## Resource

Welcome to The Smiling Homeschooler Podcast! This week, we’re bringing back a conversation from a couple of years ago that we think you’re really going to love. We had the opportunity to sit down with two very special guests—homeschooling pioneers David and Shirley Quine from Cornerstone Curriculum. They share so much wisdom from their decades of experience, along with a real heart for family and homeschooling. It’s one of those conversations that’s just packed with encouragement, and is something every mom needs to hear! We hope you enjoy! Before we start we want to thank Teaching Textbooks for Making what we do possible! They help thousands of homeschoolers smile each and every day, and if you haven't checked them out, you should, over at teachingtextbooks.com Today’s show was also underwritten bySamaritan Ministries and redeem healthshare. Where Members are committed to honoring Christ and serving one another through health care needs. As Todd likes to say, "We use, love, and recommend Samaritan Ministries.
