Ninth  Winner:  Tracye G., who wrote, “I recommend “The Busy Homeschool Mom” because it’s my number one reminder that God comes first and then my husband comes before EVERYTHING else. As homeschool moms, our families and marriages can fall apart when we get it out of order. When I first found TBHM, I was thrilled to see that putting my husband before kids was the RIGHT thing to do. Such a marriage changer! What a joy to celebrate being “That Girl” and sharing with other mom friends that they are also “THAT girl”. My husband definitely says thank you for helping me get my priorities in order!

Tracye – We agree … you are THAT GIRL! Keep on loving that husband of yours 🙂 and keep us posted … we look forward with you to a harvest of JOY. 🙂  Your comment has been chosen and you’ve won a FREE copy of “Words Along the Way: A Journal for Busy Moms.”  We hope you will keep it with you and write down what God is doing in your life as the months go by.  To claim your prize, please send your mailing information to savannah@fchm.org.

Final Winner:  Busy mom Stephanie writes, “Not only does your blog remind me that I’m not alone in this homeschool journey, but it reminds me that getting the curriculum done every day is not the be all end all. Character counts. I need to remember to cultivate my kids whole person as well as make time for taking care of myself, my marriage, and my husband.”

Stephanie – You’ve nailed it!   You’re not alone. Character counts. Cultivate relationships. Take time to take care. Love your husband. We couldn’t have said it any better.  We’re sending you a free copy of “The Busy Homeschool Mom’s Guide to Daylight” … it will be just the boost you need to gain both practical application and perspective as you nurture your precious family.   Please send your mailing information to savannah@fchm.org and we’ll send it your way.
