    Using Legos as a teaching medium

    Do you have Lego fans in your house? Have you ever considered using them as teaching mediums? If not, then this episode is for you. If you already use Legos as teaching mediums, that is okay, stick around because you may find some new ideas that you have never thought about. My kids are huge Lego fans in part because my husband loves them so much. We use them for more than just building. I can't wait to hear your ideas on how you use Legos as teaching mediums in your home. Thank you for tuning in!

    Embracing homeschool stigmas

    As a homeschool family, we all know that there are stigmas that come about during our time as homeschoolers. If you are thinking about homeschooling, I hope that this podcast episode gives you strength and courage to take the step out and to make that decision to homeschool your children. If you are already a homeschooler, you know the stigmas that are surrounding us as homeschool families but you too need to embrace those stigmas. There is nothing more satisfying than to watch your child grow and learn at the same time.

    Traveling as a homeschool family

    Have you considered becoming a roadschool family or a homeschool family that travels every once in awhile? Me and my husband considered doing this but we never did.

But, if you are a traveling homeschool family, you may want to tune into this episode to grab some ideas on how to keep your homeschool supplies organized while you are traveling. Even if you aren't considering doing this, it may be a great life lesson that you may eventually use. Or, maybe you know of a homeschool family that may be interested in doing this. You can pass along this episode to them. Come on over to my Facebook page and join the discussion about traveling as a homeschool family!
