Hey, homeschoolers! It’s finally summer here. If you’re anything like me, you use the summer to review your homeschooling approach. What worked, what didn’t, and what will you do this year?

One approach that I was interested in (and I know many of you are too) is homeschooling along the way, less dependent on curriculum. If you are interested in unschooling, I know you’ll enjoy hearing from my guest, Danielle Papageorgiou.

She has been homeschooling, or “lifeschooling,” for 23 years and has a passion for helping other moms learn how to homeschool in a way that enhances rather than competes with family life. Through her Lifeschooling book, blog (www.LifeAsALifeschooler.com), resources, and community, she helps parents see the educational value in everyday life and focus on developing their child’s God-given gifts, so they can raise world-changers.
