424. How To Restart The Second Half Of The Homeschool Year On The Right Foot

Pretty soon, the hustle and bustle of the holiday season will be over and it will be back to reality. You know, that one where you homeschool.
It can be hard to transition into the routine again, especially if you've had a really good Christmas season. Where did you actually leave off? Do you need to do everything that you were doing before? Is there a way to change things up that weren't working?
Let's answer those questions and more as you work to wrap your mind around restarting the second half of the homeschool year. And not only that, let's set you up to do really well!

423. What If My Homeschooler Is The "Bad Kid?"

In some recent Q&A episodes, we've talked about the influence of other children upon your homeschooler and what to do if that is a negative influence. But, what if the negative influence is actually coming from your homeschool child?
You're trying all the things and you are emotionally exhausted parenting one of your children. And all your efforts don't seem to go anywhere.
I know how you feel because I've been there. Drawing on my many years of parenting a strong-willed child, I'm sharing what had the biggest impact upon our homeschooler as my husband and I attempted to steer his heart, mind, and actions in a godly direction.
My hope is that today's episode helps you feel seen and gives you hope!

421. How Lists Help Me Not Lose My Mind As A Homeschool Mom

Oh, the great "should we have a to-do list?" debate. And I'm weighing in on it now after 14 years of homeschooling and 23 years of motherhood.
Let's talk about why lists get a bad rap, how to avoid the traps of them, and then I'm going to share my favorite lists as they help me to remain sane as a homeschool mom.
Grab a pen and paper so you can jot a few notes...you know, a list...and then get ready to dive in a little deeper to create a few lists that will give you back just a little bit of sanity too.

420. 4 Concerns I Have With Modern Motherhood

You may have to buckle in for this one...depending upon how sensitive you are. But, I felt like these concerns needed to be voiced as they make their way into the Christian mom space and the homeschool space.
My generation of mothers has not been perfect, but I always appreciated the voices of women a little ahead of me pointing out some potential mine fields. It may have stung a bit at the time, but if it would help me in my motherhood, I was willing to listen.
That's what I'm hoping you do today: listen. And then pray and evaluate if these concerns are present in your life and if or what needs to be adjusted.
Let's have a quick little heart to heart.

You took the time to research and scour the internet for the best curriculum for your homeschool family. And now, "it's failing you."

This is a common concern when homeschooling, but that doesn't mean it isn't frustrating and a hard place to be. It also does not mean you have to stay in this negative space.

418. Should It Take A Village To Raise A Homeschooler?

Few topics elicit more feelings than the ones surrounding how to raise our children. I think a pretty close second is homeschooling since everyone has an opinion about education.
Let's step into deep water today and combine those two and discuss an often used phrase in our culture. I know you've heard it and have your own thoughts.
"It takes a village to raise a child."
With two adult children and an older teen, I've seen and heard a lot and have had my own experience so I thought we should discuss this subject.
What do you say? Are you ready to talk about if it should take a village to raise a homeschooler?

416. Create A Slow And Good Holiday Season For Your Homeschool Family

Are you craving a return to simpler times this holiday season? I think many of us are after life has just gotten too crazy and busy.
There really is something to slowing down, especially during what can be a hectic time of the year. This slow down can result in a really good holiday season for your homeschool family.
Let's evaluate what you really do want for the next 6 weeks and how to practically go about making it happen.
Grab a hot cup of cocoa, settle in with a cozy blanket, and take a few notes so you can begin to take action on making this holiday season different.

415. Reflecting On 25 Years: These Are The Top Ways I Have Hurt Our Marriage As A Christian Wife

This week marks a significant day for our family. 25 years ago, James and I said, "I do" to each other.
While I believe that our marriages should be kept private, today's episode is about sharing the ways that I have personally sinned and caused harm to our marriage over the years. My hope is that it exposes and names areas that you may be struggling in, but the bigger mission is to encourage you to have a stronger marriage that glorifies God while you homeschool and raise your children.
I am thankful for His grace and mercy in our marriage and for the work of sanctification in my own life.
To God be the glory!
