Simple Homeschool – Details, episodes & analysis

I can hardly believe it, but this is the FINAL episode of the Simple Homeschool podcast with me, Jamie C. Martin...and my son Jonathan joins me to wrap it up!

Don't worry, though, I'm not leaving you Jamie-less :) You can still find me over at Simple Homeschool as well as sharing my quotes and poetry on both Facebook and Instagram!

• This episode is sponsored by FORM Fitness PE/Health curriculum and All About Reading/Spelling!
• Take Jamie's quiz, What's Your Homeschool Mom Personality?

In our final episode, Jonathan (homeschooled K-12) gives those of you feeling worried about your kids' future an encouraging pep talk from his perspective, having spent two years in the real world thus far.

He also gives a shout out to TJEd High, an online mentoring program he was a part of during high school. And I surprise him (& almost make him cry) with a poem I wrote inspired by a scary homeschool moment, as well as my view on it from now, so many years later!

We also recap the most popular episodes he and I have recorded, including:

• 5th most popular - Ep 110: When Your Homeschooler Refuses to Do Something
• 4th most popular - Ep 104: Did you "miss out" because of homeschooling?
• 3rd most popular - Ep 106: The "S" Word, Socialization
• 2nd most popular - Ep 105: What Is Relationship-Centered Homeschooling?
• 1st place - Ep 109: Reasons to Homeschool (There are a lot of them!)

Come listen in and be encouraged, and remember that all of my episodes will remain up for you to revisit whenever you need them!

Welcome back to my newest Simple Homeschool series, in which I’m going back in time to share my thoughts as a retired homeschool mom after 15 years of active duty!

• This episode is sponsored by My Fun Science and Oak Meadow
• Take Jamie's quiz, What's Your Homeschool Mom Personality?

In this month's episode, I decided to chat about an article I wrote back in 2010 called 7 Characteristics of a Charlotte Mason Education.

Obviously I have a LOT more homeschooling experience and thoughts of my own now, many years later, and in this episode I share them all with you!

Listen in for a dose of homeschooling inspiration, and to also relieve yourself of any Charlotte Mason homeschool guilt.

Welcome back to a new episode of the podcast - I'm flying solo on this one, since Jonathan is currently on tour as Lighting Director for the Jonas Brothers!

If anyone is going to one of their concerts this fall or winter, please head over to the lighting booth if you can and tell him, "Your mom sent me over to remind you that she's proud of you and she loves you."

In Episode 118 I chat about:

• The wonder of seeing Jonathan in action on the Jonas Brothers Tour
• The Weirdness of Not Having to Get Up Early for the Homeschool Day
• Our Love for CNN10 back when it was with Carl Azuz - thrilled to find out Carl just began his own news show: The World from A to Z!
• The stereotype that homeschoolers can't survive in the "real world" as my son travels to a different city each night!
• My 25th Anniversary Dance with Steve
• Navigating Seasons of Change and the Unknown
