]]> I’m so sorry, y’all! We’ve completely disappeared recently and I am finally finding time to tell you what’s been going on.

It’s been all about this huge event that Beckie and I have been organizing. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned on the show yet, but I am the new Events Committee Chairperson (a volunteer job) for our local kids science center. So this past Saturday was our Annual Spring EggFest, and we were jam-slammed BUSY last week with all the last minute details. And since last week and the Sunday before, should have been our time to record and get the next episode completed…it didn’t happen since we were in the middle of hell week for EggFest.

I’m happy to say that the event was a huge success! And we had a blast! Still recouping physically…my body tends to hang in there for the event then crash hard once all the adrenaline is gone.

But Beckie and I will start working on the next episode this week…actually we have already started planning it. So stay tuned! We’ll be back on our new biweekly schedule soon!

]]> Tina and Beckie, Savvy Homeschool Moms, episode 1Meet the Savvy Homeschool Moms!  Tina and I are so proud of our first podcast. Recording it was an adventure, and we look forward to sharing it with you, our listeners! Going forward our show notes will include links and contact information for all the resources we share with you. For this first show, the notes were a little more difficult, but here we go!

This show covered why we decided to make this podcast, who we are, and why we homeschool and what to look forward to on future episodes of the Savvy Homeschool Moms Podcast!

We mentioned one of our favorite websites, Khan Academy! An excellent resource not only for math (where it is a LIVESAVER!) but also for other subjects and topics of interest to the homeschool family!

Another link from the show: Secular Homeschool Magazine

Also we talked about where we can be reached on the internet, for your questions, and comments!
