The path to homeschooling for each of us comes out of our unique circumstances—often as a sense of calling from God to do that “something greater” for our children. And often, contrary to our original plans! Today, you’re in for a treat as we welcome homeschooling mom Kaitlin Zara to talk about how she became The Unexpected Homeschooler.

Kaitlin would love to hear from you! She can be reached at: Kaitlinzara@gmail.com
