| 0:00.0 | Hey there and welcome to homeschoolhood, the show and community where we talk about all things, education and parenthood and the beautiful mess where they intersect homeschool. |
| 0:13.5 | I'm Erica Ladd, former public school teacher and parent, turned homeschool mom to my two elementary age daughters. |
| 0:20.7 | I never thought we'd homeschool, |
| 0:23.0 | but we accidentally fell in love with it this past year and haven't looked back. Whether you |
| 0:27.3 | homeschool or not, my hope is just that you find encouragement, practical ideas, and some |
| 0:32.6 | real talk about raising and educating tiny humans here on homeschoolhood. Welcome, welcome to the very first |
| 0:40.7 | episode. You guys, I'm so excited. This is something that I have been thinking about, our whole |
| 0:45.8 | first year of homeschool. And I'm just thrilled with that behind us. I have the bandwidth, |
| 0:50.8 | and it's now an actual thing in your podcast feed and in your ears now. |

| 1:35.3 | actually. I like to say I stuck my claws in at 15. I saw potential. I hung on tight. And we have |
| 1:43.4 | two girls, Julia and Vanessa. They are eight and nine now and going into third and fourth grade. We are actually a family of five, including our elderly chihuahua, which we 100% do count him. He's kind of our homeschool mascot, an ever-present cranky old man, and we love him. |
| 2:02.5 | We are originally from Wisconsin, but moved here to the desert in 2009, actually. |
| 2:07.7 | So we are in a suburb of Phoenix, Arizona, which means, you know, this time of year, we are |
