Hey, moms, welcome to this episode of the Duranda Wilson podcast. I'm Durinda Wilson,

wife to Darrell for 32 years, mom to eight kids, Nana to seven and 26-year veteran homeschooling mom. I'm so glad you're

here with me today as we walk through the Christmas season together. I hope you're enjoying

these seasonal throwback episodes and that your heart is being encouraged toward a simple,

unhurried season. Remember, busy is your calendar. Hurry is your soul. And I'm praying

that your soul is unhurried as you enjoy this very special season with your family. If you

haven't checked out my three books, I would encourage you to do that. They could make a great

Christmas gift for yourself or for a

friend. The Unhurried homeschooler, a simple, mercifully short book on homeschooling. Unhurried grace for a

mom's heart, a devotional that I wrote specifically for homeschooling moms and the four-hour

school day, how you and your kids can thrive in the homeschool life. All of those books can be found on Amazon. They can also be found on

my website, Duranda Wilson.com, but you can also find the four-hour school day at any of your

favorite bookseller. So if you have a favorite bookseller that you prefer to buy from, I'm pretty

sure you're going to be able to find it there. Also, if you're new to the podcast and you don't know

about the search bar that I have on my podcast page on the website, Durinda Wilson.com, I encourage you to go

check that out. I have over 260 episodes and all you have to do is go to the little search bar

at the top of the list of episodes and put in a keyword and I'm pretty sure that something is going to the little search bar at the top of the list of episodes and put in a keyword,

and I'm pretty sure that something is going to come up.

So you'll be able to listen to the kind of encouragement that you really need right now.

So please go check that out.

Now, I don't know if all of you know that I write regularly for a magazine called

homeschooling Today.
