Curriculum Webinars

We are excited to announce that as part of our themed curriculum weeks this summer, our families will have the opportunity to learn more about some popular curriculum options directly from the vendors! Check back weekly as we add more webinars and instructions on how to sign up to attend!

Top Picks

During the summer, we will be sharing some of our favorite tools and homeschooling advice that we shared with you over the 2019-2020 school year! They are listed below.

Homeschooling Advice

Why You Don’t Have to be Both Parent and Teacher in Your Homeschool

Why You Don’t Have to be Both Parent and Teacher in Your Homeschool

"Have you considered homeschooling, but you aren’t sure how you can be both the parent and the teacher to your children? Are you a new homeschooler who is wondering why your kids won’t listen?


It’s a common question. Homeschooling parents want to know how they can be their child’s teacher while also being mom or dad.


But here’s the fact that homeschoolers don’t always tell you: You can’t be both parent and teacher in your homeschool. No, it’s not because it’s impossible to teach your children. It’s because the two never were separate, mutually exclusive roles.


Parents Are Already Teachers


Children are born to parents that guide and teach. I’m sure you never considered needing a walking instructor to teach your child to take his first steps. You probably didn’t need a health teacher to tell your children to brush their teeth or look both ways before crossing the street.

You did these things because teaching is a central role of parenting."

Educational Tools

The Past & The Curious

Mick Sullivan created The Past and The Curious in 2016 and it is a work of love. Since then, friends have joined the fun and we create it in between family, work, gigs and the many other commitments we’ve all got in our lives. We really think people will find value and joy in what we do, and no one else is doing something quite like it – so we create.

Maybe someday The Past and The Curious will help us earn a living, instead of costing us our discretionary income. But more importantly, maybe you will enjoy it and share that excitement about the past with others.


Here’s our mission statement, if you’re into that kind of stuff:

History is amazing. The stories from our collective past have the power to transform people today.

It is our goal to share true stories of inspiration, humor, and the incredible achievements of all types of people, many of which are sadly under-shared, and to do so in an easily accessible and diverse manner.
Through bite-sized audio-based stories, music, a website, and illustrated children’s books, we aim to spark the curiosity of children, parents, teachers, and anyone else who loves a great story and has an interest, of any size, in the past.

We hope our audience discovers – or rediscovers – that we are all human; and we always have been.

I have three children who are 3, 7 and 9 years old, and I was previously a high school math teacher. Five years ago, our family chose the path of homeschooling and we have enjoyed it ever since! I am passionate about helping families navigate their way on their exciting homeschooling journey, and connecting individuals to build a community!

I am a mom of four children, ranging in ages from 2 to 9 years old, and have homeschooled for the past five years. I consider my homeschooling style to be “eclectic” as I draw from many sources and philosophies. I enjoy planning and hosting activities and events and look forward to interacting with and supporting homeschooling families!
