Being able to speak and understand Spanish has been a family goal of ours since our first trip to Baja California, Mexico two years ago. We had tried a couple other online homeschool platforms, but many of these were in group learning sessions, or didn’t progress rapidly enough for our little learners.

Not that big of a deal... unless you're planning to travel up and down the state (and possibly in and out) for the next year (or two).
Our Great Big Adventure!
Before we get into it... I can’t believe I’m actually publishing this blog post! It feels like we're sharing the biggest secret with all of you. Things are getting REAL. I hope you enjoy the news as much as we do. Our family is so excited for this next phase of our life together, and we can’t wait for the freedom it brings with it.
