Sessions
Session #1: New to Homeschooling.
Description: In this session I give you everything you need to begin homeschooling … except the students. We’ll look at reasons for homeschooling, goals, learning styles, teaching styles, curriculum recommendations, and household management tips and strategies. I go into great depth in this video, giving you everything that I wish I’d known before I began homeschooling 20 years ago.

Session #2: Teaching Children A Biblical View of Money
Description: I share three steps that we took to raise our children to understand a Biblical view of money, develop a strong work ethic, practice sound money management, and become fiscally independent by age 18.
We’ll discuss effective ways to model, share, and teach about money. We’ll cover chores, allowances, and rites of passage. Finally, I tell you the ONE thing you can do that, I believe, will impact your children more than anything else you can possibly do or say!

Session #3: Homeschooling Through Crisis
Description: Life can take unexpected twists and turns, which challenge our ability to school effectively. What do you do when your homeschooling routine is thrown a little (or a lot) off kilter?
In this session,I give very specific steps and strategies for those who find themselves schooling through times of crisis.
Session #4: “Keeping Food on the Table (Without Spending a Lot of Time or Money)”
It can feel challenging to school and keep your family fed. In this session, you’ll learn tips and strategies for saving time and money in the kitchen. We will cover food strategies (which have actually worked for me), weekly menu planning, bulk cooking, getting your kids involved, and lowering your food bills.
