On today’s episode, we’re diving into the incredible value of small homeschooling groups. Whether it’s a cozy co-op or a weekly meet-up with just a few families, these intimate settings offer unique benefits—deeper friendships, personalized learning, and a sense of community that larger groups can’t always provide. Sometimes, it’s the smaller connections that make the biggest impact on your homeschool journey.

It's Holiday's this week and we're very busy with family. So, if you would indulge us with some episodes from the archive. Thanks for all your support! We look forward to an exciting new year! Enjoy! :) Having a house full of books is about more than providing entertainment or fulfilling a learning requirement. Books are gateways to experience new places and people, launchpads to discovery, and friends waiting to be met. In our family, our book collection is large and constantly growing. At just over 2000 books we only have one problem: shelf space! A book collection is a treasure, but not if you can’t find the book you need or they’re so haphazard that natural discovery is inhibited. So today on the show we’re talking about book organization! We’ll share our methods for taming this beast and hopefully give you some tips and tricks that you can use in your home. Episode 22 - Buy All The Books! https://homeschooltogether.fireside.fm/22 Step 1: Know what you have so you don’t buy duplicates!

People outside of homeschooling circles often have a vision of homeschoolers who are gathered around the dining room table learning all day. This is rarely the case. Typically we can be just as busy, if not more busy, than traditionally schooled kids. Without the mandated school day to get in the way, we find lots of other ways to fill our time. From clubs, to sports, to enrichment classes and meetups, homeschoolers are often on the go a lot! Today we’ll talk about how to recognize when you’re overscheduled and how to find the right balance.
