  • Good content, but…

    Love the idea of following a family as they start homeschooling, but the show is too scripted, and sounds a little like it is written by AI. Wish it was a bit more conversational.

  • Relatable!

    I’ve been looking for content from homeschoolers that work full time and I love that both parents are involved! So helpful as I brainstorm ways that I could make this work in my family.

  • It’s bittersweet

    We are also brand new homeschoolers with all the same reasons for our decision! I’ve decided my answer to anyone asking us why is TIME. No more rushing. No more missing their moments of growth. We just bought back our kids’ childhood. Solidarity, sister! Can’t wait to follow along.
