Little by Little Homeschool - Homeschooling, Motherhood, Homemaking, Education, Family
Homeschool * Home Education * Motherhood * Homemaking * Parenting Do you wish you could feel confident in your homeschool decisions? Are you concerned that you aren’t doing it right? Do you wish you could get answers to all your homeschooling questions? Are you struggling to balance all your roles in this season of life? In this podcast, you will find tactical and realistic solutions to set you free from the concerns and stress of whether you are doing the right things. My mission is to equip you in your calling to embrace and then thrive in your homeschool, motherhood, and homemaking. If you’re ready to get out of survival mode, feel confident, and have peace in your heart and home--you’re in the right place! Hi, I’m Leigh, a kingdom-minded wife and mom. I tried to duct tape my priorities together without the right focus for way too many years. I was busy chasing approval from others, trying to meet perceived external expectations, and flying by the seat of my pants as a homeschool mom. I finally realized that if I was going to fully embrace the life I had, I needed to operate from a place of peace and joy. That’s when I planted my feet firmly where I was and began to create beauty, seek simplicity, and live intentionally. And I’m ready to share this with you! If you are ready to love your life as a homeschool mom and to know for certainty that you are doing the right thing for your children--this podcast is for you! Close up that lesson book, mama, let the kids go play, it’s time for you to thrive! Let’s work together and get your homeschool to the place you just know it can be. We all can get stuck and not know what to do, how to adjust, or if we’re even doing it right. We’ll dive in deep to all the homeschool hot topics and create the homeschool that you and your children will thrive in!

Fear. Is it holding you back from beginning to homeschool? Is it holding you back from really embracing your homeschool? Is it holding you back from doing what is best for your children?
It can do all of those things...and more.
Let's stop giving fear a seat at the table. Acknowledge it, yes. And then, let's flip it on it's head and use it as motivation to create the best homeschool for your kids.
This episode outlines 3 major fear points that homeschool moms experience. But, we're not staying in that fear and I'll share how you can overcome this feeling and those sticking points.
Grab a pen and paper to take a few notes and then take action!

There are so many demands during the homeschooling years and moms can quickly spiral into feeling overwhelmed.
Today's guest, Whitney Newby, of Brighter Day Press is sharing her journey and practical tips so you can use these years to grow in your faith and walk with God. She knows what it feels like to be in the trenches and found that turning towards Scripture and Truth gave her the peace she needed.
Whitney will also be speaking at Little by Little Homeschool Conference this year and we'd love to see you there too!

It's one thing to love our children, but it's another thing to really enjoy being with them.
Unfortunately, it's very common for parents to use the excuse of not wanting to homeschool because they, "Could never be with their kids all day." But, homeschool parents can fall into the trap of thinking they have done a good thing by home educating, but completely miss the connection that is possible.
If you've been frustrated with your homeschool children and want to change your mindset to actually enjoy being with them, you need this episode.

It might feel a million years away, but your homeschooler will eventually complete their home education years.
Are you preparing them now for that time?
I know, it seems silly to bring up that question when your child is only 8 years old. But, I have noticed 3 really amazing characteristics among homeschoolers whose parents were intentional.
Grab that load of laundry that needs folding and listen in so you can keep these characteristics as goals for your years of homeschooling.

One of the benefits of homeschooling is the time and attention we can give to our children. And this goes beyond the curriculum and formal academics. These years are meant to reach the hearts of our children.
Dannah Gresh, of True Girl, has a passion for Jesus and helping moms and daughters connect through the Bible.
In today's episode, Dannah shares her simple method for studing the Bible with your daughter {which can be used with your son's too!}, along with encouraging you on how to be aware of her personal journey of faith.
Pop those ear buds in and be encouraged...and then go check out all that True Girl offers to help you connect with your homeschool daughter!

When in doubt, read. Lol! But, really it's true. Having a rough homeschool day? Read. Need a little quiet time in the day? Read. Want your homeschooler to expand their knowledge and understanding of the world? Read.
I get asked often for specific books, curriculum, and plans and I don't often share those publicly. Today is a little exception.
My 3 homeschooled children became avid readers and it was a highlight for their days. Over the years, they've each read hundreds of books. And today, I'm sharing a few of their favorites.
Grab a pen and paper and copy down this list for summer reading or tuck it away to get started on next homeschool year.

There are a lot of people looking to influence and thus, inspire your homeschool children. From social media platforms to corporations to friends and so on.
But, as homeschool parents, we should be intentional about being the first people to hold influence over our children. And that's easy when they are young and their world revolves around the family and home.
And as our children get older, it's easy to become complacent and just go through the motions and check off the to-do list.
Today's episode is all about whether you inspire your children. I have 3 questions that will get you thinking and hopefully making some intentional choices so that you can continue to inspire your children for the many years to come.

When you become a parent there are suddenly many decisions to be made. And some of those are seen as "controversial" within the culture you are raising your children.
Our 3 homeschooled children are all older now and can see the value in the decisions that my husband and I made. It wasn't always easy at the time to stick with our convictions, but the pay off has been amazing.
My list may be the same as you, slightly different, or completely different. And that is totally fine! The goal is to encourage you to parent intentionally and share what worked for us.

When you look around at other families, it's pretty easy to tell that you all do family a little bit differently. Sometimes, you can't quite put a finger on what that is.
But, today, we're going to explore family culture. You have one. And so does everyone else.
I have a list of questions that are foundational for unpacking your unique family culture. Grab a pen and paper to write these down. Then afterwards, take some time to answer these questions to get to the heart of your family culture.
Your family is essential to your homeschool and when you understand who you are at the core, it makes leaning into your unique homeschool so much easier.

Homeschooling is about way more than school academics. It's creating a relationship that welcomes open dialogue and discussion about anything and everything.
One of those topics should be our bodies and how we can take care of them well. And that includes our pelvic floor.
Today's guest is Jenn Lormand of Tighten Your Tinkler and we are specifically focusing on sharing all about pelvic floor health with your daughter.
Many of us weren't taught about this and had to quickly learn after a health crisis or bothersome symptoms. Our goal in this episode is to equip you with some actionable information so that you can begin to teach your daughter how to be proactive in her health.
As we mention in the beginning of this episode, it is rated G, but you may want to listen with ear buds or when your children aren't around so that you may gather information and dispense it as is appropriate for your family.
