My guest co-host, Christina Jaloway,  and myself  wrestle some big questions today. 

Christina Jaloway joins me for the next few episodes as a guest co-host while Elizabeth is preoccupied with other things!  Christina is just starting her homeschool journey and she asks some of the big questions.  We address the question of “when should I begin homeschooling” ~ it’s a great question and leads us down the path of what education really means.  What we end up talking about is kind of the meaning of life, developing a family mission statement, and what are we doing here, exactly.
