  • It’s bittersweet

    We are also brand new homeschoolers with all the same reasons for our decision! I’ve decided my answer to anyone asking us why is TIME. No more rushing. No more missing their moments of growth. We just bought back our kids’ childhood. Solidarity, sister! Can’t wait to follow along.

  • Homeschool Curious

    I’m enjoying the candid conversations & insights around homeschooling. We’ve experienced so many similar pain points and dynamics of our three kiddos in traditional & montessori schooling. I’ve enjoyed listening so far to Teran & Carson’s conversation around the decisions leading to homeschool, excitement about the possibilities, and HOW they’re making it happen for them. It’s reigniting my curiosity to see if homeschooling is the next step for us. Can’t wait to follow more of their journey!
