Homeschooling fun!
It's been very exciting discussing home education with so many different people. I hope everyone catches my interview on Deb Fillman's The Reason We Learn Podcast, because that really laid it all out (and is available on YouTube now). But if not, I'm going to be on Steve Hilton's show and doing a interview with Moms for America soon.
I've been at this for over 10 years now and my kids are excelling way ahead of their peers. When I first started homeschooling it wasn't a political move, or some chosen method; the school district in our area lost accreditation and it was the only option for my children to receive the best education possible.
Both my husband and I work. We do tag-team teaching and place lessons around our schedules. Having that flexibility is something many parents can't even fathom, but it's a wonderful method to help kids understand that learning doesn't start and stop in a classroom, it's a lifestyle.
That's what Homeschooling on a Budget is all about!

Updateys
It is the day before the Moonbeam Children's Book Awards are announced, and as usual I'm hopeful, but also grateful to have just gotten this far. The response to my 2nd children's book, "The Golden Rule," is accolade enough.
Having a vast majority of people from all faiths and cultures praise my work is more than humbling. It still astounds me that a book of this caliber hasn't already been published. Promoting the similarities between beliefs instead of arguing about our differences is how I was raised and how I am raising my children.
So no matter what happens tomorrow, thank you all for your love and support. Keep spreading kindness and connecting with others!

I love interviewy time
The whole reason I write and get my stories published is because I love sharing the human connection. One of my favorite parts of being an author is doing interviews and responding to readers' messages. Today the talented author Lincoln Farrish (who wrote the Junior Inquisitor Series) so humbly interviewed me.
