Choosing Rest in the Midst of Homeschooling
by Spencer Mason | May 29, 2021
Rest? Seriously? How in the world are you supposed to rest in the midst of piles of laundry, meals, homeschooling, outside activities, curriculum decisions, teaching older children while trying to keep your toddlers from swinging from the ceiling fan, not to mention the dealing with the expectations of others (especially extended family)? Maybe one day in a different season of life, right? No! You can choose rest now! Through the lessons she has learned, Dana wants to help you see how you can choose rest in the midst of the chaos of daily life and homeschooling and actually enjoy it!
Dana McDill is the wife of NCHE executive director, Matthew McDill. They live in Creston, NC (Ashe County) with 8 of their 9 children ages 6 to 19. Their oldest daughter is married. Dana has been homeschooling for 16 years. She loves encouraging other mothers on their homeschooling journeys because this journey is not for the faint of heart. Dana has personally struggled with hormonal imbalances and adrenal fatigue through which she has learned much! She is a “normal” homeschooling mom who wants to be real about the joys and challenges of homeschooling and to encourage others not to give up. She is still on her amazing journey of refinement and in the trenches just like you!
