Now that life has shifted and we are all schooling at home, let’s spend some time chatting about what we’re supposed to do and how we should begin. If you’ve never homeschooled and this is brand new overwhelming territory, never fear!! Thank goodness for Jamie Erickson and September McCarthy, two seasoned and experienced homeschooling moms who, between them, have homeschooled 15 children from preschool through high school.
In today’s episode, Jamie and September will give you practical insights and techniques to help you even out the peaks and valleys of your days at home with your children. These next weeks at home with your children can be a gift, an opportunity to learn things about your children that you might never have known had God not pressed pause on life as we know it.
