"I think ultimately what God wants is to refine us in this homeschooling process. It's not like we're the ones that have it together and we're teaching these children to get it together. It's that we're all people that need refined, and we're all people that need to depend on the Lord. And it's just something we're all working through together." - Aby Rinella
Yvette Hampton and Aby Rinella share their vision for a fun-filled homeschooling year. Aby discusses the benefits of literature-based learning, the challenges of balancing multiple cores, and how audiobooks have become an invaluable resource.

Join us as we embark on a journey of homeschooling success and personal growth!
