For anyone not sure if they want to join, Sonlight Connections Facebook group has become one of my favorite homeschool groups! —Natalie W.

 I work from home, and this is my first year homeschooling. It can feel like a bit of a roller coaster. One minute I think this is the best decision we have ever made and then other times I get bombarded with doubts: Did we make the right choice? Am I enough for the kids? Will they learn what they really need? Sonlight's Facebook groups have been such a blessing. They help me get out of those anxious/doubtful times. I get so much encouragement from the other moms and dads who have the same struggles or questions that I have. — Amy A.

 This group has been such a joy for me this whole 1st year of homeschooling, but ESPECIALLY during this unusual time we all find ourselves in. So many of you make me laugh and I wish I knew you in real life! And I LOVE to hear from all of you veteran Sonlighters because I gain so much wisdom and advice! Not many Facebook homeschool groups are as awesome as this one. Thanks for the breath of fresh air, All! Praying for you all! — Donielle G.
