Episode 30: Thoughts on Choosing and Using Curriculum

It's that time of year when we are narrowing down our curriculum choices, when the hope is high that we'll find something that will really work and ignite our homeschool to be better than it's ever been. Cuz maybe this past year was disappointing (which actually is probably true for everyone this time around, what with quarantining and all).

Yet you don't know where to start or how to find that perfect something. Or you're overwhelmed with all the choices. It's almost worse than choosing from the dessert menu at Cheescake Factory!

Do you need someone to give you some pointers? That's where this podcast episode comes in. I'll share my thoughts on choosing and using curriculum so you don't set yourself up to fail. It's gotta work for YOU, right?

As always you'll hear my practical viewpoint that you might not find elsewhere. I want you to feel encouraged and inspired—but with no pressure. We've all got lots going on; no one needs to turn this into yet another thing that we feel like we're not good at. So in 15 minutes you can regain perspective and get motivated to press on!
