This week we're diving into the magic of strewing. Strewing is a low-pressure, curiosity-driven approach to learning that invites kids to explore without formal lessons or expectations. We talk about what strewing is (and what it isn't), why it works, and how it can help shift the energy in your homeschool—especially if you're feeling burnt out or your kids are recovering from school fatigue. Whether you're an unschooler, a reluctant strewer, or just curious about new ways to foster self-directed learning, this episode offers real talk, practical tips, and plenty of imperfect honesty.Let's continue the conversation on Patreon!

((Apologies for the audio-only this week. Meagan's laptop is misbehaving and the video was wildly out of sync.))This week, we're diving into the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways our words shape how our kids see themselves and the world. From the messages baked into phrases like “when you get married” to how we respond when they mismatch their clothes or struggle through a math problem, the way we talk to our kids matters. We'll explore how even well-meaning language can have a lasting impact—and offer practical swaps that support confidence, resilience, and a more inclusive worldview. If you've ever wondered how to nurture your kid's growth without the baggage of outdated expectations, this one's for you.Let's continue the conversation on Patreon!

In this episode we'll explore how your homeschool setup shifts depending on how many kids you have and what their ages are—from solo learners to sibling squads to full-blown age gaps. We'll tackle common myths about homeschooling only children, break down practical tips for managing multiple kids, and share strategies for making it all work without losing your mind.

What if your kid just doesn't like reading? In this episode, we get real about raising reluctant readers. From neurodivergence to past school trauma, we dig into the why behind reading resistance—and offer practical, guilt-free strategies that actually help. We'll challenge outdated ideas about what “counts” as reading, call out the shamey homeschool culture around books, and share ways to reconnect your kid (and maybe even yourself) with the joy of story.

In this episode, we play a lively round of “Keep or Toss?”—evaluating which elements of traditional public education are worth carrying into our homeschool spaces and which ones deserve a permanent spot in the recycling bin. From standardized tests and rigid schedules to desks, discipline charts, and one-size-fits-all curriculum, we dig into the parts of school that shaped us—for better or worse—and imagine what education could look like in a more thoughtful, inclusive, and learner-centered world. Let's continue the conversation on Patreon!

*** Sincerest apologies. Amanda experienced some technical issues during recording and the quality of her audio isn't our typical level of awesomeness. We'll have it sorted by next week. Promise!In this episode, we dive into what homeschooling can look like during the summer months — from year-round schooling models to using summer learning as a way to travel during the off-season, avoid extreme weather, or keep a steady rhythm that prevents the dreaded "summer slide." We also explore how summer can be the perfect time to follow your child's interests, try out new subjects, and keep education feeling fresh and flexible. Whether you're looking for a break, a boost, or a balance, we cover all the creative ways homeschooling families make summer work for them.Let's continue the conversation on Patreon!

A few weeks ago, we dropped an episode all about deschooling (if you missed it, go back and check it out!). The idea of stepping away from structure clearly struck a nerve, which sent Meagan deep down a research rabbit hole. In this episode, we're taking a closer look at structure in homeschooling—where our need for it comes from, how it shapes learning, and whether it's truly necessary. You might be surprised by the history behind it. Let's dive in!Let's continue the conversation on Patreon!

We are continuing our conversation about Differently Wired by Deborah Reber.  If you'll recall, last week's episode had to be cut in half because it ran long.  What can we say?  The book is just too good!  So please pardon our clunky intro here.  It isn't our typical start, but it was that or a two-hour book club episode.  Ha!  If you're homeschooling a neurodivergent kiddo, this series will be a must listen block of episodes for you!  And… you're going to want this book.  I know we are all more annoyed with Amazon than usual since the inauguration, but you can at least learn more about the book here before buying it at an independent book seller: https://amzn.to/4fhlsLo Let's continue the conversation on Patreon!

Math and unschooling—can they really go together? This topic comes up all the time, but the conversation often stays at the surface level, with vague mentions of baking and budgeting. And let's be honest… that can leave you thinking, but how does this actually work?  In this episode, we take a deep dive into unschooling math, going beyond the usual examples to explore real, organic learning in action. We mentioned a companion video for this topic of Meagan's daughter Astrid demonstrating organic use of math.  You can find that here:  https://youtu.be/sCjz_iQ_Pgc In this episode, we mentioned a previous episode about how much math and physics is interwoven with photography.  If you'd like to check that out, you can find it here:  https://youtu.be/fJUVAUOjmGA Let's continue the conversation on Patreon!

Today we kicked off our newest book - Differently Wired by Deborah Reber.  This is a re-read for us, so we can already tell you that we love, love, love this book!!  If you're homeschooling a neurodivergent kiddo, this series will be a must listen block of episodes for you!  And… you're going to want this book.  I know we are all more annoyed with Amazon than usual since the inauguration, but you can at least learn more about the book here before buying it at an independent book seller: https://amzn.to/4fhlsLo Also, we started this episode with great intentions to make it to chapter two and then…. Not so much.  So please forgive the oddball editing at the end.  You can expect similar oddball editing at the beginning of next week's episode when we share the remainder of this discussion in part two.  Let's continue the conversation on Patreon!

Our first book club selection of season two isn't entirely homeschool-focused, but related.  Many of us are homeschooling whilst riding a hormonal roller coaster and, in many cases, nurturing kiddos who are on their own age-appropriate hormonal roller coaster.  That's a lot going on!   If you'd like to read along with us, you can find the book here:  https://amzn.to/4j2Noop  ((Hey there!  Just a quick note.... sometimes, but not always, we share affiliate links.  We only share products we use and love!  It doesn't cost you anything extra to order through our link, but it does help support our podcast.  We appreciate your help!))  Let's continue the conversation on Patreon!

In this episode, we'll be talking about tweaking.  Homeschooling is all about flexibility, so if something isn't working… you can (and should!) tweak!  Let's explore what that might look like from small changes to really shaking things up.   In other news… Our current book club selection is The New Menopause… because homeschooling during menopause while our kids are on a hormonal roller coaster is all sorts of interesting!

Honestly, we can't imagine homeschooling without Facebook.  From finding local groups to getting advice from other homeschool parents, it is an incredible resource for homeschool success.   However, it can also be a source of overwhelming information that causes paralysis.  You can also end up on a bit of a wild goose chase following well-intentioned, but uninformed leads from other homeschoolers.   Check out this episode to get more targeted advice that will positively impact your homeschool journey.   Our Patreon memberships are on sale through January 4, 2025.
