I learned so much from this week’s Google+ Hangout on Air! The topic was Homeschooling Children of Multiple Ages and WOW the wisdom and experience from our panel was note-worthy.
Even though I moderated the Hangout, I’ve watched it twice since we recorded it just to make sure I didn’t miss any of the gems that were shared!
Homeschooling Children of Multiple Ages
It was such a privilege to join with these particular homeschooling mothers. I read their blogs faithfully and I’ve met several of them in person. They truly have a heart for their children and want to encourage other mothers. I’m so grateful for their time!
The panelists included:
- Tricia Hodges of Hodgepodge, Curriculum Choice, and Habits for a Happy Home
- Amy Roberts of Raising Arrows
- Judy Hoch of Contented at Home
- Connie Hughes of Smockity Frocks

Thank you so much for sharing this (again) with me.
I so agree with Amy that I don’t focus on my littles as much as I did when my older ones were little. I definitely need to be more intentional about being with my littles.
Thanks so much for this. This was really helpful and encouraging. xo
I’m so glad it was helpful for you, Christin! I’ve watched it several times just so I can soak up all of the wisdom (they’re great for passing the time while I iron 😉 )
Thank you for stopping by! xoxo
