The Smiling Homeschooler Podcast

Welcome to the Smiling Homeschooler Podcast!  Todd and Ben are currently on vacation! So we are replaying an older episode, but it is definitely still worth listening to! a couple of years ago we had Todd's son, Sam, on the podcast. He is a 3D animator and has been able to follow his passion as a career. Homeschooling was a big part of how he was able to do that and he shares some of the ways his parents helped fan his dreams.  We also want to thank Teaching Textbooks for all of their support of the Smiling Homeschooler. They are one of the best math curriculums around, and we believe they help more homeschoolers smile. So go check them out at teachingtextbooks.com.    Have a great week and keep smiling!
