Every month, we welcome a member of the homeschool community to our live DITL Family Spotlight Event.

We love to chat with members of the homeschool community (and often members of our NBL community) about their homeschool journeys.

These are live events and replays of all past NBL events are available in the NBL Resource Library. Our NBL Premium members (annual subscribers) also have access to The NBL Playlist, a private podcast where all past NBL events are available in their favorite podcast app.
