Planning with medical issues in the family (including mom) or a pregnancy/new baby or a working mom? Those things might stop a person in her tracks or with some careful pre-planning we can keep you on course.
Jenn MacDonald has been there and done that and is entering her 22 year of homeschooling in the fall. She has graduated 4 of her 5 children who range in age from 27 to 15 and abilities from highly academic to overcoming struggles with Dyslexia and ADHD.
