Summary

It’s back to school season, so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to share with you what our family’s strategy is for homeschooling this year. I get asked a lot of questions about homeschooling, but it’s not a topic I have really addressed thoroughly on my podcast. Each family and child has such unique needs and circumstances, so each family’s setup will look different, but I’m hoping that by sharing what is working for our family right now, it may inspire some of you as you plan your own homeschool year.

In this episode, I cover:

- How our homeschool strategy has changed from year to year

- How we are setting up our current homeschool structure to fit our family’s needs

- What curriculum we are using for each subject and child and why we chose it

- Why we decided to stick to a stricter schedule in our home this year

- The stronger parameters I am putting around my work hours

- My top tips for having meals ready all week without extensive meal planning

- How you can approach setting your days up for success no matter your situation

0:00.0	It is currently night and I'm trying to get enough light so I'm standing where it's really
0:05.0	close outside so you're hearing all the bugs but I'm going to be doing an episode today
0:09.4	on homeschooling, homeschool, meal prep, preparing, curriculum.
0:14.5	This was actually supposed to be a video for my main YouTube channel Farmhouse on Boone
0:19.0	but when I sat down to edit it, I had some issues with the video quality that are going
0:26.6	to make it not work for that.
0:28.5	When I was going to scrap the whole thing, I was like, okay, I'm just going to throw
0:30.9	this away.
0:31.9	There won't be a second video this week, which there still won't be a second video this
0:34.5	week on my channel.
0:35.7	However, I think that this would still make a really nice podcast.
0:41.0	So I am going to just talk about our curriculum and preparing for homeschool, organizing it,
0:48.2	how we schedule our day, how I schedule in my work when it comes to this podcast and
0:53.0	my blog and my YouTube channel while also homeschooling our children.
0:57.1	There's not going to be a video associated with it.
0:58.9	So if you're watching this on YouTube, pop in some headphones, maybe fold some laundry.
1:02.6	I'm sure it's what people do anyways.
1:03.9	I'm sure nobody sits there and watches me talk for an hour but I hope that you'll still
1:08.6	enjoy it even without the video component.
1:10.8	Obviously if you're listening on Apple podcast or Spotify, you're not going to notice
1:15.8	a thing.
1:16.8	But this was something that I was going to use completely scrapped and I'm like, oh wait,
