The summer is a great time to refresh our minds and bodies from the heavy focus on academics during the homeschool year. But, we shouldn't become zombies and lose brain cells.

There is a happy medium! And today's episode is going to give you ideas about how to keep your homeschool children learning over the summer, while balancing that with it not overwhelming you.

Grab a pen and paper so you can scribble down a few ideas and then...have fun with the learning this summer!

Three times a day (plus snacks!), you've got at least a few sets of eyes looking to you, the homeschool mom, for nourishment. In plain English: you're responsible for feeding everyone over and over and over again. Lol!

It's easy to get off track with nutrition and the budget when it comes to getting food into the house and onto the table.

Today's guest is Chandis of Close to Nature. She is a registered dietician nutritionist, along with being a homeschool mom herself who is passionate about helping others enjoy the amazing food God has provided for us.

You will be encouraged by her simple and authentic approach to fueling her family's bodies on a budget, so grab your pen and notebook to take a few notes!

Opinions can vary greatly and the debate can get heated amongst parents when it comes to organized sports. And then let's throw in the homeschool element and the lines can be drawn.

No matter where you fall on the spectrum, I think we can all agree that homeschool families should be intentional about how they spend their time. We already do that when choosing curriculum, so why not with extra-curricular activities such as sports?

Let's have a friendly conversation about it and weigh the pros and cons so you can make a decision that aligns best with your family. And then, give grace for others to make their own intentional decision.

You'll want to grab a pen and paper to jot down some important questions to consider!

Ah, the age-old socialization question...

No matter where you homeschool or how long you've been doing it, you will be asked about socializing your children. We often roll our eyes and bite our tongues.

But, as a homeschool parent, you may have a legitimate concern about your child being stigmatized as a weird homeschooler.

We're taking a fun poke at socialization and weirdness in today's episode. I hope you have fun with it too, but also walk away with some solid tips about this topic.
