Today's guest, Meg Thomas, of Called to Homeschool is here to share with you just what you should do when homeschool feels hard. And how about those days you think that you're going to lose your mind? Well, she's got something to say about that too.
Grab that load of laundry that needs folded and let the kids play a little longer and listen in on this conversation!

When you were little and thought about what you wanted "to be" when you grew up, homeschool mom probably wasn't top of the list. Or maybe not even on the list!
But, here you are: a homeschool mom. Not only are you responsible for all the regular motherhood duties, now you've got education on your to-do list.
I totally get it. It was never a part of my plan. And yet, here I am, a homeschool mom who wouldn't trade this role for anything.
And I want you to come that very same conclusion. Today's episode will draw on my own personal journey in hopes that it will help you to embrace the homeschool lifestyle.

You're probably totally on board with your homeschool not needing to resemble a public school schedule. But, you have curriculum, goals, and great ideas that you want to make sure you actually get to.
Do you need to buy a planner? Get super organized with a calendar? Write out detailed plans? Wing it every day?
Well, it really depends.
I'm sharing five options with you today. Take a few notes and then think about what you've learned and decide what will serve your family best this homeschool year.

Every day as a homeschool mom can be full with the regular to-do list, home education, activities, experiences, meeting personal goals, and so on and so on. This requires you to be fully present and on for all that is happening in your day.
But, with a full day and many needs to meet, it can easily and quickly deplete even the most energetic homeschool mom.
To be honest, I failed in this area of having enough energy each (or most) days for too many years. I didn't know what I know now. If I could go back, I would definitely want a do-over in this area because I can see how not having enough energy led to me being tired and grumpy.
Today's episode is all about 6 ways you can re-claim your energy and feel ready to take on the homeschool day!

We don't have to homeschool alone. Yes, it's just mom doing the day in and day out of mothering and home educating the children.
But we can learn so much from each other. None of us will homeschool exactly the same way, but some of the best things happened in my homeschool when I learned from other moms.
Today's guest, Katie Hedrick from Joy at Home podcast is truly an encouragement to mothers. She and her husband felt the call to homeschool and made that big adjustment in their lives a few years ago. Now, she is homeschooling three children in all three of the different education age ranges and she has so much to share with you.
Pull up a seat at the table as we have a fun conversation!

What if homeschool is also about learning how to navigate the world? I think many families are starting to realize this.
Sure, there is much to gain from curriculum, but kids are so open to learning and we can open the world to them by being intentional about teaching them life skills.
Most of us went to school and our days were filled up for all of those formative years. And then, poof...we were expected to navigate the real world. I remember feeling lost in so many areas because I hadn't been fully prepared for life out on my own.
But, as homeschool parents, we can use these years and the time we have with our children at home to teach them the ins and outs of of life.
I've got a jam-packed episode for you today. Grab a pen and paper and get ready to take some quick notes!

Normally, I keep my opinions about most homeschool topics to myself because we all need to come to our own conclusions. We each need to do what is best for our child, knowing there is no right or wrong way to homeschool, as long as each family is being true to their vision and goals.
But now that we've been chatting here on the podcast for over 2 years, I thought a little candid breakdown of my thoughts on a few "controversial" homeschool topics would be fun. Remember, we're all friends here and this is purely my take on things. You can have a completely opposite opinion and we can both still homeschool and be friends.
Are you ready to add a little spice? Well, it's all right here in this episode!

As a homeschool mom, it can often feel intimidating to hear the jargon of the academic world. It can make you feel like you don't know enough to home educate your child.
I felt that same way too. And it's my goal in today's episode to give you clear explanations for skill and content subjects. Then, we'll talk more in-depth on what this looks like in your homeschool family.
Why does this matter? Because I know that your confidence will build when you begin to learn the terms and definitions that you'll hear tossed around within educational circles. But, more than that: once you know the information in today's episode, you'll have the freedom to homeschool with so much more joy.

So much about homeschool has to do with our children. And rightly so. But, did you know that when homeschool parents have the right perspective, it trickles down to their children? And then homeschool becomes more enjoyable for the entire family!
One of the major sticking points for moms and dads is the relearning of what education really can be. We have years of indoctrination and conditioning to work through. But, today's episode is going to give you the place to start...along with where to continue to circle back to when you get off track.
Let's learn together how to deschool so you can create an amazing homeschool!

24 hours in a day, 7 days a week for 365 days a year and that is a lot of time to fill up, but also not a lot of time as a homeschool mom.
The home education of your children is a priority, but how can that fit into a family's daily life? And how does it become a center block to the day?
If we fail to plan, we plan to fail. And this is so true for homeschool. Without a plan, you simply could easily neglect and forget about your educational goals and curriculum. You've taken the time to evaluate and be purposeful in your purchases, so how do you fit it all in?
Let's tackle the subject of setting up your homeschool schedule. There are many things to consider and you'll unpack what will serve your family best in today's episode.

It's well known how important reading is for your homeschool children. But, as a parent, you know that each of your children is different and an individual, which comes with challenges as you home educate.
You really want them to learn to read well and enjoy reading so that they continue with it beyond their homeschooling years. But, there is also the question of what to read, when to read it, and how to go about getting better with reading comprehension.
Today's guest, Jamie Erickson, of The Unlikely Homeschool will help you answer all of those questions...and more! She's been homeschooling her 5 children and currently has 2 graduates, along with an informative blog and amazing books.

From the outside looking in, most people {homeschoolers included}, look at just the academics and measure success by that standard. But, really, homeschooling is an entire lifestyle. Every part of your life can be knit together with the home education of your children.
Sure, homeschoolers can go to college, be entrepreneurs, get great jobs, achieve levels of success. But what if, at the same time, there were lifelong benefits to these years at home with parents?
I know there are. And today, I'm going to share 15 benefits that you might not have thought about. Whether you're about to start homeschooling for the very first time and need a confirmation to your decision or if you've been at this for a while and need a reminder {or redirection}, may this episode get you excited about the homeschool year!

And I'm sharing 5 tips to help you grow in your patience so that you and your children can see the benefits!

Do you ever wonder if your homeschool kids are going to turn out okay? You're on the "road less traveled," so it's easy to wonder what the outcome will be.
Monica Swanson had a similar thought when she began homeschooling her boys. And now, she's graduated 3 from high school and is enjoying continuing the journey with her 13 year old.
From all the years of homeschooling, she has grace and wisdom to encourage the next generation of homeschool moms: that's you! She didn't step into this decision with all the answers, but through the ups and downs, she found her way and wants you to do that as well.
Join me in this encouraging conversation that will help you to figure out your priorities in homeschooling your children.
