0:00.0	Welcome to the Finding Joy in Your Home Podcast. I am your host, Jamie Valmay, and this is the podcast where we blend to deeply theological topics with thoroughly practical application, all for God's glory.
0:12.2	Hey, friends, welcome back to my podcast. This has been a very requested episode talking about what homeschool things we are doing for next year a couple of
0:22.4	weeks ago. Maybe it was a month or two ago at this point now. I did a podcast episode kind of
0:28.3	breaking down what our homeschool looked like this year. This was a bit of an unusual year with
0:33.1	having a newborn right at the very beginning of the year. Ricky was born in August. So that kind
0:37.1	of kicks your year off in kind of a funny foot. So this year was definitely one where we were more finding
0:43.0	our rhythms again, focusing a lot on reading. And so in that episode, I talked a bit about what we had

1:42.6	we do have a good, I felt like we came into homeschooling
1:46.5	with quite a leg up because Jason was homeschooled himself, K through 12. I went to public school,
1:52.1	so I was actually no help at the beginning. So I read every book out there on homeschooling because
1:56.2	I'm like, I need to feel more confident. I don't know anything about this. But Jason was homeschooled K through 12,
2:03.1	his mom homeschooled all seven of their children all through all the way through. And in fact,
2:08.3	his youngest brother will be graduating high school next week, I mean next year. And so I feel like
