  • Thoughtful & intentional

    Carrie is such an inspiring homeschool mom with a wealth of knowledge and ideas to curate a homeschool that fits your families needs to meet you at the season you are in. She is creative and I love how her ideas create connections. I was listening to her podcast for a while and then had the privilege to meet her at a homeschool conference last summer- she is just as kind and caring in person as she is behind this podcast. You feel like family and she truly listens. Look no further for a podcast ... more

  • Endlessly inspiring!

    This podcast first planted the idea of homeschooling for me. Then, Carrie’s less-is-more, relaxed approach made me feel like I could actually do it and move out of the fantasy stage. A year later we are in our first year of homeschooling and I’m so grateful! I have taken SO many ideas from this podcast and have applied them to designing my own homeschool with my children. This podcast is such an incredible resource each and every week. Thank you, Carrie!!

Hard Educational Decisions: A Conversation with Jamie Phipps
Q: How do you decide what is best for each child when juggling two different systems (home and school)?
She explains using peace and stability as guiding filters, recognizing that each child's needs and the family season dictate different arrangements, and emphasizes that there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
Hard Educational Decisions: A Conversation with Jamie Phipps
Q: Tell us about your homeschooling journey and what led you to explore alternative education paths?
Jamie describes her shift from extensive homeschooling to incorporating public school for some of her children due to burnout and life circumstances, while keeping a strong belief in following God's guidance and staying intentional about each child's needs.
Homeschool High School Q & A: Collaboration With Rachel Kovac
Q: What should be considered about dual enrollment and transferability of credits?
Assess readiness and transfer policies at target colleges; ensure credits will transfer and be useful to avoid wasted time and money; consider the student's goals and the practical realities of college completion times.
Homeschool High School Q & A: Collaboration With Rachel Kovac
Q: How can high school writers develop strong writing skills beyond AP courses?
Read extensively, leverage co-op classes or writing-focused curricula, and have support shown by mentors rather than heavy-handed editing at home; emphasize transferable writing skills rather than rigid five-paragraph formats.
Homeschool High School Q & A: Collaboration With Rachel Kovac
Q: What is the best way to help our kids find their calling or career?
Encourage exposure to diverse paths early—internships, job shadowing, passion projects, and classes that broaden experience beyond a single interest—so they can discover what truly fits and avoid romanticized notions of a career.
