When it was possible, I took Fridays off. I've got high school students now, and still try to squeeze these in at least one a month in the winter.
Popping onto the board has been a blessing to me more times than I can count. The support, btdt, sympathy and general feeling of not being the only person on the planet homeschooling is truly a blessing.

When I had little ones running around, everything felt harder.
