Dual enrollment - taking classes for both high school credit and homeschool credit - a great tool while homeschooling. In this episode, we will talk all about the logistics to make it happen, and why we should even consider this option.

Simple is the New Smart Membership is designed for individualized help

Anytime that we are blessed with abundance, the abundance itself can be perverted into an obligation and a burden instead of a blessing. This is true even with the abundance of Scripture and tradition in the Catholic (and Christian faith). Sometimes, we don't know where to start, and which traditions to observe. My best advice: Just start. Start somewhere, and then do some more. Today, I'm starting with the most basic ideas for infusing more faith into every day of homeschooling. Where will you start? What will you add?
