Do you recognize their names? Probably not; most aren't really famous--they are moms, busy homeschooling just like you! Of course, some readers may very well relate to "The Crazy Mom" as she shares:
 
"I'm always being pulled in a million different directions, the house is always a mess, and my kids have to be told what to do over and over."
 
Sound familiar? Can you relate to Crazy Mom? Enjoy her encouragement sprinkled with comedy as she shares from her heart and home while you laugh and learn! By the end of her story, you will understand the moral:
 
" . . . love God, love your family, keep on doing what you're doing (but try to do better,) pray hard, work hard, have some fun, and don't quit. I have been sowing for many years and am just now seeing a glimpse of the harvest. Imagine that--some sane advice from Crazy Mom!

 
 
Margaret Delle, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, described the book beautifully when she said:
 
"The How I Homeschool E-Book consists of honest accounts by normal homeschooling families about how their days go and how they accomplish homeschooling. Some households are hectic and crazy (by their own admission), others more structured, and a lot in between. And much to my surprise, there seem to be a lot of homeschooling moms that don't have everyone breakfasted and dressed by 7:30 a.m. That was reassuring to me. Everybody from unschoolers to highly scheduled homeschooling families will enjoy peeking into the lives of other families to see how they do things, what they struggle with, how they schedule their days, how they get over the hurdles they encounter. It's a fairly quick read, but a gem all the same."

Have you become frustrated teaching writing to your son or daughter? Get a glimpse of how Meredith implemented an incredibly creative, yet simple, writing assignment program with her son:
 
"I didn't think that J was where he needed to be with his writing, so we're not doing a formal writing, language arts, or reading program. Instead, for every book he reads, he has to write a paper at least one page in length. That's about a paper every two weeks. We work on capital letters, punctuation, sentence structure, how to put a good report together, paragraph construction, etc. I'm also able to add spelling to this format because every word he spells wrong is added to a spelling list for the week. He studies those words during the week, and then he has a test at the end of the week. I think this has done a world of good for him!
 

That's the beauty of homeschooling. If it doesn't work, find something that does! Change it up and move on, and don't sweat the small stuff (because in the end, it's all small stuff). Enjoy your children and your time together, and learn something new with them!"
 



There's so much to discover! Homeschooling moms share how they:

• Accomplish homeschooling while in the midst of canning season.
• Use Sonlight, Spears' Art Studio, Math-U-See, Aleks, A Beka, and more.
• Implement Bible study, both personally and as a family.
• Define "productive free time" and what it includes.
• Maintain their homes and keep up with cleaning tasks.
• Plan for meals and save time by quick cooking or easy re-heating.
• Assign memorization of Scripture and learn the Bible together.
• Handle babies and graduating seniors at the same time.
• Make it to the couch for a moment of catching up with their husbands.
• And so much more!

Gain some encouragement from a mom starting her day on her knees in prayer, a family enjoying relaxed unit studies, some who love Charlotte Mason, others enjoying Classical Conversations, still others incredibly eclectic, and all finding what works best for their homeschool.

 
This book is written by homeschool moms so much like you--so what do other moms like you have to say about it?

"You'll read here how each family has struggled and persevered in their homeschool and how they are blessed by their decision. How I Homeschool is a good E-Book to acquire in your digital library. The majority of homeschool books that I have read so far focus on the whys and methodologies of homeschooling. How I Homeschool gives you a picture, or a "day in the life," of these homeschooling families."

"Everybody who homeschools has their own style, and yet it all comes out okay. This is the message I got from The Old Schoolhouse's newest E-Book titled How I Homeschool. That's a pretty encouraging book if you are looking for some affirmation on your homeschool journey (and aren't we all?)."
 
"This E-Book is full of inspiration for the new homeschooler as well as the seasoned homeschool family. I love how each family shares their own unique way of homeschooling as they mold their schedules to meet the needs of their families.
 
I was encouraged when reading about how they homeschooled. I felt like I wasn't alone in my ways of teaching my children and curriculum choices I've made for them over the years. I gleaned new ways of teaching the basic skills to my children that are fun and hands-on.
 
I was reassured that homeschooling involves a lot of flexibility that I always seem to forget, and get frustrated easily with the same question: "Am I doing enough?" While reading these stories, I was remembering how homeschooling styles can change from year to year and not to sweat the small stuff."
 
 
Spend some time getting to know other homeschooling families, feel encouraged as you read of their struggles and triumphs, and learn from their open hearts and homes as they share the day-to-day experiences that are their homeschools.

Providing encouragement, real help for the day-to-day tasks, and excitement for your homeschool tomorrow, learn from homeschoolers striving for the best education for their children--one that will build their faith as it builds them intellectually.
