Make this week's Coffee With Carrie Podcast a priority.  It will be the best 15 fifteen minutes of homeschooling advice you will receive.  Pour yourself a cup of coffee.  Leave your guilt, worries, and stress in the other room, and then turn on  "Home School Hindsight."  As Carrie prepares to graduate her last homeschooler, she shares advice she would have given her younger (and more energetic) self 20 years ago when she started this homeschooling journey.  What advice would Carrie give to her younger self about homeschooling?  Well, you will have to listen to find out.  Whether you are just starting out, in the middle of your homeschooling journey, or almost finished, you need to listen to this week's episode and share it  with your homeschooling friends.  Carrie will put your mind at ease and put things into perspective.

He is Risen!  He is Risen Indeed!  Next week is the most important and solemn week of the year.  We remember the redemptive work of our savior, Jesus, on the cross and our new life in Christ because of His death and resurrection.   This week, take a break from your usual activities and lessons.  In this week's episode, Carrie shares simple ways to celebrate Easter in a meaningful way.  She gives bible passages and stories to read each day during Holy Week to help children and teens understand the important events of each day.  In this week's podcast, Carrie also gives suggestions of super easy activities the family can do to remember each story, passage, and event such as make your own crosses out of handprints, toothpicks, and palm branches, prepare a special Good Friday luncheon, bake Resurrection Cookies, raise butterflies, and so much more.  Pour yourself a cup of coffee, relax, and take a little coffee break with Carrie.

If you couldn't attend our Special Weekend for Homeschooling Moms, you can still hear the talks presented on Saturday!  The event was not live streamed, but Carrie recorded the sessions at the request of the moms in attendance.    This week's episode is the first session on Saturday morning entitled, "Hannah's Hope:  Having Hope in a Hopeless World."  In this week's podcast, Carrie digs deep into 1 Samual Chapters 1 & 2 and shares how to apply the lessons learned to your life, parenting, and homeschooling.   We can learn from Hannah how to have hope: 

• in the midst of taunts, 
• in God's promises,
• in God's Word and His character, and 
• while living in "hopeless" situations.

Open your Bible, pour yourself a cup of coffee, and join Carrie for this extended study in God's Word.

If you homeschool and you have a serious and competitive athlete, then you don't want to miss this week's Coffee With Carrie Podcast.  After announcing that her son committed to play baseball at the collegiate level, Carrie received tons of emails and messages from relieved moms, dads, and high school homeschoolers!  Sadly, many talented homeschool athletes give up homeschooling during the high school years thinking public or private school is the only door to collegiate sports and scholarships.  This simply isn't true!  Homeschool athletes are scouted and recruited at the college level every year, even during this crazy Covid year!   So if you have a child or a teen who excels in a particular sport and you think he or she may want to pursue this in high school, in college and maybe even as a future career, get your pen and paper ready, pour yourself a cup of coffee and hang out with Carrie for this sports-related coffee break!
