EPISODE 169 |  The homeschooling journey involves not only academic endeavors but also the cultivation of life skills and parenting strategies. Navigating through the intricate terrain of homeschooling, parents often encounter challenges that become invaluable lessons in the realm of both education and life. The homeschooling journey is a dynamic process that requires adaptability, patience, and a willingness to reassess approaches and expectations. Homeschool conventions provide a platform for sharing experiences, addressing challenges, and learning from the collective wisdom of the homeschooling community. Ultimately, the homeschooling journey becomes a profound exploration of not just academics, but also the continuous evolution of effective parenting strategies, life skills, and the realization that challenges are stepping stones to growth and success. Join Janna with her guest Vicki Miller as they discuss homeschooling, conventions, family, and more.

ABOUT OUR GUEST |  Vicki Miller is the wife to one and the mom to 5, with four living children.  She has homeschooled all of her children from beginning to end...In May, her homeschool journey will end.  Transitioning out of homeschooling brings mixed emotions, but it's also a new chapter filled with opportunities for growth and new experiences and she is here for it ALL! While it seems like a flash, it was, in fact, a flash.  Learning and exploring alongside her children was her greatest gift. She is like all the moms/wives out there who want the best home environment for their family and LOVE to prevail in all situations.
