This is a book for Christian homeschool moms written to inspire and encourage you on your journey.
Let me just start by saying that I don’t always enjoy inspirational books. I mean, honestly, sometimes, they just make me want to throw up. This is often invoked by the over-sentimentality present and sometimes a bit too much cheerfulness. Don’t get me wrong, I am a not a naysayer, but come on…sometimes life sucks and no amount of lemonade is going to make you feel any better!
Having confessed to the above aversions to Christian inspirational books it may mean more to you when I declare that I enjoyed every minute of reading this book. (Even when I read ‘paint by number’ as a suggestion for mobile schooling…really? An activity to do in the car or at the doctor’s office? This mom must be braver than me!)
Jamie Erickson gives rock solid advice. I enjoyed reading my own advice to young mom’s as I read over her section of tips for dealing with toddlers while you are homeschooling older kids. No, she didn’t steal the ideas from me, I don’t even know her…but good advice is more universal than our individualistic society would care to admit.
