INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
I never thought I would homeschool. I drank every drop of the cultural Kool-Aid that made homeschoolers seem like socially awkward trolls — and then I became a mom and everything changed.
In this episode I'm talking about what shifted my mindset, what a simple and purposeful homeschool actually looks like in our home with three kids, and how we are using Texas TEFA funds this year for kindergarten and preschool.
We cover:
Why I changed my mind about homeschooling and what made it feel possible
The shift from school at home to a lifestyle of learning — and why that changes everything
Teaching From Rest by Sarah Mackenzie and why it's the first book I'd hand any curious mom
What our actual daily rhythm looks like — the real version, not the Pinterest version
How homeschooling could work even if you work outside the home
What we are using our TEFA funds for — curriculum, math, piano, and more
A Claude Q&A — because nobody has submitted real questions yet and I'm only on episode two
