Today we get to talk about one of our favorite topics: Homesteading! We discuss how to incorporate homesteading into our homeschools with our friend Katie Rutledge (@i.am.katie.anne on Instagram), who homeschools her four kids while homesteading. This episode is for anyone, even those who have never homesteaded before!
Check out our affiliate The Tuttle Twins! The Tuttle Twins books are an amazing, story-based way to teach economics and government to kids. If they don’t understand liberty yet, they will after reading these books.
