Every once in a while it's fun to switch things up and answer some of your questions on the podcast! Over on Instagram, I encouraged followers to submit questions, and submit they did! In this episode I'm answering questions like, "Was homeschooling always in your plans?" and "Do you ever feel like you are not doing enough?" among many others! MENT…

Many homeschool families begin their journey because they realize, either before sending their kids to school or after their kids are in school, that they don't like certain aspects of the school system. Everyone's journey is different, but many parents stay away from schools because there are things within the school system they do not like or wan…

If you follow lots of homeschooling accounts on social media, it's easy to feel like everyone else has it all together! However, like all social media, we usually are only seeing the "highlight reel" and not a true representation of a person's life. I try to be very authentic and real on social media, but I also value our privacy and don't think it…

For most people, it's the holiday season, but for us, we are in full baby mode with just a few weeks left to go before baby boy (our fourth child) is due! With a major (beautiful, amazing) interruption smack dab in the middle of our school year, I've had to make adjustments to our plans that I made before becoming pregnant. I'm breaking down my rea…

As homeschool parents, it's easy to assume we are already giving our kids tons of quality time because we spend so many more hours with them each day than we would if they went to school outside of the home. But, how often are we spending quality one-on-one time with each of our children unrelated to school with no distractions? Probably not as muc…

However, there are SO many ways to bring the spirit of Christmas into your homeschool and I'm sharing 15 easy ways you can do that in today's episode! MENTIONED I…

Because our homeschool is more of a lifestyle than a place our kids go to learn, and because we are with our children so much, it's so easy for negative moods, hard times, hard current events, illnesses, and so much more negatively impact our homeschool days. As moms, we often are the ones who set the tone of our homes, and when we are unhappy or s…

I recently had a spirited conversation in the comments of an Instagram reel with someone who believed that for most people, homeschooling is just impossible because both parents need to work. I tried to explain that upwards of a third of homeschooling families are 2-parent working families to some degree, but I just couldn't open her eyes. I decide…

What are the riches? Why are they important if most educations today don't include them? And once we deem them important, how do we fit them in on top of everything else?

The new school year is just around the corner so I suppose it’s time to start thinking about what our school rhythm will be!

I’m definitely not at the end of my homeschooling journey – with baby 4 on the way I have another 18 years to go – but I have definitely learned a thing or two (or 20) that I would want to tell myself if I was starting again.

We learned in late May we are expecting baby #4. This was definitely a surprise baby as we had convinced ourselves we were happy with three kids because I get SO sick during pregnancy. Well, God had other plans and now we are having a baby in early January! I’m now 12 weeks when this podcast is released and despite horrible nausea and exhaustion, b…

The reality of homeschooling for an introverted mom, or just being a mom in general, with so many needs, so many sounds, so many behaviors to help regulate, so many emotions, so much touching, and being pulled in a million directions can be EXCRUCIATINGLY HARD on the hardest days if I’m being honest. Needing time alone to recharge as a mom, especia…

Juggling the demands of homeschooling and homemaking (and many time working) can be a real circus act sometimes if I'm being honest! As a former daycare provider who used to watch 10 kids (including my own) 10 hours a day, 5 days a week, I got really good at structuring our days and creating a 2 hour naptime for the kids and a quiet time for me. We…

Homeschooling can be really hard. There, I said it. Sure, it can be magical, it leads to some amazing moments, we get to bond with our kids, we see things we wouldn’t see if they were away from us 7 hours a day. But, it can also be really difficult at times! I have struggled through toddler antics interrupting our lessons, bad attitudes (the kids a…

I’ve apparently struck a chord over on Instagram with what I guess are my controversial views on education. I have some reels skyrocketing in views and comments that I didn’t anticipate and it has led to some – shall we say – lively discussions in the comments. Because I can’t say everything I want to in one IG comment, I thought I would discuss 5 …

There are SO many benefits to homeschooling year round, but for many of us homeschooling moms, we want a BREAK! I am one of those moms, trust me!

I went to an amazing Charlotte Mason homeschool retreat recently and am on such a high from spending my day with a few of my friends in my homeschool “tribe,” surrounded by other like-minded homeschooling moms, learning about how we can be better teachers and mothers to our kids.

I wish I could tell you that your role as a homeschooling mom will protect you from any major hardship, crisis, or tragedy to happen to you, but life happens whether we are homeschooling or not. I went through an extremely traumatic year last year when my dad had a horrific accident that left him unconscious with most of his ribs broken and a terri…

Homeschooling can EASILY become extremely expensive with books, curricula, materials, manipulatives, online resources, extracurriculars, co-ops, etc. But it doesn't HAVE to be! And guess what? Spending more money on your child's education does not equal a better education! So much can be learned with simple resources, lots of books (that can be che…

We are halfway through the school year, so naturally, I’m reflecting on what is working well this year and what I might want to change for next year.

We all have heard countless myths about homeschooling kids and their moms even if we aren’t homeschooling families.

I have heard many myths ab…

Today, I’m sharing 10 different ways a mom can work AND homeschool. Because let’s face it, especially with the economy the way it is, groceries costing almost double what they did a few short years ago, house prices and taxes through the roof, gas prices costing an arm and a leg – we all could use extra money! But many parents who desire to homesch…
