Andrea Martin - Finding Balance In The Midst Of Quarantine Chaos
Show Notes

It would be an understatement to say our lives have changed greatly over the last several weeks with the pandemic of COVID-19. I decided to use today's episode based on some recent conversations with families trying to find a sense of order, especially with their kids, now that all the schools have essentially shut down until the summer and kids are having to finish out the school year at home. And, I could think of no better person to interview on this topic than my wife, Andrea.

 Andrea and I have 5 children and we’ve homeschooled for the last 13 years. Our oldest is now a freshman in college, our son is attending public school as a junior, and our three youngest daughters are still being homeschooled. I wanted to offer support and encouragement to anyone who has been “forced” into default homeschooling because of the current crisis. My wife is truly amazing! She graduated at the top of her class in high school and college; she’s an amazing graphic designer; the most selfless person I’ve ever known; keeps our household running, and all while educating our children. 

Andrea offers practical advice and brings encouragement to moms and families who are struggling to find routine right now. This is not an episode about convincing anyone to homeschool, it’s simply a way to help sort some things out, connect with you, and share some things that have worked for us, as well as some things that have failed. I hope you find this episode encouraging, comforting, and calming.

Peace,
shane
