As we inch closer toward Thanksgiving and Christmas, life begins to ramp up a bit. A lot of times that means added stress to continue the usual homeschool schedule while adding in all the holiday festivities.
In today’s episode, Carole talks with Sonya Manson about what their family of ten has done over the years of homeschooling. Sonya shares how they to continue homeschooling during the holidays while also slowing down and focusing on what matters most to their family.
