  • So much freedom

    As a first time homeschool mom, Carole’s approach has brought so much freedom! Homeschool feels fun, simple, and sustainable - all pressure is off for me to overperform, which gives me energy to focus on the things that really matter: character, life skills, relationships, great books, faith, etc. 10/10 recommend this podcast and Carole’s seminars!

Choose a church that benefits our children and when t... more

  • I’m obsessed!!!!!

    As a former homeschooler and mom of littles who can’t wait to homeschool my own kids, I love Carole’s podcast SO much! I have been going through and listening to every single one and have gained so much knowledge and such an appreciation for literature just by listening. My mom followed her approach with us and all the time reading together as a family was so precious. I love the interviews of former homeschoolers and especially love the episodes on “preschool”. Thank you Carole for continuing t... more
