À propos de ce contenu audio

We never expected to homeschool...but here we are! Life is funny that way, ya know?


After 4 years in public school, we've made the unexpected leap into homeschooling our 3 kids--while still working full-time! On this podcast, we're documenting the journey in real time: the good, the hard, the hilarious, and everything in between.


Whether you're a curious parent, a fellow homeschooler, or just here for the chaos, welcome!


Let's figure it out together--because sometimes the best things start with, "Well, that wasn't the plan..."

    • 22. 2026 Goals + Keeping the Kids Busy While We Work!
      Jan 19 2026

      Send us a text

      We trade the post-holiday slump for a simple “goals time” system that gives our kids clear daily reps and gives us reliable work blocks. Short, intentional practice drives Spanish, piano, and sports progress while we scale our accounting workload through tax season.

      • juggling homeschool with a 42-hour workweek and seasonal peaks
      • setting kid goals with specific daily reps and clear time limits
      • choosing fewer goals and ranking priorities to avoid overload
      • using a checklist and a monthly $100 incentive tied to consistency
      • focusing on Spanish speaking and listening with daily micro-lessons
      • building piano skills with 10–15 minute sessions and steady difficulty
      • planning spring break camps and considering year-round homeschool
      • teaching money habits with a 50% save rule toward car funds
      • balancing app-based learning with handwriting and core subjects

      Make sure if you have a question to leave us a fan mail and we will answer those on the next episode!

    • 21. Technology in Schools and Education
      Jan 5 2026

      Send us a text

      We push past holiday overload to unpack a big question: what happens when schools move all work onto screens, and what do kids lose along the way.


      • school device policies and filter workarounds
      • screen time displacing handwriting, grammar and composition
      • our guardrails: shared computers, short videos, supervised access
      • targeted skills: typing, file basics, safe browsing
      • summer plan: light year‑round learning to prevent slide
      • choosing electives with limits, Outschool for exploration
      • non‑negotiables: daily reading and a physical activity

      Make sure you leave us a review!!!

      We finish our first semester of homeschooling and share what worked, what didn’t, and how we balanced real jobs with real learning. Honest wins, hard pivots, and a few surprises changed our mornings, our kids’ confidence, and our plans for next term.

      • routine that protects work blocks and quiet hours
      • pen-and-paper curriculum improving writing speed and focus
      • testing revealing gaps
      • tailored pacing for Slate’s math acceleration
      • life skills growth in cooking, chores, and money habits
      • travel learning and bravery lessons in Costa Rica
      • adding formal science and history next semester
      • using OutSchool to cover busy work seasons
      • refocusing on one-to-one time with each child

      Please send us your questions. Also, please go leave us a review and give us five stars!!!
