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 so easy to get caught up in all the things you think you need to do in your homeschool with young children. Often, that is influenced by what school is doing. But, what if the basics are actually the foundation for the success in future academics?
Jennifer Pepito of The Peaceful Press is sharing what you really need to focus on in today's episode. She's using her extensive experience, along with studies that show what young children really need in their homeschool.
And it's nothing complicated or overwhelming. It really comes down to focusing on the basics and Jennifer will share what those are and how to actually accomplish this.
Grab your favorite cozy drink and be ready for some serious mic drops!

Every day is full of choices on how to spend your time as a homeschool mom. Some lead to positive outcomes. Some to what appears to be benign results. And others don't add anything good to your days.
After all the years of raising babies up through young adults, I know what it's like to want days that overall are just better. I've tried all the things, but mastering specific times in my day has had the biggest impact on our homeschool days.
You'd think that it was the curriculum or the amazing educational resources that you use that determines a day. Yes, those can add good things. But, let me share what will move the needle forward much faster and help you to accomplish those good homeschool goals.
Grab a pen and paper because I have a few things you'll want to jot down!

You've heard that it's a good idea to teach your homeschool children character. And you're convinced that it will be a good use of your time. But, where do you start?
Today's guest, Marilyn Boyer, from Character Concepts has been helping parents instill character traits and qualities into homeschooled children for years. And she has combined that with her love of history and storytelling to help show your children what character looks like through the lives of historical figures.
Marilyn and her husband began homeschooling before it was technically legal and quickly found that success in academics and relationships came from sharing God and the character He desires to grow in us.  Let's do the same in your family!

Calling all homeschool mom's who have been met with resistance when teaching a child writing skills! I know you've got your hand raised on that one. And if you don't, well, maybe give it a little more time. Lol!
But for those of you who have had one too many writing lessons end in tears, I know how you feel. Through my years of homeschooling multiple children, I've encountered many different situations.
Today's episode shares some "secrets" I've learned, along with permission to trust the process and your children more than you think you can. 
I am excited about how these ideas will give new life to your homeschool!

Most of homeschool is done within the confines of our own homes and families. But, it sure feels good to know that you are not alone. And not only that, but you have people who will have your back and are there to support you.
Having homeschool friends and community is such a blessing. It truly can be a gift. And it should be those things and not a burden or unnecessary drama. That's where finding like-minded families is key.
But where are they hiding?
I have a few tips to help you meet and create some beautiful friendships!

Questioning your ability to homeschool probably happens often. Maybe on a weekly basis. Possibly even daily.
You've taken on what is seen as a unique responsibility in our culture. Everyone else just puts their kids on the bus or joins the carpool line and they just assume that their children will be educated properly.
But, homeschooling is different because the entire 360 degree view of life is included and you often wonder if things are going well and if you're on the right track.
I have 3 easy ways to take the temperature of your homeschool. Listen in for these and then measure your own homeschool against it. But, have no fear! There is always a solution to get you on the right track!

If you've heard it once, you've heard it a million times...or close to that number. But, how do we respond within Christian circles to the scrutiny against homeschooling? Is there any evidence to back-up what we're seeing within the four walls of our own homes?
Israel Wayne, of Family Renewal, has been educating home educators for decades. He combines his knowledge of Scripture with the actual data, along with his lived experience to equip homeschool parents to disciple their children. Not only that, but he seeks to provide you with data and evidence to graciously, but confidently refute arguments against homeschooling.
There are two main claims that Christians will often use against homeschooling. He refutes both of those, along with telling us why so many Christian parents refuse to homeschool their children.
This episode will be such an encouragement as you carry out the call God has on your life!
