  • Changed my homeschool confidence!!!

    When I decided this would be the route I would take for my children’s education in 2020 I felt so alone. I did what came natural to me read books, bought toys that weren’t overstimulating, low tech, outdoor time. Yet I still didn’t think it was “enough” … even their father would question my abilities. Then one day this podcast suggestion appears, I binge listen to a ton of episodes and I’m in love! I have found my people!
