Hey friends, Ainsley-Arment here. I just wanted to jump on and tell you about a few exciting things happening this year.

We're getting ready to record a whole new season of podcasts that I'm really excited to share with you.

But we also have some big announcements that were excited to share with you in the coming weeks.

2019 was a big year for Wild and Free. We hosted our very first conference in Europe, and we gathered in an arena in Frisco, Texas, for our biggest event yet.

We also bought the Wild and Free Farm Village, a retreat center in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.

We've already been able to host several Mama retreats, and we have a whole calendar of events

scheduled for the year ahead.

But one of the most exciting things of all is that this past September, we were able to

release our very first book, The Call of the Wild and Free.

And thanks to your incredible support, this book is already spread across the world and encouraged

countless mamas on their homeschooling journeys.

If you've ever wanted to know more about the wild and free values, this movement,

or simply more about homeschooling and how to get started, this book is packed with stories,

examples, and principles to inspire, equip, and encourage you on your journey.

You can pick up a copy wherever books are sold or learn more at

bewild and free.org slash book. Thanks for such an amazing year, everyone. We are in this together

and hope you'll be a part of what we're doing in 2020. Okay, let's get back to the show.

Welcome to the Wild and Free podcast, episode 50. I'm Ainsley Arment, and this week,

our good friend Elsie Udicello shares about homeschooling in the waiting room. I am coming to a place where I'm just accepting that it's uncomfortable right now because my tendency is to have everything,

you know, my days like my morning time, play outside, do all this stuff.

Now all of a sudden we have therapy.

We've got to go to speech therapy.
