This episode of the Peaceful Homeschool Podcast features Emma and Beth discussing how they plan for the upcoming homeschool year. They reflect on their different planning styles and emphasize the importance of involving their kids in the planning process to ensure a meaningful and enjoyable learning experience.
Emma shares her preference for early planning, starting as early as March, and discussing subjects, curriculum choices, unit studies, and field trips with her kids. Beth, on the other hand, tends to plan more loosely and focuses on planning history and science around field trips and unit studies. They both encourage listeners not to stress about the planning process and to consider buying used curriculum or finding free resources to make homeschooling more affordable.
The hosts also share some fun traditions they have on the first day of school to celebrate the start of a new homeschool year. This episode wraps up with a call for listeners to share their own homeschool traditions.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
