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!

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.

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."
Or is it?
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.
Let's explore some options that you have right now when that math, science, or writing program just isn't cutting it. I promise that there is a solution!

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?

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.

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!

We've been duped by modern society to think that our children need to be entertained and provided with experiences because regular ordinary days are not enough.
But, when you get to the heart of a child and what childhood should be like, the ordinary really is extraordinary to them.
I know this episode is going to encourage you in the day to day of life as a homeschool mom. Give it a listen and share it with a friend!

Wowzers! There is a lot going on in the homeschool world and I think you will relate so much to the questions in this episode.
And if you have not encountered these scenarios, you probably will. Give it a listen so when, one day, it becomes your reality, you've already thought it through and just then have to carry through.
Thank you for asking vulnerable questions for these Q&A's. I know that your willingness to share your story is helping other homeschool moms.

The holiday season is upon us and as a homeschool mom, you may have a moment (or two...or more) of panic about all the things you feel need to happen these next few weeks.
Today's guest, Lyndsey Mimnaugh, of Treehouse Schoolhouse says that the holiday season can be a powerful time of discipleship with our children. It isn't one more thing to do, but rather THE focus this Christmas season.
She is sharing how to simply tie it all together into your day, as well as how to shift the focus from consumerism and chaos in your home to one of worship and connection instead.
Enjoy a hot cocoa while you listen to this episode!
