Nine years in, Maegan and Kris are still figuring it out in real time. Marriage, parenting, homeschooling, and how to keep a family moving when life gets wildly full. If you’re a homeschool parent, a busy couple, or just someone trying to hold onto routines while everything else changes, this one is for you. Maegan and Kris talk through their anniversary camping trip, the chaos of school starting back up, and the recent move that brought Kris’ dad to Bismarck. You’ll hear how their homeschooling approach is evolving after three years of trial, error, and adjustment. Maegan breaks down the specific changes making the biggest difference this year: 20-minute learning blocks, visible timers, built-in movement breaks, a consistent daily flow, and a more intentional focus on spelling, handwriting, copy work, and more. This episode is an unscripted look at the tension between flexibility and consistency, academic confidence and self-doubt, and why both parents feel so strongly about raising capable, independent adults. They also get into the practical life skills that matter more than people think like cooking, money math, problem-solving, and communication. Maegan and Kris are the hosts of *She Talks He Nods*, where marriage, motherhood, homeschooling, and everyday life collide with honesty and humor. Perfect for anyone who loves real family talk, homeschool insight, and the kind of marriage conversation that feels like you’re sitting at the kitchen table with two people who tell the truth.
