Mom, Teacher & Spouse

This week I interview Jennifer Hamrick- military spouse to an Army Chaplain, homeschool mom, and blogger.  She may not say it herself, she is far too humble, but she is a mentor to so many on so many things motherhood.  I have sough her wisdom on many occasions and watched as she patiently disciplined her 4 boys all while homeschooling them all.  With a Masters in Early Childhood Education, she has been on both sides of the issue and can speak to all of us regardless of where our children get their education. In this candid talk, we discuss her journey in deciding to homeschool as well as how she has navigated balancing taking care of herself and marriage. She and I discuss the stigmas for both sides, including the assumption that homeschool students struggle with social skills as well as perceived judgement on both sides.  You will also find TONS of resources from Jennifer as she shares her best tried and true websites, curriculum, and books that have helped guide her and keep her successful as a mom and teacher.   More than anything, allow her words to encourage you as we can all learn from each other and find ways to speak life into each others’ situation.
