Teaching children a foreign language is very dear to my heart, as I learned several languages myself. I have taught my children several languages, as well.

One of the tools in teaching foreign languages? Bilingual books. I have written some myself, and today I invite Heidy Espinosa Flores to tell us about her books, too.

The Coco-Nuts' Holiday Story Collection presents English and Spanish vocabulary in a story form, as this family of coconuts experiences Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas together.

Are you looking for an exciting, interactive workshop to teach your children about how a bill becomes law, how elections are organized, and how our government works? TeenPact is an amazing four-day program for teens (or one-day program for younger kids) during which they learn by immersion.

Every year, as part of TeenPact, your children will travel to your state capitol, tour the building, meet with legislators, and participate in mock elections and mock legislature.

In this podcast episode, I interview Sabrina Freeland, a dear friend of mine who coordinates TeenPact in Tennessee. I have entrusted Sabrina with my children for nine years. Every year, the kids grow and experience the TeenPact workhop differently, learning something new every time.

For more information and to find your state's program, visit www.teenpact.com.

Meet Lydia Griffin of Sevierville, TN - a homeschool mom of three, who was also homeschooled herself as a member of the first family to ever homeschool in Sevier County, TN.

Lydia and I met in 2018 through her hiking club and have found we share a love of nature, books, and all things homeschooling.

Join us as we dive into such topics as what it was like to be homeschooled in the 1980s, when it was still illegal; how we tame the technology beast; what nature can do for our children's tempers and much more. And stay tuned for Part 2 of this lovely exchange.

Ever laughed at the idea of homeschooling—only to end up embracing it as your life's calling? In this heartfelt episode of Homeschool Ways Podcast, I share my unexpected path to homeschooling.

I knew nothing about it until college, where I initially dismissed it as a crazy concept. But everything changed when I met young people who had been homeschooled, read a book titled Better Late Than Early, and then had the incredible opportunity to work with Dr. Raymond Moore, the pioneering founder of the Moore Foundation and a true visionary in family-centered education.

Through his wisdom and influence, I discovered the joys of child-led learning, the freedom of home education, and the deep fulfillment of staying home with my kids.If you're a new homeschooler, a curious parent, or someone feeling that nudge toward a different path, this story is for you.

Join me as I unpack the laughs, the lessons, and the leap of faith that led me here.
