Special Note: We had a family emergency this weekend and the monday episode was delayed. We will be back to it on Thursday. We are sorry for the delay. Today on the show we interviewed Kristina Garner, creator of the fantastic secular curriculum Blossom & Root. We discussed what drove her to develop this curriculum, why nature based learning is so critical, and how we should approach using the resources she provides. She also has lots of great advice for new homeschooling families as they embark on this rewarding journey.
