0:00.0	Welcome back to the Simple Farmhouse Life Podcast. Today, I'm chatting with my good friend,
0:05.2	Lee, from Little By Little, homeschool. We are going to talk about homeschool, obviously. She
0:11.4	has already graduated a student. She's still in the thick of homeschooling, but she's on the other
0:16.6	side of it in some respects as well. And so she's going to offer her encouragement for moms who maybe
0:23.6	doubt their ability to homeschool, but then also for those of you who are in the thick of it,
0:28.3	why it is so important, why we value it. As you all know, I've been homeschooling with my kids
0:35.3	from day one, and I am very, very into homeschooling. I probably don't go into it even as much as I

0:46.9	little bit afterwards and we were talking about some of the things like I feel like I'm not allowed

1:38.4	of moms who are happy that I talked about it because it's something that a lot of us are in the
1:43.8	trenches of doing daily. So let's start with introductions. Tell us about you, your family,
1:49.6	your homeschool experience, your podcast, or whatever else you want to share. Sure, yeah. So I
1:54.6	am Lee Nguyen and I podcast over at little by little homeschool. So I got into homeschooling.
2:02.0	This is, I'm in my 12th year right now and I have two graduates and I'm down to one kiddo. He's
2:08.8	in ninth grade, which I feel like is like the reward for all the years that I've kind of done and
