Hey, moms. Welcome to this episode of the Dorinda Wilson podcast. I'm Dorenda Wilson,

wife to one, mom to eight, nana to nine, and 26-year veteran homeschooling mom. I'm also the author of the

Unhurried Homestchooler, a simple, mercifully short book on homeschooling and the four-hour

school day, how you and your kids can thrive in the homeschool life. You can find those books on

Amazon.com at my website, Durinda Wilson.com. And you can find the four-hour school day at any of your favorite

booksellers in addition to the two places that I mentioned. Well, y'all know that I love homeschooling

Today magazine, and so I would just love to tell you a little bit more about it in case you

haven't heard of this great resource.

When it comes to homeschooling, isn't it discouraging to see so much on social media that

simply doesn't match your reality? Life is messy. Kids can be exhausting. School doesn't always go as planned. Sometimes we all

need some real encouragement, some real, truly practical help. That's one of the reasons I write

for homeschooling Today magazine. The entire team at homeschooling today wants you to know that messy,

exhausting, imperfect homeschooling

is an incredibly beautiful thing because it's real life as we take an unhurried, bold approach

to homeschooling our kids, an approach that says, I won't compare my homeschool to others.

I'll teach the kids God has given me in the way that he leads me to do it.

I want to encourage you to check out homeschooling Today magazine. It is an amazing resource

for the unhurried homeschooling mom.

So today we're going to be talking about when your homeschool teen isn't getting up on time

and getting ready for the day.

I got a question from a mom that I thought, you know what?

This would make a great podcast episode.
