10 REASONS WHY WE LOVE HOME-EDUCATING
Your free PDF digital download is a printable 8.5" x 11" chart listing the ten most prominent reasons we love to educate our children at home!! We believe many other families also appreciate the wonderful benefits and joy we all experience with this kind of freedom. We realize every family will choose to educate their children differently, with unique goals and values, but we hope our chart inspires you to at least consider your options and give home-education a try!
A framed copy of 10 Reasons Why We Love Home-Educating makes a great "welcome" gift for any family new to home-education, a graduation gift, or to sell or give away at conventions and book fair booths.* You can also simply post it on your refrigerator for daily doses of encouragement when you feel like throwing in the towel. These times will likely come, but keep persevering and pray, pray, pray--your children are more than worth it!

Testimonials
Sandy is an encourager, a woman that speaks Godly wisdom into my life, and a great friend. She desires to know the heart of God and serve Him well. She leads a Titus 2 example as she pours into younger women and helps them on this journey of life. She’s a great listener, someone who’s prayed with me and shared stories of similar struggles. I happened upon her book, GROUNDED, when I felt the Lord speaking to my heart about fasting. It helped me to the next level of where God wanted me to go, a puzzle piece of sorts, at just the right time. I very much enjoy the “motherly advice” and the warm and personal way in which the book was written. I feel as though I’ve known her for a long time. She has much love, friendship, and Godly wisdom to offer to women of all ages.

ButtonGROUNDED is one of those uniquely special finds you just cannot keep to yourself. This adorable book is just like the author herself. Full of hidden treasures with each turn of the page that will inspire you to be still and draw close to the Lord. From the beautifully-designed cover, to the delightful recipes towards the end, this book is thoughtfully and wonderfully written. I highly recommend GROUNDED for anyone and everyone who wants to get back to the basics of living a beautifully simple life, and find rest in the joy of the Lord!

ButtonWhat a gorgeous book! The story MY DOG IS LIKE ME! HOW IS YOUR DOG LIKE YOU? is precious, beautifully illustrated, and I love all the “old fashioned toys”! Grandparents will be sure to appreciate it too.

ButtonMY DOG IS LIKE ME! HOW IS YOUR DOG LIKE YOU? by Sandra Smith is a cleverly written children’s book that portrays the love between a little girl and her dog. It’s just an adorable little book! The child who is fortunate enough to get to read it will improve their reading skills because of the fun repetitions and learning the meaning of perhaps new words such as “timid” and “contrite”. The way the author used these playful interactions between a child and their pet to reveal God’s love for them is also quite amazing. And the artwork by Cat Boysen is just phenomenal! I have bought several of these books for my friends’ grandchildren; they make a wonderful gift!
