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!

Why is it that writing so often brings tears from homeschoolers? And maybe even outright refusal to do a writing assignment.
Today's guest, Julie Bogart, has been helping homeschool families overcome this fear, dread, and even hatred of writing. Her perspective is so refreshing and her advice takes all the anxiety out of the writing process.
You are definitely going to want to listen in and soak up every word that she has to share, so find a quiet spot and take some notes!

Academics is often what brings many families to homeschooling. But then, we realize that so much else is important in our parenting and the home education years.
One topic that keeps coming up lately, even in conversations with my grown children, is the balance between rules and relationship with parents and children. And we can easily default to focusing on one over the other.
But, in raising our children and reading tons of books, along with the guidance in Scripture, James and I have worked hard to find that balance.
Today's episode scratches the surface of this topic and I hope that it is an encouragement for you to lean in to where God is calling you to make adjustments in parenting your homeschool children.

It does not matter the size of your home or the amount of people living within it. The truth is that it is an uphill battle to keep up with everything, especially now that you homeschool your children.
Dana K. White, from A Slob Comes Clean, shares how God worked a struggle in her life to touch the lives of you, I was so concerned about homeschooling high school. It felt like something that was beyond my knowledge set. To be honest, at times it was. But, that didn't mean I couldn't do it.
And the same goes for you!
Whether you currently have a teen or are looking ahead to 1, 3, or 10 years down the road, my goal is that today's conversation equips you to look beyond just schooling, but to really educate your high schooler.
These years of homeschool high school can be some of the most enriching and memory-making years of your child's education. Grab my hand, I promise to show you how you can do it!

We sure do love and feel entitled to our alone time in motherhood, don't we? And listen, I'm right there with you. That was a coveted goal of mine, until...well, you'll get to hear my story.
You may be thinking about homeschooling or feeling like you are missing out on something you should be getting because of homeschool. Both of those camps {and anyone in between} can benefit from the little jolt to the system that this episode will give.
Friend, I'm not holding back in this one because it's important to discuss hard topics like this to gain clarity and freedom in your role as a homeschool mom.

"Hey, Mom! What's for dinner?"
Did you just cringe with that question? I know that I used to.
There are so many decisions that you need to make every single day and what's for dinner...breakfast, lunch, or snacks...isn't something you should need to decide each day.
There is a better way! And that is meal planning.
Don't let anyone make you feel bad about planning ahead. It actually creates order and predictability in your home. And everyone can thrive better with a routine in place.
Let's be the ones to put an amazing system in place that works with your family!

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!
