Cassie says itβs National Chocolate Chip Cookie day!!! πͺπͺπͺπͺπͺ
Fun fact about Willow, when she got married and became a wife one of her first big challenges for herself was to create the best chocolate chip cookie recipe ever! She tried tons and tons of recipes and baked many cookies of which her family loves to eat! πͺπͺπͺπͺ
After experiencing cookie baking so much she finally created her very own recipe.
Of course, she loves chewy ones, so itβs not a crunchy recipe, although it can be if you cook them longer. But now, she makes them for her neices and nephews almost every week, too!
She calls it, βThe Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe Everβ!!! Named after her self-directed quest! π
Sheβd tell you from the requests, sheβs actually pretty famous for π them in her little circles of the world.
UNSOCIALIZED β οΈβ οΈβ οΈ HOMESCHOOLERS!
Oh boy, is this ever a concern by those outside of the realm of homeschool!!
But!!! In this weekβs episode of the Giggle Culture Poscast, we share with you how this one objection is actually an ongoing inside joke to homeschool families. π
Not only is it not true, but we actually have been selling merch about it for years! ππ Get your own t-shirt, coffee mug or bumper sticker! π
If you are nervous of this or have well-meaning family and friends trying to say this is a good reason not to homeschool, you need to check out this episode. It will encourage you to stay strong in your decision! πͺπΌ
Cassie & Willow share the progression and story of their own social homeschooling journey with you.
They will give you practical tips and strategies for making the homeschooling option the best choice ever for your family! π

Season 2 Episode 5
As part of our way of raising kiddos in the , we love allowing our kids to have a say in all the things we are pursuing as a whole, as well as their own interests.
One of our current interests together is bee π preservation and support. My husband just rescued a recent swarm that broke off of one of our Land community hives and we have given them a new home to thrive in.
β‘οΈ Now Llyonesse, is adding a little color to one of the hives for fun with her creativity to bring some extra beauty to the experience, but not harm the little creatures. π₯°
When childrenβs ideas and interests are honored in a family, they begin to really take off in all kinds of creative ways and add so much depth and self-driven goals to the scene.
Itβs truly an amazing thing to behold!
In this pic, you can even see the jar shelves our youngest son designed and built to help create a nice place to store them in our yurt.
So many creative things our children want to add.
π‘ Are there areas that your kids would like to be involved, but maybe our culture hasnβt encouraged?
Check out this weekβs episode to hear more about teens thriving and expanding and loving to be a part of the tribe! β€οΈπ₯°
