Welcome to The Smiling Homeschooler Podcast! I'm Ben Wilson. A couple of years ago, we had four amazing homeschooling moms, Lexi, Ali, Rebekah, and my wife Rissa, join us to share their homeschooling journey. Now they are back! We asked them many questions to see how their first couple of years has been, and their answers were amazing and encouraging. 

Welcome to The Smiling Homeschooler Podcast! This week our discussion is about whether or not it is possible for every day of homeschooling to be a good day, and some of the things that can help make it better, or worse! It was a fun topic, and we think you will be encouraged! 

Have a great week and don't forget to smile! 

Welcome to The Smiling Homeschooler Podcast! We are back with a great new episode! Our topic this week is what decisions can we let our children make, and what decisions do we make for them? We break it down from young kids all the way up through graduation! It was a great conversation, and we hope you enjoy it! 

Welcome to The Smiling Homeschooler Podcast! Unfortunately, while we were recording by internet stopped working again, so we are going to re-play an episode from a couple of years ago where we discuss ways to help fight the feeling of your children being behind. This is something that almost every homeschooler will struggle with at some point, so we think this is a great topic and will help you smile! 

Welcome to The Smiling Homeschooler Podcast! We are back with a brand new episode! Our topic this week is the moments that make us laugh during homeschooling. This is something we haven't ever really talked about before, but these are some of the best moments you'll experience in your homeschooling journey. Hopefully this episode will help you smile and laugh more in the coming homeschooling week! 

Have a great week and don't forget to smile!
