Hey, moms, welcome to this episode of the Duranda Wilson podcast.

I'm Dorenda, wife to one, mom to eight, Nana to 11, and 30-year veteran homeschooling mom.

I'm also the author of three books.

Actually, let me take that back, four books now.

The Unhurried homeschooler, Unhurried Grace for a Mom's Heart,

But did you know that it's possible to reduce your likelihood of being reported just by

educating yourself about your state's laws? In addition to offering legal defense for Christian homeschool

families, our sponsor Heritage Defense has a law and policy vault, which is free to the

public. You don't even have to be a member. The vault has summaries of laws in all 50 states
