I was sitting in a children’s ministry meeting at church, and one of the other moms on the ministry team was telling us about her homeschool week.

I distinctly remember telling her, “I could never homeschool. I don’t have enough patience!”

Well, God has quite a sense of humor. Over the next several weeks, he placed other homeschool moms in my path, and three different people asked if we were going to homeschool.

I said, “Okay, God. I get it. I’ll look into homeschooling.” Honestly, I didn’t know much about homeschooling.

I began asking questions. Lots of questions.

• What is homeschooling?
• When would I get a break from my children?
• What would I teach them?
• What if my daughter and I clashed?

And then, I suggested to my husband that we consider homeschooling. He had a lot of questions too! Honestly, he had more questions than I did!

• What about socialization?
• How will they participate in extracurricular activities like speech and debate, drama, choir, or sports?
• Will they get into college?

Next, I started researching. I read everything I could get my hands on.

Wondering what I found? Here are a collection of podcast episodes and blog posts in which I share the answers to the questions I asked when we were considering homeschooling and more that I wish I had asked.
