If you've had concerns about whether you are doing enough to educate your child and whether you've covered all the bases - you are not alone. That sentiment seems to echo in the hearts of so many mothers who have either chosen or been forced by circumstance to homeschool their children during this season of life.
One of the best things you can do when facing the giant of fear and uncertainty is to find someone who has faced the same foe and can still chuckle about it while patting your hand and giving you sage advice learned from the trenches. Enter Sally Clarkson. On some of my most difficult days of battle, I'll sometimes pull up a post or listen to a podcast as she cheerfully discusses tea, memories, theology and the ministry of motherhood which gently reminds me "this is where the rubber meets the road". Somehow in those transformative 20-30 minutes, I will often go from a battle worn mama to charging back into the fray with renewed vigor and determination.
I highly recommend her books (no, I am not being compensated to say that), AND she has a new one coming out in just a few days about education. You can register here for an online series of video visits this month (related to the book), FREE for a short while. I believe they will eventually be moved to the paid membership page, so now is the time to listen in! It is my hope that many of you who feel like you are drowning in doubt right now will pick up one of her books and be encouraged as you face the new challenges ahead. May you have a restful and sweet year of homeschooling!
