Summary

Homeschooling can feel daunting at first, but as a homeschooling mom to 8 kids (7 graduated so far), I want to bring you some simple encouragement that will help you keep a clear head and heart so you can actually ENJOY these years with your kids!   It's imperative that we know our WHYS for homeschooling. It's the only way we can prioritize and then hone in on how we want to approach this journey. You really don't have to spend 8 hours a day schooling your kids because homeschooling is both effective and efficient!   In this podcast, I will share a bit of our family's experience along with our whys and then give you action steps to take so you can homeschool for the reasons that are relevant to your family life!   The Unhurried Homeschooler (Amazon aff link) Grace for a Mom's Heart Devotional (Amazon aff link) The Unhurried Homeschooler Mentoring Course
