• Janna: If you didn't know they were the first hosts of Homeschool Your Way. Super excited to kick off Season 4 by having them back giving an update.
• Ximena: Graduated daughter from homeschooling with one child remaining.
• Ximena:Seasons come and seasons go if there's one thing we know about parenting is that it's ever-changing.
• DeeDee: But to really circle back and say, Okay, I don't want it just to be out of fear. But to say what do I want to see for my kids? What are the positives that I want to bring into their life?
• Janna: I think it's very similar to taking a road trip so you can map out how you're going to get from your start to your finish.
• DeeDee: Well, yeah, and that's really the idea behind the name of the podcast, Homeschool Your Way to take your curriculum and take your ideas, your educational goals, but make it fun.
• Ximena: We know they say homeschool moms don't get paid that like those are paydays for me.

• Janna: Well, documentation is important.
• Ximena: Just enjoy every messy moment, because it is going to be super messy. And it's going to be different every day.
• DeeDee: And we just want to let you know it is worth it. It is so special to homeschool your kids, to form those relationships, to grow and learn together.
