Episode Details

It’s curriculum planning season, and if you’re deep in research, deep in comparison, and slowly losing your mind trying to figure out what to use next year, this episode is for you.

Sarah shares her entire curriculum planning process: why knowing your educational philosophy is the only filter you actually need, how she plans family-style to save time, money, and sanity with multiple kids, the feast framework for deciding how much is too much, and the Google spreadsheet she uses to map everything out before spending a dollar. Plus the mistakes she sees most often — including the one that quietly burns more homeschools than any bad curriculum ever could.

The full 2026–2027 curriculum picks for kindergarten, third grade, sixth grade, and toddler are linked in the show notes.
