Hello and welcome back to the campfire! Today we have Kelly Edwards joining us. Kelly is an entrepreneur, licensed foster parent, creator of the 90-Minute School Day, and homeschool mom to 3. Seven years ago when Kelly first began to homeschool, she tried to bring school home and the boxed curriculum was the teacher. She soon realized this was not going to work.Through her real-life failures, connections with other families in similar straits, and the guidance of some amazing mentors; Kelly redefined what she wanted homeschool to be like for her family. This is where the 90-Minute School Day was born.Through this lifestyle approach to education, Kelly's method connects children with learning in their natural environment: at home with their family. This method guides the homeschooling parent with a framework and system that will spark imagination, ignite wonder, and inspire your whole family to adventure.So grab a seat by the fire as we travel to the mountains of West Virginia and discuss how to detox and launch our new diet of learning naturally in our homeschools!If you like what you hear and have enjoyed our show, please show your appreciation by subscribing to our Podcast and leaving us a review on your Podcast App of choice. We would love to hear from you so please email us with any comments or questions you have. Visit us and all of our content, including our blog, at www.thehomeschoolprojectpodcast.comAs always, let's Light A Fire They Can't Put OutThank you for listening!Show Notes90-Minute School Day website: Welcome - 90-Minute School Day (90minuteschoolday.com)Instagram: @ 90minuteschooldayClubhouse: @ 90minschooldayBooks Mentioned:Teach Your Own by John Holt- https://amzn.to/3FBDk1U Learning All The Time by John Holt- https://amzn.to/3oL4XzTMontessori: A Modern Approach by Paula Lillard- https://amzn.to/3anFTGvThe Secret of Childhood by Maria Montessori-  https://amzn.to/3AvAckHFor The Children's Sake by Susan Schaeffer Macaulay- https://amzn.to/3uZXD4qOwn Your Life by Sally Clarkson- https://amzn.to/3Fx5HP1Other related episodes:Free To Learn with Dr. Peter Gray- https://www.buzzsprout.com/777311/7701526Unschooling With Robyn Robertson- https://www.buzzsprout.com/777311/8983186A Montessori Homeschool with Aubrey Hargis- https://www.buzzsprout.com/777311/895406021st Century Charlotte Mason Education with Leah Boden-https://www.buzzsprout.com/777311/8842675Ongoing Community Support:Our Free Homeschool Getting Started Packet: https://thehomeschoolprojectpodcast.files.wordpress.com/2021/08/guide-to-getting-started-packet-1.pdfOur Free Ultimate Family Camping / Outdoor Checklist: https://thehomeschoolprojectpodcast.files.wordpress.com/2021/08/camping-checklist-2.pdf"We are a participant in an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to affiliated sites."

One of the things we often underestimate when we decide to live a life without school - regardless of how excited about it we are - is how our family and friends will respond to it. How we'll talk to them about it, and answer the questions that they'll probably have. Because despite the growth and awareness in home education recently, we are still very much in the minority, and this path is still very misunderstood.With so many families joining to this path, I want spend some time today building some tools to help with those family and friend conversations.

Welcome to the Smiling Homeschooler podcast! This week's episode is a really good one! We talk about how to homeschool the hard child, and to be clear we don't mean a bad child, just a one that is...hard!  Also, don't forget We are going to be releasing the You Da' Dad daily calendar soon. This is a great Christmas present for your husband, and we only have a limited quantity, so keep an eye on our Facebook page, and website for when those become available.  Before we start I want to thank Teaching Textbooks for sponsoring the Smiling Homeschooler!  Check out a free trial over on their website teachingtextbooks.com.    Have a great week and keep smiling! 

After listening to her interview you will say "WOW - I didn't know this was available to protect myself and my family!"   AND.....you will get answers as to WHY the justice system does little to help. Sabrina Osso came from violence; her father beat her mother on a regular basis. When she moved out she fulfilled her dream of becoming a dancer and created a one-woman show, "Home Sweet Home."   Sabrina Osso is the Founder and CEO of OSSO SAFE.  She is a TEDx speaker, real estate agent, and consultant on promoting safety and preventing violence in the workplace, schools, and places of residence.  Osso Safe approaches the issue of violence in homes, schools, workplaces, and properties. Their vision is for the prevention of home violence through the real estate industry. This is an interesting concept you do not want to miss. In Sabrina's interview, she explains how abuse should NOT be part of anyone's residency, EVER. She also discusses the connection between violence and pornography and why the legal system often makes horrible matters even worse. She plays different women being abused but it ends with a strong, empowering message. With extensive research in the area of abuse and the alarming statistics, Osso Safe was born.

