Episode Details

It’s Sarah’s birthday week and she’s celebrating with a fun one: ten things that have genuinely made her homeschool life easier. Not things that look good on a list, but things that are actually woven into their daily life and that she would genuinely miss if they were gone.

From batching breakfasts on the weekends (a system she started running a home daycare) to the vintage Bluetooth speaker that replaced the Echo she kind of hates, to the line leader system that ended the bickering, to silent reading time that her girls call their favorite part of the day . . . this episode is practical, a little funny, and full of things worth stealing for your own home.
