Homeschooling When Life is Complicated - Mary Jo Tate, Part 2 (Meet the Cast!)

Homeschooling can be hard. It can be harder when life is complicated. And, it can be even harder for a single parent. Especially one who works to help provide for their family. In this episode, Yvette Hampton talks with Schoolhouse Rocked cast member, Mary Jo Tate, a veteran single homeschool mom of 4 and author of the book Flourish: Balance for Homeschool Moms. Mary Jo brings encouragement and advice from years of personal experience and seeing the mighty hand of God at work in her life.

Come back tomorrow for the rest of this conversation.