It's getting cold here in Utah and I have been making a lot of soup. In the beginning, I needed to follow a recipe step by step to figure out how to make the soup until I felt comfortable creating my own recipes. Homeschool is the same way. Sometimes you want a recipe of curriculum that will walk you step by step of what to do. I give two suggestions for curriculum that you may like that will help those of you who are wanting more help on what to do in your homeschool. www.coachmegthomas.com

She is passionate about child-led learning, supporting small businesses, growth mindset, and living a purposeful life without clutter and overwhelm. After a year of trial and error of trying to find the right tool to help organize their family's lifestyle, she realized it didn't exist.She began to see a common need amongst other homeschoolers; ones that approached homeschooling as a life choice rather than just an education pathway. That's when Freely was born. Through the creation of Freely as well as YouTube videos, Tiffany is following her passion of helping others.So grab a seat by the fire as we travel to Australia to discuss how you can prioritize and enjoy what matters most in your unique, crazy, messy, adventure-seeking homeschool!Quick reminder.

In this week's episode I want to talk about how a good home education lifestyle doesn't just happen...it needs to be designed. Because it's one thing to decide that a life without school is the right thing for your family, and the path you're going to take...but it's a whole other thing to work out, practically, what your days and weeks will actually look like.The beauty of home education, of course, is that you get to decide how you want to approach it. But, that's also one of its biggest challenges. And more often than not, you won't find your balance and flow until you've experimented, and probably blended together a few different approaches.You need to find what works for both you and your children, ebbing and flowing with your family's energy and interests.That's not easy, it doesn't just happen, and it takes some thoughtful work. Today, I want to help you with some starting points and strategies for that.My de-schooling guides: https://starkravingdadblog.com/home-schooling-guides/

Dog parks have really become a big deal. They are used daily by hundreds of families with dogs. They romp, run, play and wrestle. Sometimes, they just hang out. It often reminds me of McDonald's Play Place. Throw a bunch of random kids together and they're bound to hit it off, right? As a child, it was my favourite restaurant to eat in. A Kid's Meal with a toy and a place to play with bouncy horses, ball pits, Merry-Go-Rounds, and slides. McDonalds knew that if they built it, the kids would come - and the kids would bring their family! It was brilliant marketing on their part. The kids, after all, are typically the ones who get to choose where. The parents were happy because after eating, they got to chat while the kids played in the little windowed cell - safe and contained. What kid wouldn't love it at the Play Place? Well, there are some. The ones who get bullied by other kids. The ones who get hurt. As a kid, I remember an incident where I was pushed from behind by a child on the slide. I didn't know him. I wasn't sure if he was impatient and I was taking too long or if he truly was looking to bully me. All I know is I ended up with a goose egg on my head and a fat lip where I bit down hard. My mom came running in to help me and after attending to my immediate needs, she turned to find both child and parent had vanished. They were nowhere to be seen. That was early on in the days when McDonalds first realized that marketing to children was beneficial. We saw exciting colours and fun and wanted to be part of it! We didn't have access to the information we do now. We made decisions based on different factors back then - the Play Place seemed safe and magical! Fast forward to today and the accessibility of details at your fingertips. Google "Play Place Accidents". I got almost 5 million results in less than one second! Now, I'm quite certain that not all 5 million results are horrific incidents, but likely, a few of them are. Now Google "Dog Park Accidents".McDonald's Not quite as big a list at 1.5 million, but still a lot of incidents includiing Spectator articles about dogs being killed. We don't recommend the traditional use of Dog Parks. With the lack of structure and complete anonymity, it can be a powder keg just waiting for a spark. With the stories that we are privy to, we know that it's not worth the risk. None of our staff would ever go to one. Check with any vet and I'm quite certain that they've all seen tremendous injury as a result of Leash-Free Dog Parks as well. So, the question is, are you willing to take the risk? There are, of course, a balance of facts. Probably most days go by without incident at the Dog Park. With a little planning and some rules to follow, it can be a fun experience. So, how do you decide if the risk is worth it? I would break it down to the points we talk about in this episode.

