Uplifting and restoring for homeschooling mothers

I have listened to every episode because Cindy Rollins is so warm and encouraging and soothing to listen to after a long day of homeschooling. She works so hard to affirm mothers and to provide them with wisdom to chew on. Her wisdom is huge after homeschooling 9 children according to the CM method but she is v humble and tentative about proclaiming her own opinions. I would v much recommend.

An Incredible Encouragement

So much wisdom distilled into manageable episodes. I love how gentle and practical the advice of Cindy, Dawn and their guests is for the day to day life of a home educating mother. I'm so thankful to these wonderful women for producing such helpful and edifying content.
