Getting Started

Getting Started

I have been homeschooling for so long and roadschooling has been a regular part of my family, so sometimes I forget what it was like in the beginning. Many people already homeschool and are ready to make the leap into roadschooling. Other have babies, not yet ready for school. And many more have kids in […]
