A few years ago I wrote a book on homeschooling. It is mostly a book on my family’s experience in my 24 years of homeschooling.  In this time that kids are home all the time and so are their parents, I hope this helps to remind you that there is good even in imperfect homeschooling.

Regardless of what our family has gone through, whether it has been sickness, accidents, disorders or financial crises, our family has come together to face it together. whether they are directly affected or not. Praying, comforting, feeding, supporting. Always there, always helping, always faithful. That, my friends, is something I would not exchange for any amount of money or position. Every time I think about it, I cry. I am so grateful to God for my family. Yes, my kids have argued and been mean to each other, they’ve been vindictive, they’ve teased relentlessly, and they’ve driven me up the wall. My kids have hurt my feelings with their words and with their actions, and I have hurt theirs. We are not perfect, but we are united.
