On an almost daily basis, I turn down opportunities to recommend, sell, or review products on my blogs. So when I do choose to promote something, you know I believe it to be mutually beneficial to both you as a reader as well as me as a writer.

That’s the case today with the wellness digital bundle sale–until Monday this sale is available, allowing you to get 21 wellness ebooks for just $21 – (over 90% off!)

But as I mentioned the other day on Steady Mom, there are both good and bad ways to make use of an ebook bundle. Used the best way, they can save you a lot of money, avoid overwhelm, and bring some terrific resources your way.

This ebook bundle centers around health and wellness. It’s perfect for those trying to:

  • Lose weight
  • Quit sugar
  • Plan and cook healthy meals
  • Remove chemicals from your life
  • Implement a fitness program you can actually stick to
  • Improve oral health
  • Make your own beauty products
  • Get your kids on board with healthful eating
  • Save money on a real food diet
  • Create a sustainable and healthy lifestyle for your family

Last week we started a blog series about personalities and how they affect us as homeschoolers. In the first post I wrote about the blessings and challenges of homeschooling as an introverted parent.

Today it’s the extroverted mama’s turn. Just one problem though–since I find myself quite firmly parked in the introverts’ camp, I can’t speak from personal experience on this one.

So last week I asked this on my Facebook page:

You shared your opinions in abundance (Thanks!). Here–in your own words–let’s take a look at the pros and cons of homeschooling as extroverted parents:

“I could never do that” seems to be one of the most common responses when it comes up in conversation that I homeschool my children. What does that actually mean?

I think when people say “I could never do that” they sometimes mean they don’t have the personality that fits a homeschooling lifestyle. So consider today’s post the start of a new series on this blog: personalities in the homeschool.

personalities at home

I’m not sure there is such a thing as an ideal homeschool personality. We all have our tendencies and our quirks–as any personality test will point out. (I’m an INFJ if you’re curious!)

Certainly knowing ourselves better helps us steer our homeschooling style to capitalize on our strengths and minimize our weaknesses. Since I’m most familiar with the introverted parent’s perspective–let’s start today with some thoughts about homeschooling as an introvert.

3 things I've learned about homeschooling

Jamie Martin, editor of Simple Homeschool, also blogs about motherhood at Steady Mom

The past few days have taken me on a little stroll down memory lane. You see, last week marked the third anniversary of the start of this blog.

In that time Simple Homeschool has grown radically, and I’ve been incredibly blessed to be along for the ride. Some of you have been reading from the beginning, and I’m thankful for your encouragement and loyalty as readers.

Way back when Tsh of Simple Mom offered me this position, though, I wasn’t sure I was the right fit. “Are you sure you want me?” I remember asking.

There were a multitude of reasons why I didn’t seem qualified–isn’t that always the way we feel when we step into new things? Like homeschooling, for example!

And though not all of you are bloggers, you may still relate to my reasons of why I felt unqualified and what I’ve learned in the past three years:
