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.

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.
"Crimes of the Educators" book https://rstyle.me/+Hghk8bFwuSTDgMlcvSTqzw
25 minute YouTube video with overview of common core {There is a lot more info out there, including videos. This is just one of many.}. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbo3zTp99K4
