Pacing is a common concern for homeschoolers. What if we finish the curriculum early—what do we do for the rest of the year? What if it’s May or June and we’re not done yet?

| 18 Mar 2025 | S2, Ep10: Rethinking Structure in Homeschooling | 01:00:08 | |
A few weeks ago, we dropped an episode all about deschooling (if you missed it, go back and check it out!). The idea of stepping away from structure clearly struck a nerve, which sent Meagan deep down a research rabbit hole. In this episode, we’re taking a closer look at structure in homeschooling—where our need for it comes from, how it shapes learning, and whether it’s truly necessary. You might be surprised by the history behind it. Let’s dive in! Let's continue the conversation on Patreon! We host live meet-ups 2x/month and can't wait to meet you.

Honestly, we can’t imagine homeschooling without Facebook. From finding local groups to getting advice from other homeschool parents, it is an incredible resource for homeschool success.

| 16 Jul 2024 | S1, Ep 12: Transcripts & Portfolios: Mastering the Essentials of Homeschool Documentation | 01:08:19 | |
Every week we share our main topic episode, but then we also share a book club episode. So far we’ve read John Holt’s Teach Your Own and Jonathan Mooney’s Normal Sucks. The next book that we’ll be jumping into this week is The Homeschooler’s Guide to Portfolios and Transcripts - you can find all the details on that in the podcast description wherever you’re listening or watching and on all our social media channels. When we said the word “transcript” when sharing the title of the book, did your stomach clench?? That word strikes fear in the hearts of many homeschoolers! Since we’ll be discussing the ins and outs of transcripts and portfolios in our book club episodes over the next few weeks, we thought what better time to introduce the topics than in this episode. We’ll also welcomed a guest in the latter part of the episode to explore what niche, interest-led learning might look like on a transcript or in a portfolio.

| 30 Jul 2024 | S1, Ep 14: Screens and Homeschool: Finding the Balance | 01:06:19 | |
In this episode, we’ll be talking about screen time. Talk about a hot button topic! Some people love screens and utilize them heavily in their home life and homeschooling journey. Some people go the Luddite route and avoid screens altogether. Screens are often a great source of tension between parents and kiddos. We also often see screentime utilized in disciplinary action well. Then of course there’s the added complexity of keeping kids safe while they’re exploring the digital world. Homeschoolers love a good rabbit hole! Dig in deeper with our helpful links: https://linktr.ee/homeschoolmomsunfiltered | |||
| 15 Oct 2024 | S1, Ep 25: Respecting Kids: Beyond 'Because I Said So' | 01:11:31 | |
In this episode we’ll be talking about respecting our kids, and likely about how our own parenting styles play a role in each of our homes. While this might not feel like it is directly related to homeschooling, we both feel confident that your parenting style and the relationship you form with your kid(s) is the foundation of everything. Without a strong foundation, homeschooling and everything else might be even harder!

| 13 Mar 2025 | BOOK CLUB: S2. Ep 9 - Differently Wired by Deborah Reber | 00:51:08 | |
We are continuing our conversation about Differently Wired by Deborah Reber. If you’ll recall, last week’s episode had to be cut in half because it ran long. What can we say? The book is just too good! So please pardon our clunky intro here. It isn’t our typical start, but it was that or a two-hour book club episode. Ha! If you’re homeschooling a neurodivergent kiddo, this series will be a must listen block of episodes for you! And… you’re going to want this book.

| 23 Jul 2024 | S1, Ep 13: What the f*ck did we do to kindergarten?? | 00:53:58 | |
In a 1998 survey, of kindergarten teachers, 33% said kids should know how to read by the end of kindergarten. By 2010 that number skyrocketed to 80%. With such a tremendous focus on literacy in kindergarten, what is being sacrificed to achieve these results? The answer - more than you probably realize! OK, but we are homeschoolers, so what does this have to do with us? A LOT! The public school system tends to set the “standard” in the US for what is expected, typical, and acceptable. So this push is being felt far and wide in homeschool circles as well.

| 11 Mar 2025 | S2, Ep9: Unschooling Math - Do the numbers add up? | 00:59:12 | |
Math and unschooling—can they really go together? This topic comes up all the time, but the conversation often stays at the surface level, with vague mentions of baking and budgeting. And let’s be honest… that can leave you thinking, but how does this actually work? In this episode, we take a deep dive into unschooling math, going beyond the usual examples to explore real, organic learning in action. We mentioned a companion video for this topic of Meagan’s daughter Astrid demonstrating organic use of math. You can find that here: https://youtu.be/sCjz_iQ_Pgc In this episode, we mentioned a previous episode about how much math and physics is interwoven with photography.

A quick note from Meagan.... in the last two weeks, I've learned powerful lessons about combining worldschooling and podcasting. Polish AirBnB internet is something else! But we are homeschool moms, right? So we'll just roll with the fact that our intro song is missing from this week's episode, right? This week we welcomed Danielle Calhoun.

What do we mean by homeschool backlash???
