How To Work Or Run A Business And Homeschool Too

Hey, homeschoolers! I'm commonly asked how to homeschool and work or run a business too. That's our topic for this week. I invited industrial psychologist, Dr. Cheryl LeJewell Jackson to join me. I think you will really appreciate her excellent tips. More on that in a moment! Join our community First, I would love to have you join us in The Organized Homeschool Life group on Facebook. Each day we are sharing the organizing missions we're completing. I shared a before photo of my messy vanity in the group this morning, and guess what? I have yet to organize it. I will feel bad if I don't take a few minutes to get it done. We inspire one another to make organizing a daily habit rather than an event.  I'm looking forward to getting to know you there. Our sponsor Now I'd like to thank our sponsor, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, a Sony/Affirm Films movie. Tom Hanks portrays Mister Rogers in this timely story of kindness triumphing over cynicism. This is based on the true story of a real-life friendship between Fred Rogers and journalist Tom Junod, showing the power of forgiveness.
