What does it actually look like to homeschool five kids across wildly different ages — while running a business, managing a rambunctious toddler, and doing it all on one income?
This week I'm joined by Amanda, a homeschool mom of five from St. Augustine, Florida. Amanda started homeschooling when her family left Germany in 2020 — one week before the world shut down. What felt like a leap of faith turned out to be the best thing she ever did.
We talk about: → Why Amanda and her husband felt called to homeschool even before COVID → What it's really like managing school with multiple ages under one roof (spoiler: it's not always pretty) → How Florida's PEP Scholarship is a total game-changer for families homeschooling on one income → The year-round model that actually relieved her stress → How she built Giplings — her small business inspired entirely by her homeschool journey → The car conversations, the lizard hunts, and the little moments that are the real education
Whether you're just starting out or years in, Amanda's honesty about the chaos — and why she wouldn't trade it — will leave you feeling seen.
