Filling our cup or self-care doesn't have to be difficult or time-consuming. I used to think I needed a whole Spa Day or Girl's Night to consider it "Me Time".
Changing the way we look at self-care makes it so much less stressful. And honestly who has time to stress over the thing that is supposed to help us manage our stress??

Technically, I have been working from home for a year and a half now, but now I get paid and have benefits while never having to leave the house (or my pajama pants).
I have been doing this job for a little over a month now, and let me tell you, I am so glad I know this isn't permanent.

We discussed some of the secret sauce she uses to keep her kids active and engaged in her homeschooling, Some of the things that didn't work for her kids, and how important is know not only your own homeschool style, but also your kids learning style.
One of the big topics we touched on was about "unschooling" your kids after they have been in public school systems. I loved that she has helped her kids (17, 14, 12, and 9) get out of the check it off and get it done mode, and back to a love of learning all the time.
