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?

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!

Diet culture has really messed with many women for way too many years. I fell into the trap of believing whatever the latest trends were. And consistently, I didn't feel or look any better.
The ups and downs of the messaging women receive is so confusing and leads many of us to wish we had a different body and could just lose weight.
Today, I am sharing a little from a lifelong journey and the major takeaways I've discovered in the past 2 years. There have been highs and lows and after sharing a bit on Instagram, this episode has long been requested.
My hope is that you can hear your story in mine and decide to make some really positive changes for your physical fitness after listening to this episode. I know it's not my regular content and we'll be back to homeschool topics next week, but I pray this episode blesses you.

Have you ever stressed about your homeschool budget? Or wondered if it was enough to educate your children?
These are completely normal concerns and more of us have these thoughts than we will admit to. To be honest, whether your budget is $100 or $1000, homeschool moms are going to question if it is enough.
But I think that it is a good idea to be conscientious of a budget and use our finances wisely, no matter what the dollar figure is. And today, I offer you a bunch of ideas on how to be a good steward of your homeschool budget and achieve an amazing education for your family.
Grab a pen and paper so you can take a few notes and then brainstorm next steps!

It's not "if" you'll have bad homeschool days, it's "when" you'll have a bad homeschool day.
Unfortunately, it's just a part of life and homeschool is not immune to rough days.
But, it's what you do with that bad that counts...
After experiencing too many bad days, I developed a system to get myself, our family, and our homeschool back on track. It has made a huge difference in our relationships and I know that it will do the same for you too.
Grab a pen and piece of paper to write down the system for when you have a bad day and you'll begin to experience a shift in your bad days.

Boys and girls are naturally quite different. Our culture tries to blur the lines and say otherwise, but homeschool moms experience the difference every single day.
Sure, there is a spectrum of personalities and inclinations, but on the whole, boys have different needs than girls do.
Durenda Wilson is the mother of 8 and grandmother of 11. She is a wife and homeschool mom who shares her experience and encouragement through books and her podcast.
Today, Durenda and I cover some hot topics abour raising boys, from their propensity to discuss "gross" subjects, their activeness, aggressiveness, and how moms can raise them according to Biblical standards.

Apparently this is a hot topic issue nowadays. Who would have thought?
Not me!
Today, I am sharing how my family has lived on a single-income for 20+ years. Sure, it looked different than those with dual incomce. But, we never felt like anything was lacking in our lives. We actually have thrived.
My hope is that sharing how my homeschool family of 5 came into this type of lifestyle and how we've managed to provide for our needs for all these years is an encouragement to you. Whether you are considering living off a single income or already are, we're going to get a little raw and vulnerable.

You've decided that homeschooling is the path for your children's education. Your husband is fully on board. You've researched and researched and found the perfect curriculum.
And day after day, you are met with resistance in the form of your children not completing the work you've so diligently prepared.
You wonder if it's you. Or your kids.
And you assume that you're alone in this scenario. Surely, no one else's child takes forever to do a math worksheet.
After many years of homeschooling and working on countless homeschool families, I have a little hope for you today.
Let's work through this and get to the root cause.
