SONLIGHT GUEST BLOGGER - DECEMBER 2019

My time as a guest blogger with Sonlight came to an end in the spring, but I had one post that was held over for this Christmas season. It went live on Sonlight's blog at the start of the month, but I forgot to link it here until now. Better late than never, right?

There are only a few days left until Christmas, but hopefully that's enough time to put an idea or two from the post to use. If not, save some for next year!

SONLIGHT GUEST BLOGGER: JANUARY - FEBRUARY 2019

In January and February I shared on the Sonlight blog about various challenges homeschooling families may face. I addressed some practical issues - organizing all your books or helping a kid who struggles to read - as well as some matters of the heart - scriptures to encourage you in hard seasons and having gratitude for the opportunity to homeschool.

So Many Books: How to Organize Your Homeschool Library
2 Keys for Homeschooling a Delayed or Struggling Reader
Loving the Gift of Homeschooling No Matter How You Receive It
