2FD 040: The Reasons for Homeschooling with The Frugal Girl

Sean Merron August 23, 2017 177

Background
share close

Kristen, A.K.A. The Frugal Girl has joined us once again to share her experience from both being homeschooled herself and now homeschooling her own four children.

This super-mom’s oldest child just recently graduated and she has decades of homeschooling wisdom to pour on us. The best thing is how pragmatic she is in her approach, learning about what works for her family and how important it is for you to do the same to figure out if homeschooling is right for you.

She answers the common questions people get hung up on about homeschooling and gives us some great tips if you’re trying to figure out how to get started. CHA-CHING!
