Hey everyone. This is Dorenda Wilson. Welcome to this week's podcast. If you don't know me

already, I am married to Daryl. We have been married for 28 years. We have eight kids, ages 13 to 26, and five of those are boys. And that is really one of the

reasons that I decided to do a series of podcasts on boys, because they are clearly a very

different animal than girls, if you haven't already figured that out. So in the last two

podcasts, I've been talking about homeschooling specifically. Last week's episode was on homeschooling

junior high to high school, and the week before was on elementary school. So if you haven't listened to

those, you may want to go back and listen to some of the specifics on that.

Also, if you haven't connected with me on Facebook or Instagram, you can find me there.

Facebook is Dorinda Wilson, Instagram at Durinda Lee Wilson, and also at my blog, Durandawilson.com.

I have been hearing from moms who have been listening to the podcasts on boys, and it has been so encouraging

because, you know, sometimes you feel like God's laying something on your heart, and then you

kind of second-guess yourself. And what I'm finding is most moms are feeling a little

uncertain about raising boys and certainly about homeschooling them.

So hopefully you have found some nuggets of truth, some words of wisdom, some direction

that's going to bring a whole lot more peace as you raise your boys. I'm telling you,

they are the bomb. I love our boys. And, you know,

there were days I didn't love it so much, but I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world,

especially as I see them going into adulthood and just being the great men that they're becoming.

It just makes all the difficulties along the way and misunderstandings and figuring things out worth it.

So last week, like I said, I talked about homeschooling a junior high and high school,

and the week before was elementary school.

Do you guys remember, if you listened to that last week's podcast,
