We've decided to homeschool our three kids while maintaining our full-time careers as CPAs. How exactly are we planning to pull this off? This episode dives deep into our strategy for working and homeschooling!

The surprising truth we discovered? Most homeschool families complete their core curriculum in just two hours daily—far less time than traditional schools require for the same material.

Beyond reading, writing, and arithmetic, we're passionate about teaching practical skills traditional education often overlooks. Our curriculum includes cooking real meals, managing household responsibilities, understanding personal finance, and even launching small businesses. These experiences prepare our children for independence while fostering creativity and critical thinking. We're also prioritizing outdoor adventures, family book clubs, and one-on-one time—things we could not do when our kids were in public school.

But we're under no illusions—this transition won't be seamless. We're starting with ambitious plans while fully expecting to adjust as we discover what truly works for our family.

Whether you're considering homeschooling while working, curious about alternative education models, or simply interested in our family's adventure, join us as we document every triumph, struggle, and unexpected lesson along the way.

What happens when three kids convince their full-time working parents to homeschool them? Our family is about to find out.

When our 10-year-old daughter first suggested homeschooling over a year ago, we responded with an emphatic "No way!" As two parents juggling demanding careers, taking on the role of teachers seemed completely unfeasible. But as we listened to our children's experiences in public school, something shifted in our perspective.

Their excitement about learning beyond worksheets—about sleeping in rather than rushing through chaotic mornings—convinced us to take this unexpected leap.

This podcast documents our family's real-time journey into homeschooling. We're sharing everything honestly: the triumphs, the struggles, and yes, those inevitable moments when math problems cause frustration or when siblings test each other's patience. We're learning to expect the unexpected, navigating this new territory together, and discovering what education can look like when tailored to our children's curiosity and learning styles.

If you're enjoying the podcast, we'd love if you'd share it with someone else who might connect with our story!

Homeschooling wasn't the original plan. As two full-time working parents with three kids thriving in an excellent public school, homeschooling never crossed our minds. Yet here we are, embarking on this unexpected journey.

For us, it wasn't one dramatic event but countless small moments that gradually revealed the system wasn't serving our children. 

We realized we were fighting to maintain a schedule that made everyone miserable while simultaneously delegating more and more of our parenting responsibilities to a school whose values didn't always align with ours.

This podcast chronicles our real-time journey navigating homeschool curriculum, maintaining our CPA firm, preserving our sanity, and rediscovering joy in learning and family time. We'll share our curriculum choices, daily schedules, mistakes, triumphs, and the brutally honest reality of what happens when type-A professionals with zero teaching experience decide to educate their children at home.

 We don't know exactly where this path leads, but we're committed to transparency about every step along the way.

Ever feel like you're just managing your kids instead of actually parenting them? That's exactly where we found ourselves—rushing through mornings and evenings, always telling our children to hurry up while strangers shaped their days. We're Carson and Teran, accountants who run a business together and parents to three amazing kids. After 4 years in public education, we are homeschooling! And this was NOT the plan!

Two years ago, we would have sworn homeschooling was only for stay-at-home parents with endless time for educational crafts and gourmet lunches. Now we're learning it can look entirely different—and that's okay.

This podcast captures our real-time journey into the unknown. We're equal parts terrified and excited, committed to transparency about both our successes and inevitable failures. Each week, we'll share what's working, what's definitely not working, and how we're managing to balance it all without losing our minds. 

No experts here—just a family trying something different because what we were doing wasn't working anymore.
