Today I’m joined by Heather Sanders. She is a contributing writer

Heather Sanders:
Thanks, Mike!

Mike:
Heather, “The Pioneer Woman” has been featured in major newspapers like the New York Times. What’s it like writing about homeschooling for a worldwide audience?

Heather:
Well, when I write my posts, I don’t really think about the fact that I’m writing to a worldwide audience—that would be a little bit overwhelming! But homeschooling is a personal conviction for our family, so my posts are all about sharing how we live out that conviction. Sometimes that might mean I’m writing a post about how I organize our weekly binders, and other times it might be about a particular product that we like.

But, there are advantages to working on a blog that has such a large audience. Because when we were getting ready for a three week adventure across the Central and Western U.S., we asked the bloggers to tell us where to go in their states. And they did. But, I do think that my posts are just as relevant for a worldwide audience as if I was sitting and talking with one of my girlfriends over a cup of coffee about homeschooling.

Mike:
Thanks so much! I’m Mike Farris.
