Episode 156: Nurturing the ‘whole’ child…the holistic homeschool with Insiya Abdur Raheem

We want to talk homeschooling…more specifically….what an ACTUAL day in a homeschool can look like.

But, the reality is, every homeschool is different...because every child is different, every mom is different, and every family is different.

So, rather than just share what Tiffany and I do in OUR homeschools, we thought it would be amazing to reach out to other moms in our community and showcase all the real possibilities for homeschooling our families! 

In this episode we have Insiya, a Muslim woman, Wife, Homeschool Mom of three children under 6, Mental Health Educator and Entrepreneur. 

She's had 10+ glorious years as a counselor and trainer in the field of mental health between the Middle East and India and if that wasn't impressive enough, she's also been a research assistant at Stanford University.

Insiya, thank you for chatting with us today!

Episode 152: Homeschooling in New Zealand on a Bus with Maddy Worthington

We want to talk homeschooling…more specifically….what an ACTUAL day in a homeschool looks like.

But, the reality is, every homeschool is different...because every child is different, every mom is different, and every family is different.

So, rather than just share what Tiffany and I do in OUR homeschools, we thought it would be amazing to reach out to other moms in our community and showcase all the real possibilities for homeschooling! 

In this episode, we have Maddy, wife to James, and Mama to 6 kiddies (as she calls them). She lives in New Zealand in her House Bus and 'road-schools' her kids as they travel and explore their beautiful country.

She's a lover of holistic health & natural remedies, tiny living, dark chocolate, reading, being adventurous, all things pregnancy, birth & motherhood, especially in the context of God's amazing design…

Well, our guest, Jenni Cassidy can!  She's a wife, mother to 7 (including 5 graduates), and she lives and homeschools her youngest two children in the UK!  She's also the co-director of Dumb Ox Learning AND she's a consultant for Mother of Divine Grace!

Episode 147: Curriculum FOMO

The first question most homeschoolers are asked is…which curriculum do you use? And while this is a great question (and many of us have some excellent ideas about which options are the best), this can also be a source of pain for the overwhelmed homeschool parent (or the NEW homeschool momma).

Listen in as we chat about what we’ve used over the years, what worked…what didn’t, and how to choose from the endless options that are currently available.
