My guest co-host, Christina Jaloway, and myself wrestle some big questions today.
Christina Jaloway joins me for the next few episodes as a guest co-host while Elizabeth is preoccupied with other things! Christina is just starting her homeschool journey and she asks some of the big questions. We address the question of “when should I begin homeschooling” ~ it’s a great question and leads us down the path of what education really means. What we end up talking about is kind of the meaning of life, developing a family mission statement, and what are we doing here, exactly.
