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!

It's such an exciting time of the year! There are so many amazing homeschool curriculum options out there and it's now time to make some choices.
Let's back up to the fact that there are a lot of options. Which one to choose?
I have a simple step-by-step process that served me well through many years of homeschooling. It kept me on track and focused, as well as giving me the freedom to make decisions that were best for my children.
Are you ready to have a plan as you set put together your ideas for next homeschool year? Grab a pen and paper and write these steps down. And then...have fun!

When you're in the trenches of homeschooling, you wonder if all of this is worth it?
The academics, discipleship, life skills, character building, activities, housework...and on and on. It sure would be nice to have some confirmation that you're on the right track.
Drawing from our 15 years of homeschooling, I'm sharing some major moments that confirmed my family's decision to homeschool. My hope is that you can see these right now in your life and that it gives you the encouragement you need to continue on.

As you near the end of this homeschool year, how are you feeling about it?
One way to help you create a great homeschool is to reflect back upon the year. But, it has to be done honestly. Painting a perfect picture doesn't help you, your children, or your family as a whole.
Today's episode is a guide to help you look upon all that you did and didn't do this year to get a better idea of what will serve your family best in the next homeschool year.
There are a couple of areas to evaluate, so grab a pen and paper so you can take some time after this episode to move forward positively.

Why is it that writing so often brings tears from homeschoolers? And maybe even outright refusal to do a writing assignment.
Today's guest, Julie Bogart, has been helping homeschool families overcome this fear, dread, and even hatred of writing. Her perspective is so refreshing and her advice takes all the anxiety out of the writing process.
You are definitely going to want to listen in and soak up every word that she has to share, so find a quiet spot and take some notes!

Academics is often what brings many families to homeschooling. But then, we realize that so much else is important in our parenting and the home education years.
One topic that keeps coming up lately, even in conversations with my grown children, is the balance between rules and relationship with parents and children. And we can easily default to focusing on one over the other.
But, in raising our children and reading tons of books, along with the guidance in Scripture, James and I have worked hard to find that balance.
Today's episode scratches the surface of this topic and I hope that it is an encouragement for you to lean in to where God is calling you to make adjustments in parenting your homeschool children.

It does not matter the size of your home or the amount of people living within it. The truth is that it is an uphill battle to keep up with everything, especially now that you homeschool your children.
Dana K. White, from A Slob Comes Clean, shares how God worked a struggle in her life to touch the lives of you, I was so concerned about homeschooling high school. It felt like something that was beyond my knowledge set. To be honest, at times it was. But, that didn't mean I couldn't do it.
And the same goes for you!
Whether you currently have a teen or are looking ahead to 1, 3, or 10 years down the road, my goal is that today's conversation equips you to look beyond just schooling, but to really educate your high schooler.
These years of homeschool high school can be some of the most enriching and memory-making years of your child's education. Grab my hand, I promise to show you how you can do it!

We sure do love and feel entitled to our alone time in motherhood, don't we? And listen, I'm right there with you. That was a coveted goal of mine, until...well, you'll get to hear my story.
You may be thinking about homeschooling or feeling like you are missing out on something you should be getting because of homeschool. Both of those camps {and anyone in between} can benefit from the little jolt to the system that this episode will give.
Friend, I'm not holding back in this one because it's important to discuss hard topics like this to gain clarity and freedom in your role as a homeschool mom.
