| Pamela's Mission Statement |
| My personal mission has been for years to encourage homeschool parents, especially moms and lighten the load of pressure they so often feel. As the homeschool population is growing so is the peer pressure - for moms! I especially want to debunk the myth of the "perfect homeschooler" and encourage each homeschooler to follow God's plan for their family and their homeschool, and to have fun doing it! |
