Taking an out-of-the-box approach to homeschooling out-of-the-box kids makes so much sense, especially in the day-to-day realities of homeschooling.
Real Moms, Real Life Homeschooling
Cait is joined by Donnesa, a homeschooling mom and founding member of Never Board Learning. She shares a glimpse into her average day of parenting and learning at home. This episode is a sneak peek into what Never Board Learning Members have access to every single month!
THE HOMESCHOOL SISTERS PODCAST WELCOMES Donnesa

Donnesa is a self-described nerdy homeschool mom of two amazing young men. She has homeschooled both of her sons from the beginning.
During their journey, there have been learning challenges mixed in with plenty of ‘Aha!’ moments and the occasional bout of uncontrollable laughter. Their homeschool is a faith-based, student-led, eclectic style that includes getting engulfed in incredible books, playing and creating games, going for family walks, and exploring what the outdoors has to offer.
You can connect with Donnesa on Instagram.

NEVER BOARD LEARNING
Find the connection you crave to cultivate the homeschool that is in your heart.
One thing I’ve learned in our 9+ (!!!) years of homeschooling is that homeschooling shouldn’t look anything like the public school of your past. I created NBL to be a safe space for creative parents and educators to authentically connect, share ideas, and support each other as they raise their wildly and wonderfully unique children and teens.

I’d love for you to step outside of that ol’ proverbial box and join the fun! Right now, download a free copy of our monthly playbook!
Our members love our NBL Playbooks! These ebooks keep your children and teens busy and learning all month long.
