About the Episode On today's episode of the Strike a Balance Podcast for Working Homeschool Moms, I have the pleasure of talking to Melissa Brander. Melissa is the creator of Pocket Homeschool. She has a deep passion for lifelong learning and desires to help homeschooling families to find their way. She’s based in the Midwest where she homeschools her two boys. Today we spoke about how to feed your family as a working homeschool mom. There's so much effort that goes into it, so Melissa gives some practical tips and strategies for making it easier. And she also speaks about inviting our kids into the kitchen, which we can easily do as homeschoolers. Love this! Be sure to check out Melissa's website, and follow her on Instagram and Facebook.
