Thank you!

You’ve given me the courage and strength to know I can homeschool.

I’ve wanted to homeschool since planning my second set of kids. I’ve done public school with my teenagers (now junior & sophomore). It worked for that part of my life, but I really realized how down hill public schools have gone and I want to keep and build a closer relationship with my littles. I want to travel the world and show them history or whatever we are learning about. I want my kids to be able to choose what they want to learn and love learning. I have being confined to a school schedule and want the flexibility and freedom. I love this podcast and it’s given me the belief that I can do this. Thank you ladies!
