As homeschool parents, we have so much to be thankful for! That’s why I’ve put together an inspiring collection of thanksgiving messages from 10 other homeschool moms. We’re moms from different countries with different ages and grades in our homeschools and varying approaches to our homeschool routines. But each of us agrees that we are SO thankful to be homeschooling, and in today’s special Homeschool Conversations episode we’re each going to tell you a few of the things we love. I hope it is an encouragement to you this week, and is even an episode you can return to again when you need a little pick-me-up on a hard homeschool day. 

I’d love to hear what YOU are thankful for about homeschooling! If you’re watching the video, leave a comment. If you’re listening in your podcast app, I’d love to hear from you. Email me at [email protected] or send me a DM on Instagram @humilityanddoxology.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family…and happy homeschooling!
