By now, most of us are knee deep in our homeschool year.

And no matter how far into your year you are, and no matter what’s happened that you either did, or didn’t, expect to happen, I’m willing to bet that something funny has happened: You’re carrying around a lot of pinecones.

What on earth do I mean by that?

In this episode, you’ll hear:

All the ways we end up with a metaphorical 56-pound backpack of homeschool curriculum
What are these pinecones (and why do I keep picking them up?)
How to decide which homeschool curriculum you really need for the rest of the school year
