I was you two years ago.
My daughter was going into kindergarten and, while I was excited to begin our homeschool journey, I was also full of questions and what-ifs.

Even before my first child was born I had a vision of the kind of parent I wanted to be...
I wanted to be a stay-at-home mom. A domestic goddess. A homemaker. A homeschooler. I would quit my job and...
