Dawn Garrett is a homeschooling mother of three and a long-time blogger at Ladydusk, where she is celebrating her 15th anniversary of blogging.
Over the years at her blog, she has chronicled precious family memories, significant learning milestones, her own reflections, hopes, and plans, and much more.
Dawn joins us on this episode of the podcast to discuss how being part of the online blogging community has not only helped her to share about sweet moments with her children, but has also helped her think through difficult times, when homeschooling felt anything but restful.
Dawn’s story of rekindling her peace and joy through a major shift in her homeschooling philosophy is both encouraging and inspiring. Enjoy!