Welcome back to The Literary Life podcast with Angelina Stanford, Cindy Rollins and Thomas Banks. Today our hosts embark on a new series of discussions as we read through Jane Austen's Mansfield Park together. To view the schedule for the episodes in this series, see our Upcoming Events page. Our hosts open the conversation with their first experience with this book and some thoughts on why people may struggle with Mansfield Park more than any other Austen novel. Angelina highlights the similarities some people note between Austen and Shakespeare and how this book illustrates that point. Thomas responds to criticisms that Fanny is a “prig.” Cindy brings up the importance of place in this book thematically. Other ideas they discuss in this episode are moving from blindness to sight, the importance of triangles in this book, and appearances versus reality. Commonplace Quotes: Many come to wish their tower a well… W. H. Auden, from “The Quest” Sadly, we do not have a Christian culture today that easily discriminates between a person of spiritual depth and a person of raw talent. Like the wheat and the tares of Jesus' parable, they can be difficult to distinguish. The result is that more than a few people can be fooled into thinking they are being influenced by a spiritual giant when, in fact, they are being manipulated by a dwarf. Gordon MacDonald Would you think I was joking if I said that you can put a clock back, and that if the clock is wrong it is often a very sensible thing to do? But I would rather get away from that whole idea of clocks. We all want to progress. But progress mean getting nearer to the place where you want to be. And if you have taken a wrong turning, then to go forward does not get you any nearer. If you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; and in that case the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive man… If you look at the present state of the big mistake. We are on the wrong road. And if that is so, we must go back. Going back is the quickest way on. C. S. Lewis Fairy-tale Logic by A. E. Stallings Fairy tales are full of impossible tasks: Gather the chin hairs of a man-eating goat, Or cross a sulphuric lake in a leaky boat, Select the prince from a row of identical masks, Tiptoe up to a dragon where it basks And snatch its bone; count dust specks, mote by mote, Or learn the phone directory by rote. Always it's impossible what someone asks— You have to fight magic with magic. You have to believe That you have something impossible up your sleeve, The language of snakes, perhaps, an invisible cloak, An army of ants at your beck, or a lethal joke, The will to do whatever must be done: Marry a monster. Hand over your firstborn son. As printed in Poetry Magazine, March 2010 Book List: Ordering Your Private World by Gordon MacDonald Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C. S. Lewis Mere Christianity by C. S.

Welcome to Season 5 of The Well Read Poem with poet and classicist Thomas Banks. Throughout this season, we will be exploring the poetry of Walter de la Mare. De la Mare was a great Gothic writer and was very interested in the atmosphere of the uncanny. Poem begins at timestamp 2:50. Check out our sister podcast, The Literary Life Podcast, for more great discussions of literature! Summer Evening By Walter de la Mare The sandy cat by the Farmer's chair Mews at his knee for dainty fare; Old Rover in his moss-greened house Mumbles a bone, and barks at a mouse; In the dewy fields the cattle lie Chewing the cud 'neath a fading sky; Dobbin at manger pulls his hay: Gone is another summer's day.

The very first podcast I ever created was on homeschool lifestyle. I asked, "Is homeschooling what you do or who you are?" The post Homeschool Lifestyle appeared first on Ultimate Homeschool Podcast Network.

Hello and welcome back to the campfire! Today we have Jen Myers joining us. Jen is an entrepreneur, founder of Homeschool CEO, and longtime homeschool mom. Over the past 17 years, she has homeschooled 4 kids while building 3 multi-six figure businesses. It all started in 2004, when her life came to a crossroads. The traditional school system wasn't working for her family, and their second grader and preschooler needed more than the school system could provide.Back then, homeschooling wasn't even on their radar and they had a thriving automotive repair shop. Was it even possible to be successful at BOTH homeschooling and entrepreneurship? Through a crazy turn of events, Jen decided to try out homeschooling. She quickly learned that running both the business and homeschool was possible AND she didn't have to feel guilty about it.  That's why Homeschool CEO was created. To connect, empower, and inspire women who are building more than a side hustle, all while educating the next generation of leaders, who will change the world.So grab a seat by the fire as we travel to Iowa and discuss how you can homeschool and build a wildly successful business AT THE SAME TIME! Quick reminder. With Fall approaching and the leaves changing, we are excited to announce the release of our Free Ultimate Family Camping/Outdoor Checklist! Nathan and I have been camping for years with and without kids. So we put together this checklist in hopes to help other families wanting to get out and camp more.

For this episode I want to dig into two of the biggest misconceptions about home education that I, personally, have experienced over the years that I've been an unschooling dad.Despite it being a rapidly growing form of education, especially over the past year or two, homeschooling (or unschooling, hack schooling, home education, world schooling - whatever your personal flavour or term happens to be) - is still a widely misunderstood world.The reasons for choosing to opt out of school and the approaches home educating families take have all broadened hugely over the years. How it's all viewed by the wider population, hasn't really kept pace with that. Common perception is as narrow as it was 50 years ago.At best, this is causing awkward conversations in the playground.At worst, it's holding the world back from advancing how our children experience life (and that goes for their adulthood when they get there, too).RESEARCH LINKS:A systematic review of the empirical research on selected aspects of homeschooling as a school choice: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15582159.2017.1395638Can Homeschoolers Do Well In College? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/can-homeschoolers-do-well-in-college/Australian home educating alumni study: https://home-ed.vic.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Alumni-Report-National.pdfHomeschooling and the question of socialization: https://www.jstor.org/stable/1493091?seq=1
