Hello and welcome back to Kindled. I am your host, Haley Williams. I have a great episode for you today with Nikki Truesdell. She is a homeschool mom and now a book publisher, but she has so much knowledge and wisdom about homeschooling. She's someone who I've actually been learning from for

before. It's good to have you back. Today we have a little bit of a different topic that we're

this is something that I've been wanting to learn more about and you've kind of been helping me

behind the scenes. But before we hop in, why don't you introduce yourself to listeners and tell

them who you are and what you do? Sure. Well, I am a mother of five and now I'm a grandmother of two
