The Diary Of A Homeschooler

This is the first episode of me reading my substack articles for my fellow homeschool moms who just don't have the time to sit down, and when they do, they have other things to worry about. I get it, so I'm recording them for you so that your day can keep moving seamlessly and you don't have to feel bad about having your headphones in lol

If you've ever needed encouragement from a homeschool dad's perspective, here it is. Nick, The Homeschool Helper, joined me today, and we had a great conversation about homeschool values, Classical Conversations, and how to support our children's needs. Send this one to the homeschool dad you know, to help build his confidence and put his mind at ease. Here is the direct link that Nick...

I had the absolute pleasure to sit with Mayeesa, a homeschooled and college graduate. She was kind enough to share how she's navigated life since being homeschooled, along with advice and tips from her own experience.

It was truly a pleasure getting to sit down and chat with Darleen. Getting to hear her struggles, advice, and all the in between really helps us not feel alone as homeschoolers. In this episode I really tried to hone in on her personal experience as a Latina and how homeschooling looks from her POV. I hope you enjoy this episode, and let me know in the comments what you think, or if you have any q...

Do you really need them? And if so how to you go about doing it "right"

On this episode I'm asking myself, and you guys, tough questions about how we can achieve this goal as homeschool parents. How do we protect our children without isolating them?

Shoot me a DM, email, or even comment on this podcast (...

On this episode I'm diving into a deep conversation with my baby sister, Clara. I ask her all of the questions you guys wanted to know. How was her homeschool experience, college, and what life was really like being the caboose of such a large family. Please comment your thoughts after listening because I'd love to hear from you. Were the answers what you expected? did she go deep enough?...

No interview today. Just me and my thoughts and how I run our busy household. I may have repeated myself a few times so I do apologize for that. But I do hope you can walk away with some useful tips. Please RATE my podcast and let me know what you think about it so far!

Join me an another homeschool graduate, Shannon, and we discuss our experiences being homeschooled in the 90's, and the culture/environments we each grew up in.

Be sure to follow Shannon on Social Media, and let us know if you have any questions!

Today I had a truly unique interview with Dr. Michell as we discussed phonics, a little bit of its history, and his NEW phonics based program for young readers and kids just learning to read.

This conversation was so enlightening and made me realize so much more how important having your "village" actually is. But if WE (the moms) don't open up to one another, or allow other moms to open up to us and really get to know new people, we'll never be able to have that village and we'll continue to struggle in little ways. We NEED each other, not just our spouse, but other moms to switch off...

Join me today and chat with another second gen homeschooler. We're talking about how it was when we were kids vs nowadays. What do we do differently? would we let our kids try public school? what style do we use? and so many more questions like this answered here!
