Our first book club selection of season two isn’t entirely homeschool-focused, but related.  Many of us are homeschooling whilst riding a hormonal roller coaster and, in many cases, nurturing kiddos who are on their own age-appropriate hormonal roller coaster.  That’s a lot going on!  

If you’d like to read along with us, you can find the book here:  https://amzn.to/4j2Noop

In this episode, we’ll be talking about tweaking.  Homeschooling is all about flexibility, so if something isn’t working… you can (and should!) tweak!  Let’s explore what that might look like from small changes to really shaking things up.  

In other news…

Our current book club selection is The New Menopause… because homeschooling during menopause while our kids are on a hormonal roller coaster is all sorts of interesting! Episodes release every Thursday.  If you’d like to read along with us, you can find the book here:  https://amzn.to/4j2Noop

Honestly, we can’t imagine homeschooling without Facebook.  From finding local groups to getting advice from other homeschool parents, it is an incredible resource for homeschool success.  

However, it can also be a source of overwhelming information that causes paralysis.  You can also end up on a bit of a wild goose chase following well-intentioned, but uninformed leads from other homeschoolers.  

Check out this episode to get more targeted advice that will positively impact your homeschool journey.
