Author: Katie J. Trent
Genre: RELIGION / Christian Living/Devotional/EDUCATION/ Home Schooling
Release Date: October 26, 2021

Homeschooling is a challenging journey that’s often misunderstood. The thirty-six weeks that parents have to educate their homeschooled children don’t just come together magically. There are lessons to plan and oversee, records to keep, routines to follow, and kids to motivate. It can feel overwhelming as the teaching parent—usually Mom—tries to tackle both the educational and spiritual aspects of the children’s lives while also keeping up with household tasks such as cooking and laundry.

Dishing Up Devotions: 36 Activities for Homeschooling Families infuses faith and fun to strengthen family relationships while nourishing the teaching parent’s soul.
It features thirty-six weekly devotions, faith-building activities for the whole family, and baking recipes connected to the weekly character theme.
Author Katie Trent’s goal is to take the stress out of homeschooling with a devotional that the whole family will love through:

Encouragement from other homeschooling parents
Biblical lessons even toddlers can understand
Interactive family activities
Delicious baking recipes related to the weekly theme

Homeschooling just got easier—and deliciously fun!

My Thoughts

Homeschooling mamas unite!! No, seriously I absolutely love seeing books that are either written by homeschoolers, homeschooling mamas or portray homeschoolers in a positive way. Being a homeschool mama I am always looking for books that help us grow. This one is just for us mamas. We are all looking for that encouraging word and affirmation that we are doing a good job.

I love this devotional! It has scriptures, affirmations, family activities and easy recipes that you can cook up with your kiddos! Definitely a great time for you and for bringing you children to be part of your devotions after the fact.

I highly recommend you grab this one!!

More from Katie

Homeschooling is more than just reading, writing, and arithmetic. These thirty-six devotions are fun for the whole family, and tasty. It is just the right flavor for a busy family.
