Listening to Homeschool Alumni

Homeschooling has a way of redeeming our education--so we get to learn alongside of our students. It's never to late to learn, relearn or even unlearn some things.

There's great value in listening to homeschool grads, too. Check out this interview with Ex-Homeschoolers Club, Jacob Gooden.

Bonus: Resources from Children's Trust of SC to build protective factors into our homeschool community.

Creating a Values-Based Budget That the Whole Family Can Get Behind

Under the Median offers practical budgeting, grocery savings, and frugal living for homeschool families. While homeschooling her four sons, Hope discovered that budgets work best when they reflect a family's values. In this practical session, you'll learn how to identify your family's financial priorities, create a budget that everyone can support, and get your kids on board. You'll leave with practical strategies you can use right away, plus a free copy of Hope's guide, Radically Reduce Expenses.

Bonus resource: Shiloh Woods, a homeschool grad's new single: Meant to Be.
