Could we be more excited about this episode?! NO! We could not. We are thrilled to have Betsy Jenkins, creator of homeschooling_withtheclassics, join us to share why keeping a sense of humor while homeschooling is so important. She made us laugh, but she also brought tears to our eyes as she reminded us of how our hearts can hurt if we can’t laugh at ourselves and homeschooling. Join us for a fabulous episode!
