Over the years I have written articles for various LDS homeschool websites and blogs. At the time I felt weird writing advice on something I was new at and not very good at. And sometimes I felt a little hypocritical writing about something I wasn't even doing. (There's more time to write about homeschooling when one is not doing it!)
But, each one of these articles represents thoughts and ideas that were given me to help others. Ideas would come to me and drive me crazy until I wrote them down. So despite my own inadequacies I figured if God said, "write and share" I'd better write and share no matter my lack of credentials.
It has been a complete joy and blessing to do so because I've never felt more direct divine help and push than when helping mom's learn to teach their families. I've had just SO many beautiful experiences that help me know that God cares about moms and wants to help us teach His children.
Hopefully these past published articles can still provide someone with the insight, help, encouragement, how-to, and perhaps a little laugh while getting started with the adventure that is homeschooling. Enjoy!
