Today's episode is an interview with Beth Swiger from Washington D.C. She has been homeschooling for 11 years with 4 children. Her husband had ADD and dyslexia growing up in a traditional school setting which didn't work as well for him, so they chose to homeschool. They originally thought they had to follow a normal school schedule, but soon found out they could travel and do school at the same time. This took their family to Costa Rica, Hawaii, Florida, and now D.C. On their facebook page "Shape your Family", you can download their FREE 30 Day Family Peace Journal.
