I’m a 39-year-old full-time mom of four kids. I’ll start homeschooling the oldest this fall, although he’s been “attending” the school of life alongside me since birth. He’s learned measuring and baking, what it takes to run a household, grocery shopping and budgeting, how to care for infants, respect for his siblings and himself, and other real-world skills just by being with me all day, every day.
