This podcast is an excerpt from a workshop we held for the members of The Well community. It was SO GOOD! You will definitely want to take a listen.

We are confident you will take away some parenting wisdom that you can use TODAY with your child. Don't miss out!

What is the best budget-friendly way to keep your homeschooling library fresh, interesting and up-to-date? Your local library could have what you’re looking for FREE of charge. Are you on a budget but still want rich educational resources? Learn tips here on how to keep a free homeschool library in your home that matches your lesson plans.
We utilized our local library resources consistently throughout our homeschool journey. Beyond saving us money, the library became not only our main system of acquiring homeschool curriculum materials, but a way in which we came to value and partner with the staff of our local library. My kids and I developed a love for the library in a way that was definitely due to the fact that we spent so much time there. We can confidently say that using the library is the best budget-friendly way to homeschool!

Foraging Adventures was created for homeschooling families seeking interactive, vibrant educational experiences. This podcast episode sheds light on the wonders of foraging and its significance in teaching about how God made plants right in our own yards that can nourish us. We believe this fascinating endeavor will make homeschool lesson plans come alive.
Our guest, Ryan Saul from Venture Outside Florida has been leading foraging tours and fishing charters for several years. He shares, alongside his daughter who helps on the adventures, his valuable insight on responsible and safe foraging practices, emphasizing the fact that with thorough research and education there's no need to fear embarking on this exciting way of eating. He tells the story of how he got started foraging as a challenge among friends and the surprising health benefits revealed to him along the way.
Just like homeschooling helps us think outside the box, foraging is one way to do that and has the potential to greatly enhance homeschool unit studies or separate Science, Nature Study and/or Journaling lessons. We hope to inspire you and your family to gain a deeper understanding of God's bounty in the natural world around you.
