Well This Wasn't The Plan!
We never expected to homeschool...but here we are! Life is funny that way, ya know?
After 4 years in public school, we've made the unexpected leap into homeschooling our 3 kids--while still working full-time! On this podcast, we're documenting the journey in real time: the good, the hard, the hilarious, and everything in between.
Whether you're a curious parent, a fellow homeschooler, or just here for the chaos, welcome!
Let's figure it out together--because sometimes the best things start with, "Well, that wasn't the plan..."

Fan Mail
I want to say thank you! The algorithm on instagram linked me to your show and I binged your podcast episodes. I really look forward to hearing them and the lessons you've learned along the way. I have a 3.5 year old and a 9 month old and as my husband and I talk about school options I realized they're all lacking in something. I found the Alpha school that you guys talked about on a previous episode and fell in love with it (minus the price) and then realized that's basically homeschooling. I'm a project manager had a Fortune500 company and I know there's no way to do both. That has been my biggest hurdle especially since they're too young to do things on their own. I really wasn't sure what to do, but now I view this opportunity to pause work instead of completely quit forever since the kids will get older and I'll be able to do some work as they become independent. You guys really helped me make that mental leap. We still have more to plan out, but thank you for sharing your journey. You're changing the lives of my kids and I am truly grateful for it. I love your leap of faith to do this!
