Ep. 18 – In Summertime We Are All Homeschoolers

Kelly shares insights on embracing a relaxed summer approach, and the importance of being present with your children. This episode encourages listeners to set aside the pressures of planning the perfect homeschool year and instead, enjoy the enriching experiences summer offers.

Ep. 17 – Put Curriculum in its Place!

Do you ever feel like you’re drowning in curriculum choices? I know the feeling all too well. Reviewing options can be endless and overwhelming, leaving us with questions like:

Did I pick the right one? Do I need anything else, or did I order enough? How much should I spend? Do I get a grade level for each of my children? How can I simplify this? Do we have to do all of it?  Do I need to study? 

If you’ve ever found yourself pondering one or several of these questions, you’re are not alone!
