My mission is to equip you in your calling to embrace and then thrive in your homeschool, motherhood, and homemaking.
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!

DESIGN YOUR FAMILY'S UNIQUE HOMESCHOOL THAT YOU'LL LOVE! https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/blueprint
It is so exciting to begin a new homeschool year. The planners, curriculum, art supplies, and so on are shiny and new and the possibilities seem endless.
But, the hurdle is to keep the perspective in mind that whatever you plan, needs to be sustainable. Because when the fun wears off (and it will), have you created a plan that you can continue with throughout the entire homeschool year?
Grab a pen and paper or open the notes in your phone to write down the few ideas that you think will help you create a sustainable homeschool, so that you can carry through with it day in and day out.

Are you looking at your homeschool and wondering if it's actually sustainable? Is anyone learning anything? Is this worth your time? Are you about to burn out?
If you answered yes to even one of those questions, can I introduce you to family style learning in today's episode? It's probably the thing that can pull you out of that overwhelmed and desperate feeling you currently have.
Grab a pen and paper to jot down some notes and then put on your creative hat and have fun with the possibilities that family style learning has for your family!

Your to-do list is jam-packed with all the things and it probably feels like too much at times. How is any one person supposed to get it all done, including all of the laundry, cooking, and cleaning too? Oh and with a good attitude as well, right?
Today's guest, Mystie Winckler of Simply Convivial has been a homeschooling homemaker for over two decades. She has experienced that sane overwhelming feeling and responded in a few different ways until she took into consideration what the Bible says.
She is here to encourage you in this current season of life that you find yourself in with practical advice, wisdom, and peace.
You don't want to miss this one!

Your questions are amazing and I had so much fun answering these. I love delving into a variety of topics and today's episode covers so much.
Even if you don't find yourself in any of these circumstances, I think it really helps us to understand other homeschool moms better when we stop, listen, and place ourselves in their position. We all really are trying to do right by our own family and the best place to find ourselves is cheering one another on!

Do you feel the weight of the world upon your shoulders as a homeschool mom? You are responsible for, not only the physical growth of your children, but now their education and the discipleship of them 24/7.
It's a lot. And you're probably putting even more pressure upon yourself to get it all done and to get it all right. With just enough effort, you can be the best homeschool mom out there. Right?
But, what if the idea of being a super homeschool mom is something we've made up? What would it look like to shatter that notion and to actually just live in reality? Would that be enough?
Let's explore what life could look like on the other side...

Most homeschool moms don't plan to make home education complicated. But, it can easily end up there with all of the input from others and the mile high list of things you want to read, do, learn, and experience with your children.
Planning is one thing that can cause confusion and complication. Your homeschool bestie does it one way, your favorite blogger does something different, and your favorite author has a completely opposite way to plan.
And somewhere in there, the term reverse planning was whispered. Could that help? Maybe. But at the least, I hope today's episode gives you some ideas to uncomplicate your homeschool year so you aren't exhausted and overwhelmed.

Whether you're brand new to homeschooling and just trying to figure things out or you're a seasoned homeschool mom who needs a breath of fresh air for this school year, styles of homeschooling are a great way to get your footing.
Nobody says you have to be a purist. But, you can be if you want to. It really all comes down to what is best for your family...right now. That means your homeschool style could remain the same for all your home education years or you might see fit to change things up every few years.
Let's explore the main homeschool styles in today's episode. This will give you a little taste of each to pique your interest. And before we close out, we'll wade into some "controversy" in the homeschool world that we all have an opinion about.
Grab your homeschool planner or notebook and a pen for this one!

If this is your first of homeschooling: WELCOME! I am so thrilled for your family. Or if you're here for a refresh to make sure you are on the right track for the homeschool year, then, yay! I so appreciate your willingness to learn and be intentional.
As the summer winds down and the official beginning of the homeschool year approaches, it's a great time to get back to the basics. You know, those things that provide a basis to your home education.
I'm going to zero in on 6 categories that I think are important to be clear on so that the homeschool year starts off well. I know you're ready, so go ahead and hit play!

It's that time of the year and I don't want you to be caught off guard. The summer tends to be more relaxed and free and then suddenly, homeschool moms become drill sergeants and expect everyone to fall in line.
Now that is a recipe for disaster...for you and your kids!
Let's talk about how to transition from the summer and the mentality that comes with time off to getting back into the swing of things that doesn't cause a revolt. And if we're honest, moms need this just as much as kids do since you set the tone of the homeschool year.
Grab a pen and paper to write these simple steps down and get started on them soon so you are ready to have the best homeschool year ever!
