Braveschoolers, it’s true.Nadine Dyer, friend of Brave Writer, has broken up with our dear Charlotte. The horror! I urge you to tune in to Episode 5 of the podcast to find out why.
Nadine shares great stories of how she and her son overcame his resistance to math, how she’s applied the insights of poetry teatime to other areas of her homeschool, and more. Be sure to listen!

Isn’t this fun? I am loving our new season of the podcast. In Week 3, we went over 17,000 downloads. Whaaaat?! Thank you. So glad the podcast is meeting a need.
The wonderful Alicia Hutchinson is up next. She’s a powerhouse of support and help to homeschoolers. Her community called “Learning Well” offers parents practical imaginative ideas to create a great homeschool experience without fussiness or the scourge of perfectionism.
The funny thing about Alicia is that she never really saw herself as a mom – much less a homeschooling mom. Now she can’t imagine life without homeschool. She blends her natural artistic flair with curiosity and creativity to engage her children. Her Instagram feed is also gorgeous! Be sure to follow her (@learningwell).

On today’s podcast I sit down to discuss how the Brave Writer Lifestyle draws on diverse experiences to provide excellent home education.
Julie Kirkwood, our guest, is a mom to three kids who believes in the value of curiosity, exploration and a daily dose of nature in her homeschool world. She created the fantastic home education website Creekside Learning.
Creekside Learning is a space to share STEM and Naturalist learning resources for adventurous kids, as well as inspiration for homeschooling parents.
Julie also shares a number of tools that she and her children developed, including Positive Thought Cards. They are positive affirmations for learning that can act as a reset button when you get to a point where learning stops. It’s a unique, effective tool. And it’s FREE until through Feb. 28, 2017—Learn More!

Contest on Instagram
[UPDATE: The contest has ended. Thanks to all who entered!]
Do you follow my Instagram account? I hope so! It’s where I spend the most time playing on social media. Today, Monday February 20th, I’m giving away two sets of headphones (one to you, and one for a friend) to better enjoy these podcasts. These “audio-technica” headphones are the same ones I use when I run. They have little removable ear loops to keep them in place when you’re washing dishes or indoor rock climbing, the sound is awesome, and there’s a volume button on the cord for your convenience.
Both sets of headphones are hot pink (to cheer you up in February)! Pictured below.
Leave a comment on the headphones photo that TAGS a friend, or names a friend
Share the contest with friends on social media (however you like: regram, on Facebook, via Twitter)
That’s it! I hope you win!

It’s baaaaaack! My podcast that lurched along at my whim, not on any schedule, has returned—with a schedule and a podcast engineer!
I’m excited about Season 2 especially, because I’ve turned to real experts in the homeschool adventure—not celebrities, not curriculum providers. These podcasts are interviews with Brave Writer Moms who are living the Brave Writer Lifestyle with their kids, each in their unique way.
I can’t wait for you to meet these moms—they are in the trenches amid piles of laundry just like you. They offer a slew of tested tricks and practices to increase the magic in your homeschool.
If you’re new to Brave Writer (Welcome by the way!! I’m so glad you’re here!), you can learn about the Brave Writer Lifestyleon our website now!
Then tune in to the podcast. Subscribe to Brave Writer podcasts on iTunes or check them out here on the Brave Writer blog.
The first Brave Writer Lifestyle podcast is with Rebecca Spooner of Homeschool On!
Rebecca writes about homeschooling on her blog Homeschool On, and she helps others with planning their lives and launching their own blogs at RebeccaSpooner.com. She has five kids between the ages of three and nine, all of whom are homeschooled.
