Hey everybody, this is Heidi St. John. Welcome to the busy mom podcast. Today is Meet My Friend Friday.

Today is Friday, April 27th and my friend Aaron Odom, who is the author of a new book called You Can Stay Home With Your Kids,

is going to give you tips and tricks that are going to bless and encourage you stick around.

I think you're going to be encouraged.

Alright you guys, so I've got a jam packed show for you today.

Like I said, my friend Aaron is here and I'm really excited to talk to her.

Before I do that, I got a couple of housekeeping things that y'all need to know about.

The first thing is that I'm going to be speaking next weekend at Teach Them Diligently in Mobile, Alabama.

So if you haven't registered for that event, several of you have been asking me if I am coming and I know there was some question I am indeed going to be there.

So I will be Teach Them Diligently in Mobile. So come on out for that.

And then the weekend after that, I will be at the Refresh T in Boston.

So this schedule is on my website, HeidiSt. John.com. Just click on the schedule and you can see where I'll be.

I am speaking every weekend. So I might be coming to a city near you.

So I hope that you guys will check that out. Also, we have just begun a new quarter at the firmly planted homeschool resource center.

If you are anywhere in the Portland, Oregon, or Vancouver, Washington area, we want to encourage you to come on out and see what we've got planned for you.

For next fall, we have over 300 students registered there right now and we are offering everything from dance to science to history to literature to be keeping for goodness sake.

We have a beekeeping course happening right now and you can drop by the center Monday through Thursday, anytime from 10 to 2 to check it out.

So you can find us at firmly planted homeschool resource center dot org.

All right. Lots of good things going on. The main thing today, of course, is to meet my friend, which you guys have already met, but she's back on the show today.

Aaron Odom is awesome. You guys are going to love her. She's the author of more than just making it.

Hope for the heart of the financially frustrated and her brand new book that we're going to talk about today.

You can stay home with your kids 100 tips tricks and ways to make it work on a budget. Aaron is married to her husband will and a mom to some little red head girls and a sweet as well, little red headed boy.
