Hey, Friend!
Crazy rushed homeschool mornings. You know exactly what that looks like. And even moreso how it makes you feel.
What if there was one simple solution that you could start implementing now that will help end the frantic feeling you have each morning. Let’s cut out the stress and those bad mom moments you regret.
After all my years of motherhood, this is one thing I rarely skip doing because I have found that it works. And if something is giving me peace and a calm home in the morning, you better believe that I’ll keep doing it.
I want the same for you. Grab that pen and paper to take some notes, give this a listen, and then start coming up with your plan! I’m excited for you to reclaim your mornings.

Hey, Friend!
We’re comin’ in hot with this one today, but it just needs to be openly talked about. Why? Because once you know this, you’ll have the starting knowledge to decide what to do with this information.
For far too long, we haven’t had these types of conversations and we should because it greatly affects your homeschool and therefore your child’s future.
I encourage you to sit down with your favorite cup of tea, coffee, or smoothie and just soak it in. Listen a second time if you want to take notes. But then, mull over this huge adjustment that only you, the homeschool mom, can make.
And then, get up and begin to make the changes that your future self and your grown children will thank you for.

Today, I am going to share a 5 step plan to break the hold your phone has on you and your homeschool. I'm so glad you are here and am excited to walk you through this plan that will change your focus and redeem your homeschool days.

Hey, Friend!
The question of sleepovers is one that you will inevitably be faced with. And nowadays, it starts younger and younger and the pressure is even greater.
But you homeschool and are used to going against the grain and wonder how your family should approach the question of whether your children participate in sleepovers. Is it okay to say no? Can any good come from saying yes? Is there a middle ground?
Let’s tread into this territory and have an open conversation and no longer bury our heads in the sand. We are responsible for protecting our children and need to make intentional and well-informed decisions. The goal is to help you with these things so that you feel good about your decision.
