We talk a lot about what is going on with us. Then we get into a conversation about the issues surrounding anti-mask parents and their disinterest in public schools requiring masks. This has led them to contemplate homeschooling which has caused a disruption to our spaces.

Shaniese chats with her kids about their homeschooling experience.
This is a quick session.
Please excuse the audio. This was a quick talk where Shaniese expressed her frustrations with finding childcare. In another segment, we have some fun with homeschooling questions found on social media.
During this recording day Shaniese and Takisha struggle a bit to formulate a topic. We still found a way to record an extensive session.
The audio is a bit funny on this. We made Fire Cider a few weeks back. This gives you an idea of how some of our sessions with our kids can be.
We attempted to recap our Summer and tell you all about what happened at the beginning during Takisha's son's birthday meetup in the park.
Here's the link to the website we mentioned: https://letgrow.org/kid-wanders-off-at-park-mom-issued-a-summons/
Shaniese kicks us off with her frustrations with her local library. We also have a few laughs at the expense of non homeschoolers. It's all in good fun.
We're back! Takisha takes some time to express an annoyance with a hospital chopping a documentary screening. We also test out having segments.
We just lounge around on Shaniese's couch and discuss the future of thus podcast and what's going on in our lives. The kids were outside, but still managed to make it into the recording.
We started out planning to discuss partner involvement in homeschooling, but we clearly needed to supply a base for how we each homeschool. Hopefully we can revisit this topic again.
We received a request for Shaniese to share how she prepares for warmer weather activities or outdoor play. Let us know if you have any more suggestions or requests.
We unexpectedly unpack an incident that happened to end our involvement with a certain organization (cough, Holistic Moms, cough).
Something happened in our homeschooling community and we thought maybe we should chat about it
We are joined by one of our co-op buddies to discuss our experience with the Unschooling communities we have observed
