The first time we started homeschooling was during COVID, and like so many families, we had to make quick decisions in a short amount of time. 

Then our ...

One of the biggest things new homeschool parents fear is: What about socialization?

You might picture your child going from a classroom full of kids every day to suddenly sitting alone at the kitchen table, cut off from the world.

And that image probably feels isolating and maybe even a li...

I’m a mom of two girls who runs a business, manages a career, and juggles family life…and I also made the choice to homeschool.

Now it’s time to take the next step: setting your vision for the homeschool year ahead.

And no, I don’t mean creating color-coded lesson plans or map...

There's something about August that feels like you're standing in the two worlds at once.

When it comes to planning the summer, homeschool families often find themselves stuck between two tempting visions: a calendar packed with camps, trips, and exciting enrichment activities...or a laid-back season full of pajamas-till-noon, neighborhood walks, and slow days of simple joy.

If you’re a homeschool family looking for connection, support, curriculum resources, or fresh inspiration, homeschool conferences and expos are one of the best places to find all of that in one spot!
