Back to School - 20 Great Ideas for Making Homeschool Fun - Aby Rinella, Part 3

"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.
