This week we tackle some questions on pregnancy, post partum and the various times in our life when we’re on the low and trying to homeschool, too.   It’s a guarantee that we’re all going to have low periods in our life, whether through pregnancy, physical or mental illness, loss or sometimes for no apparent reason.  We look at ways we can cope in crisis times, and a bigger, overarching look at how we can set our lives up to prepare when faced with these times.

We also spend some time talking about some good family reading that might when we have to cut back so much that reading may be the only thing we can manage.  And even when we can’t manage that….
