  • Spoiler alert: homeschool is not always sunshine, roses, and happy-happy. There are going to be ups and downs. And one of those happens when your homeschooler struggles in their studies. This could be one subject, a few subjects, or homeschool in general.

    What's a homeschool mom to do? Hunker down and push through? Give up? Find a corner to cry in?

    It's probably not a good idea to do any of those. And I've got some ideas for you in today's episode. Let's get you out of this unmotivated season and find your homeschool better on the other side.

  • Do you feel like you're a stick in the mud and lean towards being legalistically organized?

    Maybe the other end of the spectrum appeals to you and you're worried that your fly by the seat of your pants isn't enough for your homeschool.

    Quite possibly, you find yourself somewhere between those polar opposites. And your desire is to have your homeschool organized enough, but enjoy the opportunity to be flexibile since you decide the schedule.

    Let's talk about finding that balance you really want as a homeschool mom because when you feel good about homeschool, everyone benefits!

  • No one starts something with the intention of quitting. And that especially applies towards parents making decisions about their children. Of course, homeschooling is included in that!

    So, if no one plans to quit, why are there numbers of families doing just that? Could your family be next?

    Over the past decade, I've observed a few trends and one of them is the when, who, and why behind walking away from homeschooling. I thought that this should be brought to light and openly discussed so that you can combat this possibility on a personal level.

    Let's break it down and see what exactly leads to quitting, but then I've got hope for you to stay the course...I promise not to leave you hanging with bad news!

    And that means you can focus not only on academics, but on building their character too. Which means that to do that, it needs to be a focus for your daily lessons.

    With all the years of homeschooling and launching two of my children into the world, I have zero regrets of the time we focus on character training. And some days, it was the main goal for the day because it mattered more than the geography lesson.

    Grab a pen and paper and get ready to analyze your goals after this episode!

    And there is only one of you! {Or two if you count Dad.}

    How in the world are you supposed to teach one child to read, the other how to write a paragraph, and another mathematical order of operations? And at the very same time!

    I've got you. This was me for many years of homeschooling. But, I found some tips that helped me to actually accomplish our goals and keep my sanity too.

    And maybe part of you is praying that your children will grow up to be parents who want to homeschool their children...your grandchildren!

    Today's guest, Kirsten Vossler, from Rejoicing in Motherhood podcast is going to give you a glimpse into what that looks like. Kirsten's parents homeschooled her and the impact it made on her life is still rippling.

    As if that topic wasn't enough, Kirsten shares how she and her husband focus on discipleship in their home, along with the practicality of homeschooling with babies and toddlers in our arms.

    But, if you've ever asked a homeschooler this question, some of them freeze like a deer in headlights. Others may slowly give a reply. Either way, it isn't a super prevalent question in the homeschool world.

    What does this mean for the homeschool mom though? Today's episode is going to walk you through the meaning behind grade levels and give you lots of ideas on how to approach this with your homeschooled children.

    You're in luck! I've got that very thing for you in today's episode.

  • 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!
