Stress seems inevitable, but it's possible to make preparations to ensure your holiday celebrations are a time of comfort and joy, rather than exhaustion and stress. Today, Holly and Melody share the wisdom they've learned about self-care during the holidays, what it means, and all the ways you can set yourself up for a successful and relaxing time.

By Norah Williams|2024-03-14T17:12:40-04:00November 11th, 2022|

Many parents begin their homeschooling journey not having met any homeschool graduates. It can create apprehension, not knowing how your children will react to a different learning lifestyle than what might be considered the norm. But today we hear from five homeschool graduates as they tell us everything they loved about being homeschooled, what the advantages and disadvantages were, and how their own thoughts about being homeschooled evolved over time.
