Highlights from the Show:

• Jess shares about being a church planting family, as well as a small business owner in South Carolina.
• She made me laugh when we talked about her being about being an introvert (she’s a self-proclaimed “fake” extrovert)

• Jess talks about the unique accountability that she had for each chapter of her book. (I've never seen a book that has this.)

This webinar is ALL of my best homeschooling tips gathered from the six years of speaking at homeschool conventions all wrapped up into one webinar. This is a crazy-amazing resource for you or anyone you know who may be considering homeschooling for the first time ever.
