My good friend, Susan Whitehead, who is a homeschooling mother of 5 just like I am, created this little video about homeschooling that though  noting the difficulties, expresses appreciation for the blessings for homeschooling.

Homeschoolers have a secret. Our secret, which many people do not understand, is that homeschooling is more about family life than about school. Yes, the 3 R's are part of the homeschool equations, but when we start looking at the benefits that accompany a life where little children spend their days with their parent(s) and siblings, we see results that are priceless. As Susan states in her video:

-The joy of having children who are best friends.

-The pride of seeing a child master reading.

-The blessing of solid bonds with your children.

-The fun of learning together, reading aloud together, cooking together, cleaning together.....just time to be together as a family, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Check Susan's  Mrs.Homeschool.com blog to find out what "inspired" her to create this lovely video.

Susan balances being a mom to 5, a wife, a homeschool teacher, and a home business woman. She is really on the ball, but she has her struggles with getting everything done just like the rest of us.  Though I'm ahead of Susan  with the homeschooling, since only one of my five is still in high school, I have much to learn from Susan about business since she has successfully developed multiple streams of income to add to the family income.  She recently developed a website to help other homeschool moms learn how to earn income by setting up multiple revenue streams.

Her website is called MrsHomeschool.com and is all about the homeschool life coupled with learning how to work. She offers income earning  ideas suitable for children and parents, but especially for homeschool mothers.  Susan is particularly knowledgeable in using the internet as a tool for earning income and has had first hand experience that she can share with others.
