Am I Enough?
Friday, 01 September 2017

Navigating the Bookend Years of Homeschooling

“If we dare to be different and persevere in our homeschooling, we can provide our children with rich educational experiences and hope for the future.” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. My friend, who was into the seventh month of her pregnancy, had camped out all night. Why? To make sure her child
