28. Why Parents Shouldn’t Focus on the Best Homeschool Program for a Child and What You Should Do Instead

Hey, Friend!
Let's dig into a hard topic today and why parents shouldn't focus on finding the best homeschool program for their child. Why do we make this a thing? And what should we focus on instead?
Are you ready for some hard-hitting truths and questions? I hope so because hard isn't something we should shy away from. Let's do the hard work because it gets us to the place of reaching the goals we have for our family.

25. How Your Marriage Affects Your Ability to Homeschool Well and Why Making It a Priority Matters to Your Family and Parenting

Hey, Friend!
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.

23. How to Keep From Falling Behind in Kindergarten and What a Homeschool Mom’s Attitude Should Be When Choosing Curriculum

Hey, Friend!
Whether your child is in kindergarten or any grade level, how do we, as homeschool moms, know whether we are doing "enough?" And how do we choose curriculum: by grade level or the level they are at?
Today is a quick dive into this, along with a few golden nuggets that will help refocus our attitude about "doing enough" and "staying on track."
I am super excited about the tips from this episode that have the potential to reshape your homeschool.

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.
