Dropping Nate At College

I wrote a blog post over at Homeschooling In Real Life today. I shared a little of my experience dropping Nate off at college and the advice I gave to him as we parted ways. Are you wondering what we talked about?

Let me give you a hint. It's Fletch, all my conversations boil down to the same thing: The Gospel.

Homeschooling In Real Life - The Website

I am very excited to announce that Homeschooling In Real Life has found a new home for itself on the web. HomeschoolingIRL.com was publicly launched this evening. 

The Podcast And More

After launching our podcast in September with great success, we decided to create an all-in-one location for everything HomeschoolingIRL. As part of the network, the HomeschoolingIRL podcast will continue to be hosted on the Ultimate Homeschool Radio Network, but this site will provide cohesion for this new venture.

Aside from the podcast, Kendra and I will begin blogging on this new site. We will focus on homeschooling, but you can expect this blog to mimic the podcast. We will be open, transparent, and witty as we blog through the topics most homeschoolers like to avoid. Expect to be encouraged in the gospel and pushed toward living in the freedom that Christ brings.

Pop on over and take a look. Let me know what you think.

Ultimate Homeschool Radio Network

Several weeks ago, Kenj was approached about doing a podcast for a new network of homeschool podcasts. The idea was to collect several experienced Christian homeschoolers and create a series of podcasts that discuss topics through the spectrum. Now, for those who struggle to make it to a local or state convention, they can tune into their computer or download a podcast to hear some great content by great speakers.

As she thought about partnering with the Ultimate Homeschool Radio Network, she developed the idea of podcasting as a team. After a quick discussion we came up with what we think is a perfect blend of our strengths and skills to create the "Homeschooling in Real Life Podcast" or HomeschoolingIRL.

One more thing on our plate? Not really. Technically, I already knew how to record and edit a podcast. As for content, this just becomes another outlet for us to share what we have seen and experienced after 16 years of homeschooling.  You can expect us to be witty and transparent as we pull the veil back on Christian homeschooling and uncover a few sacred cows that are worshipped.

Our first episode/introduction is already up. Follow the link to our HomeschoolingIRL on the Ultimate Homeschool Radio Network site and you can hear us introduce ourselves. Beginning on October 11th, we will release our podcasts every other Friday night at 8PMPST. You will be able to download from our page or by using our iTunes feed. You can also follow us on Facebook and Twitter.  

Please give us feedback. We'd love to know what you think about the HomeschoolingIRL podcast, both technically and creatively. Any topics you want to see opened and discussed.
