A note from Katie
As homeschool moms, we spend a lot of time planning for the good days. But do you have a plan for the bad days? On a hard day, you probably won’t be in the mood to make a lot of decisions. Having a list ready means you don’t have to think about what to do next.
And mama, I know the days can be hard. I pray the verses in this guide encourage you and help you remember where your help comes from. What He has called you to, He will equip you for.
Be ready for the next hard day
