Dear Homeschool Mom ...

Dear Homeschool Mom,

We are writing to you today to let you know that you are not alone. Having feelings of being overwhelmed or feeling like you are inadequate for the task before you does not make you a failure. It simply means you need a break. It’s time to have a rest, regroup, focus, let go of some unrealistic expectations and continue on your journey. From our hearts to you, today we would like to share some encouragement and words of insight from new homeschool mom’s and veteran homeschool Moms.

Today we would like to invite you to make a cup of your favorite beverage, set the children up with something that will keep them happy and come along with us as we share with you our hearts and words of encouragement.
