Why do we start for the kitchen to get a drink for a child, get sidetracked by a paperclip on the floor and end up weeding in the garden with no idea why our child is still thirsty? Why do library books constantly disappear into black holes in our homes, never to 19 be seen again?...at least not before the fines add up? Why do we have 25 projects started in our day and only 2 or 3 are ever finished? As a self-proclaimed “Gloriously Unregimented Mom”, Carol shares stories and strategies from the heart (and from the trenches!) about a home run by a highly distractible mom. She brings to light the many “truths” distractible moms must own if ever they are to develop strategies that work. Best of all, Carol shares her firm conviction that the highly distractible mom has a real and God-given edge over the naturally organized mom. Come and learn and laugh as you find REAL help for the highly distractible mom.

When children create something from their learning, they will remember what they learned far longer than if they completed a worksheet page about it.

Jeannie Fulbright will share tips and actual demonstrations for replacing workbook assignments with creative ideas for Science, History, Geography, Literature and more. Examples and visual-aids make the information easy to understand and implement in your homeschool.
