WELCOME BACK: THINKING ABOUT YOUR WHY

What this episode covers

SEASON 4 EPISODE 137 | Another Season is here! We are starting off with a blast from the past with previous Homeschool Your Way hosts DeeDee and Ximena ie. Chips & Salsa Ladies. Listen in as Janna, DeeDee, and Ximena talk about the joys and challenges of homeschooling multiple children for many years. See how the highs and lows that come with homeschooling balance out in the end with consistency and remembering to find your WHY each year as you decide what is best for your family and children. ABOUT OUR GUESTS | DeeDee and Ximena (known as the Chips & Salsa Ladies) are two moms who have walked together through their homeschool journey, learning to savor life through every messy moment and reminding one another to enjoy the ride. With over 20 years of combined experience, they love encouraging other homeschool parents through their YouTube channel, social media, and Homeschool 101 online course. Recently, they celebrated a milestone as their firstborns graduated, embarking on a new chapter as moms of young adults.

Janna: If you didn't know they were the first hosts of Homeschool Your Way. Super excited to kick off Season 4 by having them back giving an update. Ximena: Graduated daughter from homeschooling with one child remaining. Ximena: Seasons come and seasons go if there's one thing we know about parenting is that it's ever-changing. DeeDee: But to really circle back and say, Okay, I don't want it just to be out of fear. But to say what do I want to see for my kids? What are the positives that I want to bring into their life? Janna: I think it's very similar to taking a road trip so you can map out how you're going to get from your start to your finish. DeeDee: Well, yeah, and that's really the idea behind the name of the podcast, Homeschool Your Way to take your curriculum and take your ideas, your educational goals, but make it fun. Ximena: We know they say homeschool moms don't get paid that like those are paydays for me. Janna: Well, documentation is important. Ximena: Just enjoy every messy moment, because it is going to be super messy. And it's going to be different every day. DeeDee: And we just want to let you know it is worth it. It is so special to homeschool your kids, to form those relationships, to grow and learn together. Thanks to show sponsor BookShark.
