No two women are alike and no two families are alike. I have learned much from these women and the different ways in which they parent and live. cheers Beverley http://homeschoolaustralia.com http://alwayslearningbooks.com.au Through homeschooling my children I have met hundreds of wonderful women devoted to mothering and educating their children.

Grace for ourselves and grace for others that may be doing things differently than we are. And let's not forget that the daughters pick up this stuff from their mothers. God willing if the mother is showing grace than more likely the daughter will extend that same grace to her sisters. Thank you Nancy, as always. The sinful creatures that we are we need constant reminding to show charity. Grace, it requires grace. Grace for ourselves and grace for others that may be doing things differently than we are.
