A Mom's Life, Podcast 111210

A quick look at Spirit of Hope Publishing's Latest book. It's a gift book by Brooke Nightingale, Pastor Jerry's daughter. Brooke is a home school mother of four w/ number five due on Ground Hog Day! She's also an ADDer, who struggled with ADD throughout school. It was only in High School that her Dad, Jerry, learned about ADD/adhd and was able to help her find alternative schooling schooling which allowed her to end public High School w/ straight "A's" and a new attitude about education. The reason Brooke home schools is because of her school experience and insights into education. NOTE the homeschooling appendix in Brooke's book.
