0:00.0	Hey, moms, welcome to this episode of the Dorenda Wilson podcast. I'm Dorenda Wilson,
0:15.6	wife to one, mom to eight, nana to nine, and 26-year veteran homeschooling mom. I'm also the author of the
0:23.0	Unhurried Homestholy Short Book on Homchooling, Unhurried Grace for a Mom's Heart, which is a
0:29.3	devotional that I wrote specifically for homeschool moms, and the four-hour school day, how you
0:35.3	and your kids can thrive in the homeschool life. Now, if you've read
0:39.2	the Unhurried homeschooler and you really enjoyed it, the four-hour school day is basically like
0:45.4	an expanded version of the Unhurried Homestchoolers. So again, if you enjoyed that book, you will
0:51.2	definitely enjoy the four-hour school day. All three of those books can be found
0:56.1	at Amazon. They can also be found at my website, Durandawilson.com, and the four-hour school day
1:03.0	can be found at both of those places and at any of your favorite booksellers. So I encourage you to go check those books out. Also,
1:13.5	I have an online community where I am mentoring moms in taking a more simple, unhurried approach
1:20.3	to homeschooling. And I'd love for you to listen in to hear just a little bit more about that. Have you ever heard the phrase more isn't better? Sometimes it's
1:34.5	just more. The simply unhurried community is here to unburden you to help you find joy in
1:41.3	slowing down and simplifying your homeschooling so you can enjoy this journey
1:45.7	with your kids. A while back, I created the Unhurried homeschooler mentoring course. Throughout these
1:51.7	videos, I help moms understand what it looks like to take a more simple, unhurried approach to
1:57.8	homeschooling at all the different grade levels. This video course is free to all members of the simply unhurried community.
2:05.6	You can watch the videos at your own pace or jump into a group that's watching them together
2:11.6	and discussing them along the way.
2:13.6	In addition to the course, you'll find other topics like general homeschooling,
2:19.0	unhurried homeschooling at all age levels, and homeschooling, struggling learners,
2:24.4	as well as resources, practical tips, and conversation that will inspire and encourage you.
