Show notes

Today on the show we interview Caroline and Justin Shell, a first year homeschooling family with 3 young children. We discussed their journey to homeschooling, how they manage 3 children, and how they juggle homeschooling and family while working full time as a Physician and Engineer, respectively. This was a great interview and will definitely inspire you in your own homeschool journey.

Justin has founded an online company that serves as a free portal to your local homeschooling community. Looking for horse lessons? Looking for dance classes? Looking for that outdoor co-op? It's all listed there in an easy to use map system. If it's not there, and you know about it, add in content to help others. For more information on MySchool see the link below:
