If Wendy Hawksley needs to teach a world geography lesson, she doesn’t have to find a map. The family recently moved from Delaware to South Korea, thanks to her husband’s career in the Air Force. While they’ve managed to find a homeschool group in their current location, they haven’t forgotten their future. In fact, they’re hoping to be relocated to Europe next year, where they’ll continue to homeschool their 7-year-old son, Gavin.

There are certain houses, such as a builder’s model home or one for sale, that are the essence of serenity. While most wouldn’t describe a homeschool room as “serene,” that’s just the feeling we get from Cheryl Wilcox’s homeschool room. The family of seven has five children, ages one through ten.

Amy is a mom of a homeschooling mom of a 5-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl. They tend to follow the Charlotte Mason method, Amy explains, and they love “living books.” When it came to making the decision to homeschool, Amy says having it any other way was never an option, they just knew it was what they wanted.
