22: Where We Enneagram May 08, 2017

Show notes

It's hard for us to contain our excitement about this week's episode. Though we love many different personality typing systems, the Enneagram is our newest love. Today we are welcoming our friend Amanda Ginn to the show and the three of us chat about all 9 Enneagram types and how knowing your type can help you as a homeschool parent. If you've never taken an Enneagram test before or are unsure of your type, head to 9types.com for a free starter test. You can find Amanda on Instagram at @aswearegoing

Homeschooling and the Voyage of Self-Discovery by David H. Albert

Amanda read this awesome quote by David Albert, "Recognition of the utter originality of each and every journey remains by far the single most important reason to homeschool."

18: Where We Travel Apr 10, 2017

Show notes

One major perk of homeschooling is the flexibility to travel as a family. We are big fans of this family activity and learning opportunity. You don't have to go far to reap all the benefits travel has to offer. Join us as we talk about the whys and hows of traveling as a family as well as our completely opposite travel planning styles.

Show notes

Join us as we talk about how we use routines in our homeschool. We'll talk about how routines create freedom and security for kids and parents.
