What should I do next — grade the math test or tackle the laundry? Homeschooling at the Speed of Life gives you, a busy homeschooling mother, a thoughtfully thorough resource for bringing order back to your home and homeschool. In tune with today's pace, the book provides basic home-management principles, teaching parents how to de-clutter their homes, develop life skills in their children, tame the paper monster, and keep organized records.
Also emphasized are ways to build relationships and use the home as a center for hospitality and outreach. The book even includes Rockett's easily adaptable File-a-Plan organizing system on a bonus CD-ROM. You will be keeping up with your good work in no time!
