As a working mom who is trying to homeschool, I appreciated all the information and support 🙂 I also wanted to say that I shared your show on a homeschooling and working parents group that I am also a part of. Again, loved the show!

This was a great episode! I work outside the home and homeschool as well but I don’t have time to keep up with FB so I missed that you were looking for people to talk to. 🙂 Thank you for the continued inspiration and support!

Thank you for this podcast. I am also a working HS mom. I’m a dentist, own my own practice and work 3 1/2 to 4 days a week. My hubby runs our small farm. So we work together to get it all done. My kids are 12,9,7, and 4. It is doable. It’s a lot of work but we love it. Thanks.
