Can I Do it All?

Is it possible to be a full-time “payroll” mom and homeschool at the same time? It certainly doesn’t fit my picture of the ideal homeschool scenario. Yet sometimes (most of the time?)

When I first decided to homeschool, my oldest was about 3. As with all things that I make a decision on, I embarked with great zeal…..and had 5 billion questions and concerns.
