Do you ever feel like life’s challenges threaten to overwhelm your routines and derail the homeschool life you’re trying so hard to build?
This past year brought some of the hardest trials I’ve ever faced—like my son’s brain surgery—and yet, God has used every moment to teach me about faith, family, and finding joy in what matters most. In this short episode, I’ll share:
