QUOTABLES
Lynna: "My mantra is a good homeschool schedule has a shelf life of about three months and it decreases proportionate to the age of your youngest child. So the younger the little ones are the faster schedule will expire and need to be redone because somebody that was napping isn't napping anymore. And somebody that was wearing diapers is now potty training and that's like a fourth subject that you're teaching."
Lynna: "...all the problems that you run into in homeschooling are 5% academic and 95% parenting on steroids."
