I thought this was encouraging for all of us…
I really appreciate that each interview includes the question “What would you have done differently?”. I think the recurring theme is “relax”. Last year, just starting out with a 5 year old and a 2 year old, I quickly had to keep school fairly relaxed in order for all of us to stay sane. But sometimes I’ve worried that I’m not doing enough. It’s nice to get the encouragement that it will be O.K. from those who have many years of experience and perspective.
My response was:
“We didn’t plan the theme of RELAX, but I guess that’s what is on everyone’s heart.”
Personally, I think we live in a society that is too busy & too stressed!
The idea of RELAXING is so appropriate for all of us. I’ve had lots of listeners mention that relaxing is what is most encouraging. I know that’s God talking to all of us!
AND…I’ll be talking about relaxing & choosing your homeschool activities tomorrow.
If you’ve missed any of these interviews that encourage all of us, grab the recordings right here.

This afternoon, you can hear Tricia Hodges, of Southern Hodge Podge. You’ve already heard of Tricia because she had several giveaways on our blog yesterday. You can still enter to win, as well as grab your instant downloads here. Tricia has some great resources to help moms who aren’t artistic. She’ll be sharing how to teach art in your homeschool…even if you can’t draw a stick figure.
Kim Kautzer, of Write Shop, will tackle another subject that “seems” difficult. . . Teaching Writing. She’ll encourage you to help your reluctant writers and give some easy tips to keep you focused on improving your children’s writing. Don’t miss her tonight.
Kim is also providing a freebie to everyone today. She is giving away a copy of Story Builders: World of Animals. It sells for $7.95 regularly, but you can get a copy for free here.
