17. How Should Homeschoolers Respond to New Proposed Homeschool State Laws? Steps Every Homeschool Family Should Take

Hey, Friend!
Today's question is a loaded one and I am totally here for it! 
Are you aware of your state's homeschool laws and proposed new legislation? If not, you need to be!
Those who have been in the trenches with homeschooling for a while have seen this coming and it might be about time to start sounding the alarms. There are some very tactical steps that you can take to ensure your freedom to homeschool continues for yourself and future generations.
I'm going to dive into these practical steps we can {and should} all be taking to keep on the offense...and what to do if defense is where your state is at right now. 
Grab a pen and paper and prepare to be inspired on what to do next as we protect homeschooling.

16. How to Live in Contentment in the Winter as a Stay at Home Homeschooling Mom and Why It Matters

Hey, Friend!
Are you feeling the winter blahs right about now? Does it seem like this season will never end?
I totally get it and I used to experience feelings of negativity during the winter months. Until...I accepted 3 shifts I had to make in my mind about this time of the year. Ever since then, there has been a strong feeling of contentment that I never experienced before. 
Today, I am sharing with you those 3 "tricks" so that you can embrace this time of the year too.
There is a deep and meaningful reason to seek this contentment and I am excited for you to go from winter blahs to seeing the joy in this time.
And guess what? These 3 mindset shifts can apply beyond the winter season and into any season, whether it has to do with the weather or a season in life.
Let's find contentment and the joy that follows!

12. Common Core Math and Should You Be Doing It? A Quick Dive Into the Public School System, Reason for Common Core, and What it Means to Homeschoolers

Hey, Friend!
We've all heard of common core...but should you be doing it as a homeschooler?
I'm answering this question today with a little dive into the history and goal of common core. But let's also discuss how to approach teaching a subject, like math, when it's not a subject you feel strong in.
Let's cut to the chase and get you feeling more confident in your discussion about using common core in your homeschool.
♥ Leigh
 
I will link to a few resources below to get you started.  Understand that I am not coming at this from a political point of view and my views are not necessarily reflected in these links. I am purely concerned for the ultimate reason behind common core and more importantly, for our children and for us to make fully-informed decisions.
