Footprints Newsletter
We publish a free monthly newsletter (or homeschool ezine) to encourage and equip homeschoolers as you seek the best for your families.
We know that homeschoolers feel a little ‘different’ to other families, and so we all need regular encouragement as well as tips and advice to help us accomplish our goals more effectively.
We know that no one chooses home education because it’s easy, but rather because we believe that it’s worth the investment of time and energy into shaping our children’s lives.
Many of us are Christians and so we believe we are building our children’s characters and shaping their lives to help them live purposeful lives as we seek the Lord’s instructions for building strong families and developing godly character in each individual’s life. Even if you don’t share our faith, you will surely benefit from good principles for shaping young lives!
Subscribe to our free monthly homeschool newsletter for tips and advice from moms with over 20 years of experience.
In other words, we’ll be bringing you the best advice, articles, websites and encouragement we can to help you as you raise your young ones and build your family legacy!
Subscribe now so you don’t miss the freshest issue!
