How is your marriage doing? No, really. How is it?
We homeschool moms can get so wrapped up in our role as mother and educator that we miss this most important relationship with our husband.
Today, I want to dive into a few reasons why we need to make our marriage a priority and how that directly affects our ability to homeschool well. Let's not lose sight of our marriage and the benefits to our entire family when we are in  a really good place with our husband.

22. A Homeschool Mom’s Honest Review and Reaction to the ”Whose Children Are They?” Movie and How it Affects Homeschoolers

Hey, Friend!
This episode wasn't planned, but I just couldn't shake that I needed to share this movie with you. And so, here's my dive into the "Whose Children Are They Movie?" and my raw reactions to it.
I'll answer questions such as:
*Why would a homeschool mom go to a movie about the public school system?
*What can we learn from this movie?
*How can parents respond to this movie?
and
*What does this mean for homeschoolers?
Let's have an open and honest conversation.

21. The Reason a Homeschool Mom Isn’t Enjoying Each Day and 3 Steps to Changing this Attitude as You Raise Children

Hey, Friend!
Do you struggle with fully enjoying your days? It's so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day mundane tasks that we miss what we GET to do each and every day.
I remember looking in the mirror one day and seeing a grumpy 30-something staring back at me. It was not the face I wanted my children to remember when they looked back on their childhood.
Today, I am sharing the reason why homeschool moms struggle to fully embrace enjoyment of each day. And then 3 steps to turning this around so we look back on this as the good 'ol days.
Get comfy in a cozy chair and grab a tissue as I may {or may not} shed some tears as we tackle this often not spoken about topic.
