We tried two more home meal plan kits... we have a winner! Dinnerly? Hugry Root?

If you read my previous post on home meal plans you learned a couple things:

1. I hate to cook.
2. I hate to cut vegetables

You probably didn't know that I also hate to shop for food, which is why I kept ordering these meal plans...  And now that I have been trying them for a couple of months... I have a winner because taste is more important than convenience.

So the Home Chef vs Hello Fresh contest went on for a minute, but the cost was a bit much. Since the portions are plentiful, I hacked Hello Fresh by getting the two meal plan for 4 people and adding an extra side dish of potatoes or salad.  Easy.  We really should talk about hacking these meal plans...

Why are homeschoolers allowed to homeschool when teachers need certification?

This question was presented to me on the website Quora.  I decided to go ahead and make a vide.  This was my answer.... to that rude, rude question.

Stop Downplaying and Apologizing for Homeschooling: A 1-minute Rant

Seriously ya'll.  It does no one any good to downplay yourself to make someone else feel good.  Especially when you know you are rocking it!


 

So the next time you find yourself at a party, surrounded by public school die-hards or teachers, just say "Yes, I chose something different and I am really happy about it" or change the subject.  You are not obligated to defend homeschooling to the masses.

College Prep Homeschool 8th grade foreign language

In this video I share ways to approach the foreign language requirement for homeschooled students.  Doing a survey of foreign languages in middle school, then it will be apparent which foreign language they should tackle for high school.  Colleges require a student to have two years of foreign language under their belt.  Many give a foreign language test.  Some only test in Spanish.  If the student passes this test than they don't have to take any foreign language in college.
