This is a treat! The Weinert's and I sit down to talk about homeschooling and hilarity ensues! It's not all silliness; trust me! You'll just have to listen for yourself.

Homeschooling in the early 90s and memories of our own schooling, including sports

Curriculum

Weird mom moments

How to set goals and motivations, time frames = parameters = expectations, it's easier if those are established at a young age

Homeschooling is growing together!

Another benefit of homeschooling - learning how to learn

Main goal of parenting

Answering the question: Are we sheltering our children?

This episode is a recording of a veteran panel we had at our Encourage homeschool conference not too long ago. The four veteran homeschool moms tell a little about themselves and answer questions from the audience. You'll hear me in there too;) It's all meant to encourage you!

So grab your favorite cup and listen in!

This is the second part of my conversation with Kate. It's a continuation from the previous episode. So if you haven't listened to that, make sure that you do. In this episode Kate and I talk about all sorts of things from screen time, to breakfast and meal planning, to Mom worries, to math. Kate has 2 kids on their own, one in Sr. high, another in Jr. high, and two younger ones bringing up the rear. But Kate confesses she still doesn't know if she has found her stride in homeschooling yet. You'll have to listen to find out why.

With that, grab your favorite cup and listen in as I have coffee with a homeschool mom.
