Continuing Education and a Community Just for Homeschool Moms
Read the Books that Have Been On Your List
I get it. Your main job and the thing you love to do most is spend time with your children. While you'd love to go to a highly esteemed institution and earn degree after degree, you've got more important work on your plate. In fact: the things you are doing right now matter for eternity. You, dear mama, are shaping the future.
While you don't have time to write a thesis for a PhD, I'm guessing you might be able to squeeze in fifteen minutes, thirty minutes, or possibly even an hour a day to study.
Read When it Works for You
Maybe you have a solid hour when your children are napping, and you are willing to dedicate that hour to furthering your education.
Or, perhaps, you'll be slipping in a paragraph or two in between loads of laundry.
Whenever it works for you, just know this:
You don't have to go to college in order to be educated. You, dear mom, can read great books and enrich your life right where you're at.
These book clubs are online and you can participate from the comfort of your home!
We will be meeting via video calls online, on the platform Kajabi. If an alternative is needed, we will be using Zoom. The calls will be recorded, so if you miss a week, no problem!
