Today I'm joined by Kayla from Simply Rooted, a homeschooling mom of three boys who's passionate about slow, intentional living. She spends her days in the garden raising chickens, preserving food for the season ahead, all while creating a sense of wonder in her home for her boys. In this episode, Kayla and I get real about the challenges of teaching our oldest dyslexic children to read and how both of us have had to release the pressure of doing all the subjects every single day. If you've ever felt like you're not doing enough or that homeschool is starting to feel heavy, this conversation will remind you to slow down, simplify and rediscover the joy of learning together.
