In keeping with the theme of use just talking to commit to a recording, Shaniese and Takisha enter into a conversation about our recent picked apple creations. We then visit a common discussion we tend to have inspired by one of our popular podcasts.  Have any thoughts you would like to share with us? Here are some links to contact us.

Shaniese chats with her kids about their homeschooling experience. This is a quick session.

Please excuse the audio. This was a quick talk where Shaniese expressed her frustrations with finding childcare. In another segment, we have some fun with homeschooling questions found on social media.

The audio is a bit funny on this. We made Fire Cider a few weeks back. This gives you an idea of how some of our sessions with our kids can be.

We attempted to recap our Summer and tell you all about what happened at the beginning during Takisha's son's birthday meetup in the park. Here's the link to the website we mentioned:  https://letgrow.org/kid-wanders-off-at-park-mom-issued-a-summons/ 

Shaniese kicks us off with her frustrations with her local library. We also have a few laughs at the expense of non homeschoolers. It's all in good fun.

We're back! Takisha takes some time to express an annoyance with a hospital chopping a documentary screening. We also test out having segments.

We just lounge around on Shaniese's couch and discuss the future of thus podcast and what's going on in our lives. The kids were outside, but still managed to make it into the recording.

We started out planning to discuss partner involvement in homeschooling, but we clearly needed to supply a base for how we each homeschool. Hopefully we can revisit this topic again. 

We received a request for Shaniese to share how she prepares for warmer weather activities or outdoor play. Let us know if you have any more suggestions or requests.

We unexpectedly unpack an incident that happened to end our involvement with a certain organization (cough, Holistic Moms, cough).

We discuss friendships and our issues surrounding how other's partake in them.

Something happened in our homeschooling community and we thought maybe we should chat about it

Exploring what it means to be a liberated parent, raising liberated people

Shaniese and Takisha discuss our experience and struggles with building community

We are joined by one of our co-op buddies to discuss our experience with the Unschooling communities we have observed

We discuss the infamous question of socialization as homeschoolers.
