Welcome to The Smiling Homeschooler Podcast! This week we are doing something a little bit different, we talk about the origins of Familyman Ministries and The Smiling Homeschooler! Also in honor of fathers Day coming up, we talk about the Bathroom Book of Fathering, which is a book Todd Wilson wrote to remind dads about what is most important. Although it is geared towards dads, don't worry, it is encouraging to any parent, and we think you will enjoy it!

Before we start we want to thank Teaching Textbooks for supporting the Smiling Homeschooler for more than 250 episodes. We would encourage you to let them know that you appreciate them supporting us, and if you haven't already go check them out at teachingtextbooks.com.

Lastly thank you to Homeschooling Today Magazine, for their support. We were big fans of their magazine long before they were a sponsor and my Dad has written for them for many many years. If you would to have more regular homeschooling encouragement, then subscribe to their magazine over at homeschooling today.com.

Have a great week, and don't forget to smile!
