FAITH ASPECT:
While this isn’t a faith-based group, we want to be upfront that we may discuss Christian curriculums and programs. We want this to be a safe place for friends of all faith walks to discuss how their beliefs impact the decisions they’re making and motivation for homeschooling. If this would turn you off, it may not be the right fit!

Meet the Leaders:
Angela Braniff: “We are a family of 10 just trying to love each other well and live out our faith everyday. We are high school sweethearts, blessed with 8 children! Four grew in my belly and four grew in our hearts. We homeschool and love to go on adventures, believing that how we spend our days is how we spend our lives.”
You may know Angela from her family YouTube channel This Gathered Nest or her personal channel Angela Braniff. She is a mama to 8 kiddos and currently homeschools 5 of them.
Dawn, The Minimal Mom: “First things first, I’ve never homeschooled before! My husband, Tom and I, were planning on transitioning to homeschooling this fall, and the current circumstances just confirmed that decision. So, I’m excited to learn WITH you! We have four kids ages 5,7,9, &10 and my goal is to KEEP IT SIMPLE! One thing I do know, is that simplifying our home is one of the BEST decisions we’ve ever made and I’m excited to share my best tips to help you declutter your house, too!”
You can find Dawn’s YouTube channel, The Minimal Mom, here
Lisa Bass, Farmhouse on Boone: We are a family of 8, with three “school aged” kids. We like to focus on teaching the basics, like reading writing and math in the morning, and giving kids tons of space for creativity and exploration the rest of the day. My desire is to create a home that has an atmosphere for learning, so that kids stay interested and engaged. Keeping a simple home and focusing on easy meals is my strategy for not getting completely overwhelmed with it all. You can find me on my Youtube channel Farmhouse on Boone and on my podcast, Simple Farmhouse Life.
There will be lots of homeschool talk, but we’re all passionate about simplifying other ares of our homes and lives, too, so that we can enjoy this time with our kiddos.
Thank you for stopping by– we’re really looking forward to getting to know you better in the Facebook group!!

MORE QUESTIONS?
Why Facebook?
We put A LOT of thought into the best place to host this group. Fortunately and unfortunately, Facebook offers the most robust platform for this type of group, with Facebook Lives, the ability to create announcements, units, share videos and more!
What if I’m not on Facebook?
You’ll have to create an account to join, unfortunately, there is no way around that, but you don’t have to use the account for anything else!
How do I access the Facebook community?
Once you sign up you’ll receive instructions on how to request access to the private Facebook group. If you don’t currently use Facebook, you can create an account without any details or friends and access the group that way.
Do you offer refunds?
We don’t at this time, but you may cancel at anytime and your access will end at the end of the month.
When will my membership renew?
Membership will renew each month on the same date that you joined. So if you join on August 2, it will renew on the 2nd of each month. Cancel anytime!
How is Payment Processed?
Currently payments are processed through a PayPal subscription or a monthly credit card transaction.
