experience the world with
"Postcards from the road"
a monthly homeschool supplement
You are a homeschool parent who wants to take the learning beyond the workbooks, journals and computer screens.
You chose this lifestyle because you wanted to raise children who love learning and freely integrate their knowledge with life experiences creating a rich worldview.
Yet, you feel trapped by the busyness of real life; limited by PTO, finances or time commitments. You are not able to get your kids out on the epic adventures and into the beautiful world that surrounds us.
Imagine being able to explore the world vicariously, making connections, having deep conversations and learning through experience right from your own home.

Who are we?
Hi friends! Welcome to our little corner of the internet.
We are the Donaldsons. Justin is a landscape painter and art educator and I, Meredith am a homeschool mom, household manager and trip planner extraordinaire.
In July of 2024, we sold our homestead, bought an RV and began our great American adventure. We have traveled to 36 states so far and plan to see the rest of the continental 48 in 2026!
We love beautiful landscapes, national parks and museums of all kinds. I love the way the places we visit help our children connect the dots with history, geography, culture, art and science.
I know that not all families have the freedom to travel the way we do; yet I believe that all children can benefit from connecting book learn to real life. I started Postcards from the Road to offer stationary families a chance to make connections and experience the places that inspire wonder in my children.
I hope you will join us on the adventure, and if we can inspire you to plan your next trip- that would be all the better!

You will be charged upon ordering, and by purchasing you also authorize a recurring charge of the price of the subscription (plus a $2 shipping fee for international orders) each month unless you cancel your subscription.

When will I receive my print?
Prints will be shipped out from our location on the road between the 21st and 24th via the postal service. The day you receive your print will depend on your exact geographic location.

Can I order from outside the United States?
Yes, but there is a $2 shipping charge due to increased postage.
