    I LOVE this. As someone who was homeschooled, I can testify that the job of homeschool mom takes all of that, and more.

    haha - your comment made me think that I may have things reversed. Don't think of them as prerequisites. Perhaps the title of this post should be "What a Home School Mom Looks Like After a Few Years of Homeschooling"!
