Hey everyone. This is Durenda Wilson. Welcome to my podcast. If you don't know me already,

I'm married to Daryl. We have eight kids ages 12 to 26. We have four grandkids and we've been homeschooling over 20 years. We have

graduated five so far and we have three left at home. Well, this is my third episode of my

podcast. I'm excited to be here. I would love it if you guys would leave a review or rating at iTunes or SoundCloud wherever you're listening from.

If you're listening from my blog, you would be listening from SoundCloud.

I guess what happens when you do that is it moves a podcast up and lets more moms see it who might be searching for

something to listen to and something to encourage them. So if you would leave those rates and reviews

there, I would love that. And I am taking the names of the people who do that and putting them

in a hat and doing a giveaway every week of my book, The Unhurried Homestchooler.

It is a simple, mercifully short book on homeschooling.

So this week's winner happens to be Crystal.

So Crystal, if you're listening, would you please email me at Durinda at Durandawilson.com

and send me your address and I will mail you a free copy of my book.

Last week, Sarah won and she got a hold of me and Sarah, I'm going to get your book out in the mail this week.

It's on its way.

So I wanted to talk to you a little bit about, first I want to just share a little bit about

what happened this week in my life.

You know, I've been sharing that we moved across the country three months ago and that is

no small task transplanting a family from one side of the country to the other.

We thought we were only going to take the three kids that are still living at home,

but our 18 and 20 year olds decided to come along as well.

So they lived just around the corner from us.
