Where’s my keys? Find your book! Have you seen your little brother?!?!”
Home Educators Are you struggling with getting your ‘life’ in order? You aren’t alone! Being at home, tackling homeschooling, AND still being the wife/mother we need to be can be overwhelming. Many of us can feel like we are just one camera crew away from appearing on some ‘organization disaster’ show! Let’s face it, it's hard to find a way to teach through chaos, and it’s even harder to learn! You'll be given some of the best organizational tips I have gathered from over a hundred different homeschooling families covering areas regarding our kitchens, schooling, and running our homes. It IS possible to climb out of that chaos and into calmness... Well, almost! :)

Homeschool Burnout — What it Looks lLike and How to Avoid It

The key is knowing when those moments could be red flags waving themselves in our lives as warnings! We will be focusing on the major reasons for homeschool burnout, the damage it can bring to our homeschooling journeys, and the best ways to avoid it! If you are already there or want to make sure it doesn’t happen, this class is for you! Warning: Janelle shares very difficult times during the homeschooling years, including what a “screaming Mom-zilla” looks like. Attend with caution. :)

• Homeschooling mother of five chidren.
• Leader of the Lee's Summit Home Educators group

Janelle Gaskell, homeschooling mom of five, gives uplifting and, hopefully, humorous presentations on homeschooling and parenting
throughout the KC Metro area. She is the current leader of the Lee's Summit Home Educators group. Having two high school graduates,
her family continues on their homeschooling path with 11 yr. old twins and a 6 yr. old son. Her prayer is that you are informed, challenged, and have a deeper understanding of the importance of being REAL with yourself on your homeschool journey while glorifying God in the process.
