    I always loved the idea of homeschooling the teen years because of the extra freedom I imagined it could offer students: a chance to dive deeply into their interests and take advantage of opportunities that might not be possible when tied to the public system.

    I'm pleased to report that's exactly what's happened - listen in and be encouraged!

    I've been around homeschooling circles a while now. Early on, I had a friend tell me that when I got more confident and was able to let go of things, I'd get to the point of being able to comfortably "unschool" my kids.

    She was both right...and wrong.

    So I don't know if you guys have noticed, but kids can be LOUD.

    Confession: I don't particularly care for loud.

    Desperate times call for desperate measures, and I knew I had to make life at home at least a little quieter if I was going to survive it, as well as add homeschooling to the mix.

    My own conundrum led to an idea. One that's gone on to save my sanity and allow me to continue homeschooling long-term - listen in and be encouraged!
