  • 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.

    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!

    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.

  • 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!

    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.

    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.
