A nice and encouraging read, with each short chapter focussing on a different element of being a homeschooling mother.

I wanted to like this book and I did until about chapter 13. I wouldn’t call this a spiritual companion for homeschooling moms - most chapters talked about ideas for certain subjects or not letting tv/video games influence your kids. There were a few good spiritual things, but it just wasn’t holding my interest and I wasn’t getting much out of it. I also didn’t love the writing - the way the author wrote was just… I’m not sure, but I felt like they thought they knew it all. I’ll put it on my bookshelf incase I have s question about a topic or want to look up a certain book it mentioned or something. No rating because I didn’t finish all of it.
