165: Getting On The Same Page As Your Partner

Not sure which is more daunting: figuring out our kids' educational options, or getting on the same page with our partner about those options! This is a topic that has come up A LOT in our conversations with other parents, so we're processing our own stories about making school / homeschool decisions with our partners. We also share 3 tips to help you have these conversations with your partner.    Join us on Patreon this week where we'll be talking with our partners!   This episode is sponsored by NaliniKIDS.
