059 \\ PART 1: ”I Said I Would Never Homeschool” - Work from Home, Military Mom Shares About Her First Year Homeschooling with Courtney Albertson

When I have the opportunity to sit down and talk with other homeschooling moms, their stories of how they came to homeschooling is always very similar. It usually starts with, ”I said I would never homeschool,” which always makes me chuckle because I once said the same thing. Just like schooling outside of the home, homeschooling comes with its own set of challenges in managing the home and keeping your sanity with systems and routines. One the show today, Courtney Albertson, a work from home, military mom, is sharing about her first year homeschooling. She tells us what led her to choosing to homeschool and how she’s had to work through mental barriers to unlearn the traditional school structure to make homeschooling fit her family’s needs. She also shares how she balances doing everything on her own while her husband is deployed and how she gets him involved when he’s not. Stick around for part two of this conversation as I give her some home management coaching specific to her needs.
