Families homeschool for different reasons, in unique situations, using a variety of methods.

My job is to pay attention to my children's genius and allow those leanings to lead them to their future.

I'm hosting weekend retreats all over America. It is like a 24-hour slumber party for moms. We laugh, eat, play games, get massages, win prizes, talk about parenting and even cry a bit.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

For my diet, I choose mostly organic. But in general, I am a big believer in trying to strike a balance with everything.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.
