Wrapping up our homeschool year + curriculum picks for next year - S4, E34

Finding Joy in Your Home

This past homeschool year was anything but smooth—between hospital stays, moving twice, and navigating postpartum exhaustion, our plans got turned upside down more than once. In this candid episode, I reflect on the highs and lows of our chaotic school year, how we adapted on the fly (including a big shift to online learning), and what lessons we’re taking into the next season.

Plus, I share our full curriculum lineup for the upcoming school year—from language arts and science to our big plunge into Omnibus with our oldest boys. If you’re curious about Master Books, Monarch Online, CTC Math, or how we approach homeschool with eight kids (including two toddlers), this episode is packed with practical insights, encouragement, and a peek into our real-life homeschool decisions.

Whether you're wrapping up your year or just planning ahead, I hope this gives you ideas and freedom for your own journey.
