S2, Ep30: Balancing Life Logistics and Alone Time in the Homeschool Trenches

This week we’re talking about something every homeschool parent eventually has to figure out… how to get a little time to yourself and still keep life running. We love being with our kids, but homeschooling means a lot of together time. Even the most devoted parent needs a breather now and then. We’re sharing the real-life ways we’ve managed alone time, tackled appointments, and kept up with day-to-day logistics while homeschooling full-time. From bartering kid swaps with friends to scaffolding independence, we’ve got ideas that work in different seasons of life, plus a healthy dose of honesty about what’s realistic (and what’s not).

Let's continue the conversation on Patreon! We host live meet-ups 4x/month and can't wait to meet you. Plus, in September, our podcast book club will be shifting to a live, interactive format on Patreon. Join here: https://bit.ly/3X5R0gI Use code FTP90 for 90% of your first month!
