000-Introduction: Welcome to Toolbox for Learning

Welcome to Toolbox for Learning Podcast first episode. In this podcast Chaz and Christie will be introducing themselves and explaining why they decided to produce this show and what they hope you will get from listening to the podcast.

Christie discovered homeschooling when she was 14 years old and immediately knew it was what she wanted. In college she met her husband, who wholeheartedly supported her homeschooling dream. It was not until after her first son was born that she realized he didn't understand what homeschooling was. 

Christie homeschooled her three boys, including Chaz, from birth through high school graduation. In this podcast she will be sharing what it was like to send her oldest off to college and the realization that college professors were now in a position to evaluate her abilities as a homeschool mom.

Also in this show, Chaz will be sharing what it was like to be "mom's guinea pig" during his year as a homeschooler. He will also be sharing with you about his college years and career as a certified public accountant. Finally, he will be sharing with you what he gained from his homeschooling years and the influence he feels it has had on his adult life. 

We look forward to sharing our homeschooling experience with you and hope that it will be an encouragement and help for you in your homeschool adventure!
