is just, thank you. I pride myself on my speed. I do. Yes. Okay. Tell us about your life. So you're already an author. you have this book coming out on march 17th we're going to try and get it up a couple days before

mart 17th because you can get the pre-order bonuses, which is a podcast series. So I'll put the link in the show notes. But this is not your first book. You got a lot of books. Some of them are very small, but there are a lot of them.

Yeah.

Yeah.
