I have been impressed to revive the No Mommy Left Behind blog so I thought is would be fitting to reintroduce myself.
My name is Andrea Hall and I am…
Well, who am I exactly?
I could say I’m a busy, working homeschooling mom of three, but that doesn’t quite cut it.
- I am a teacher – I teach on Outschool.com
- I am a tutor – I tutor through my own company The Study Hall Education Consulting Company
- I am a creator- I love to create art as well as design workbooks. I create activities and worksheets to support your math curriculum and post them on Teachers Pay Teachers.
- I am an executive director of EPIC Homeschool Network, Inc. – If you’re interested in homeschooling I’ve got resources to share.
But in the midst of all of these roles…
I am in desparate need of MARGIN!
Have you ever gotten to that moment when you feel like you can’t handle one more thing?
Whether you are a working mom, single mom, working homeschool mom, stay at home mom or homeschool mom you might all identify with this picture:
In my unknown quest for margin I stumbled upon a book entitled Restoring Margin to Overloaded Lives by Dr. Richard A. Swenson.
The summary of the book says it all:
Are you lacking the time, money, physical or emotional energy to accomplish the tasks of a given week or month? Then you’re headed for system failure. Whether you’re facing burnout now or want to prevent it, these 11 lessons can help you understand stress and limits, find balance and rest, and maintain priorities.

Wow! I don’t know about you but I could sure use this in my life.
So what will I be focusing on in September? Margin!
To help me with accountability I am doing a Mommy Margin Challenge and I hope you will join me.
The plan (notice I said plan because we all know how life gets) is to do one chapter every three weeks. I think that’s doable, not too stressful but keeps the goal in mind.
I will be sending weekly challenge updates for those who join either in the No Mommy Left Behind Facebook Group or via email for those who don’t do Facebook and the best part is… it’s all FREE!
