We're breaking down all-in-one homeschool options—those open-and-go boxed kits and one-stop online platforms—so you can decide if they fit your family. We've used them and totally get the appeal: simple setup, clear plans, less decision fatigue. But here's the real talk: all-in-one homeschool solutions aren't a magic box. We've tried the boxed kits and one-stop platforms, and we've got thoughts. Tune in to hear where the shine wears off, what to watch for before you click “buy,” and the factors we consider to make smart choices for our families.Our **FREE** No Kings protest coloring page can be found here: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/No-Kings-Day-Coloring-Page-Free-Resource-to-Inspire-Young-Changemakers-13664516 Let's continue the conversation on Patreon!

This week, we're diving into the warp speed evolution of AI.  We're not experts (and definitely not futurists), but as homeschool parents, we're asking the big questions: how do we prepare our kids for jobs that don't even exist yet, what skills will always matter, and how do we model responsible tech use when the future feels like a moving target? Grab your coffee (or wine), laugh with us, and let's get real about raising kids in the age of AI.If you'd like to join our book club, you can pick up the book here:  https://bookshop.org/a/111689/9780593656969(Full disclosure… that's an affiliate link.  It doesn't cost you anything extra to order with our link, but we do get a little brownie point from Bookshop.org when you order.  Thank you so much!)Let's continue the conversation on Patreon!

In this episode, we're talking all about our homeschool plans for the 2025–2026 school year! From navigating middle school transitions and balancing drop-off programs to embracing unschooling flexibility and big-picture life changes, we're giving you a behind-the-scenes look at how two very different homeschoolers map out the year ahead. Whether you're brand new to homeschooling, questioning if you're “doing enough,” or just curious how others are approaching the year, we hope our plans spark ideas, ease doubts, and remind you that there's no one right way to homeschool.Let's continue the conversation on Patreon!

We cracked open the Tuttle Twins books so you don't have to. And wow... they're somehow even worse than we imagined!!! Marketed as “secular” and “educational,” they're actually a masterclass in fear-mongering, bias, and political propaganda dressed up as kid-friendly history. We pulled the most jaw-dropping quotes, unpacked the agendas (which are sometimes hidden and sometimes just smack you in the face), and confirmed without a doubt - hard pass.Let's continue the conversation on Patreon!

This week we're talking about something every homeschool parent eventually has to figure out… how to get a little time to yourself and still keep life running. We love being with our kids, but homeschooling means a lot of together time.  Even the most devoted parent needs a breather now and then. We're sharing the real-life ways we've managed alone time, tackled appointments, and kept up with day-to-day logistics while homeschooling full-time. From bartering kid swaps with friends to scaffolding independence, we've got ideas that work in different seasons of life, plus a healthy dose of honesty about what's realistic (and what's not).Let's continue the conversation on Patreon!

We're kicking off a month-long throwback series centered on Normal Sucks by Jonathan Mooney… a powerful, neurodivergent-affirming book that challenges how we define success, intelligence, and worth. Over the next few weeks, we'll revisit our favorite episodes unpacking big ideas from the book and what they mean for life, learning, and raising kids outside the norm. We'll wrap it all up with an author Q&A you won't want to miss. We hope you enjoy our discussion of this must-read title.  Let's continue the conversation on Patreon!

In this episode, we dive into the messy, meaningful world of social-emotional learning (SEL) and what it actually looks like in a real-life, progressive homeschool. We're not talking about boxed kindness worksheets or vague “be nice” mantras.  This is about embedding emotional growth, empathy, and self-regulation into everyday moments. We share practical examples, helpful resources, and why SEL isn't fluff… it's foundational. Whether you've got littles just learning to name their feelings or teens navigating boundaries and big decisions, there's something here for you.Let's continue the conversation on Patreon!

Our goal is to provide thoughtful, age-appropriate resources that help families discuss these subjects with nuance, curiosity, and respect for diverse perspectives.This week we are concluding our review of the Annabelle and Aiden book series—an engaging collection designed to spark big conversations with young learners.

In this episode, we're diving into the surprisingly powerful role of boredom in our kids' development. Yep—boredom! We talk about why unstructured time isn't just okay, it's actually great for sparking creativity, curiosity, and independence. We share research (including a study from UVA's Jamie Jirout), practical tips for scaffolding self-directed play, and how to handle common parent concerns like sibling fights or kids who “don't know what to do.” If you've ever felt like you need to entertain your kids 24/7, this one's for you. Let's normalize stepping back and letting them get a little bored.If you'd like to check out the study we referenced in today's episode, you can find more information here:  https://education.virginia.edu/news-stories/boredom-can-be-great-kids Let's continue the conversation on Patreon!

In this episode, we're asking a big question: What the f*ck did we do to kindergarten? From standardized testing to the disappearance of play, we dig into how early education in the U.S. has shifted from joyful exploration to academic pressure... and how that impacts our littlest homeschoolers. We'll break down how public school standards creep into homeschool expectations, why play is essential (backed by research, not just vibes), and how countries like Finland and Germany are getting it right. If you've ever worried your 5-year-old might be “behind,” this episode is your permission slip to take a deep breath and let go of the race.If this episode resonates with you and you'd like to dive deeper into what developmentally appropriate education really looks like for kids ages 6 and under, check out our self-paced course, Preschool and Kindergarten, Reimagined: A Complete Guide for Homeschooling Littles. We'll walk you through the why and how of play-based learning, help you build a calm and intentional rhythm to your days, and give you practical tools to support your child's growth without the pressure of tests, rigid benchmarks, or outdated expectations.Learn more here: https://courses.homeschoolmomsunfiltered.com/homeschoolinglittles2Let's continue the conversation on Patreon!

In this episode, we're talking about how to keep going (or pause, pivot, and reimagine) when everything around you feels chaotic.

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.

As always, expect real talk, unapologetically secular and progressive perspectives, and plenty of laughs along the way.

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!
