Wednesday Aug 18, 2021
Welcome to the Smiling Homeschooler Podcast! This week were are going back into the archives to re-play an episode from a few years ago, but we think this topic is still extremely important! One of the most common things we hear from moms is that they don't think they are smart enough to homeschool their children. So that is what this week's topic is about and hopefully, we will be putting that myth to rest.
