About today’s guest:
Quickly realizing traditional school wasn’t the right fit for her daughter, Allison and her family started their homeschool journey. Searching and finding there were no books that spoke to what the day-to-day life of a homeschooler is like, she researched and developed that message for her daughter. Flooded with support from her local network, Allison decided to share her homeschool message with the larger homeschooling community.
