259. The Different Types of Homeschool Moms: Which One Are You?

Let's have a little fun today! It's always super interesting to observe the different types of homeschool moms, so I thought you may want to take a peek at this too.
As women, we should be growing in many areas of our life and often our personality shifts as well too. And this directly affects how we homeschool, as well as what our motherhood looks like.
In today's episode, we'll take a peek into a few main types of homeschool moms and weigh some pros and cons. Enjoy this topic and have fun figuring out which type you are!

257. I Am So Strict. How Do I Loosen Up With My Homeschooled Children?

You swore that you would be the fun homeschool mom. But, then, the day in and day out struggles began and just won't let up. And you've caught yourself way too often saying and acting in a way that makes you wonder if you're pushing your kids away.
Your vision and goals for how you raise your children are admirable, but is the process of doing that sucking the joy {and maybe the life} out of you? Do you find yourself wondering if you're too strict?
I'll be the first to admit that I definitely fell into this category. My intentions were good, but my weariness got the best of me.
Let's find the balance between intentionality and teaching our children with the ability to loosen up a bit and enjoy these years too.
I promise that this is a no judgment zone, so listen in and get ready to break the cycle from here on out!

In the homeschool world, it's so easy to get caught up in "shiny object syndrome." There is always something new and exciting. This could include curriculum, styles of homeschool, books, resources, and the list goes on and on.
And all of those things can have their place. But, what is more important is to stay focused on your long-range vision for these years of home educating your children.
Nicki Truesdell joins the podcast today to get the focus back on what really matters in homeschool. She is known on social media for sharing truth and encouragement that helps parents decide to homeschool, as well as to stay the course and continue homeschooling.

Homeschool parents jump into homeschooling with high hopes and expectations and an "ignorance is bliss" mentality. And there is nothing wrong with that. That was totally me.
But, along the way, as the years go by, we grow in knowledge and experience about how to home educate.
Today's episode is me pulling back the curtain and showing you some of the things that I wish I had done differently. Yes, our missteps grow us into the homeschool mom we need to be. But, these are the 10 things I wish someone had shared with me when I began researching homeschool over 13 years ago. If I had known about these things much earlier, I would have become a more confident and enjoyable homeschool mom sooner.

There are definitely some homeschool years that are more difficult than others. But, as a whole, most should be pretty good years of home educating your children.
The problem is when moms expect a year to be amazing, but don't put in the necessary time for it to be amazing. It doesn't matter what your style of homeschool, if you aren't intentional, you're missing out.
And I most certainly don't want you to miss out on some really great years with your children. So, join me today to find out how to stop wishing for an amazing homeschool year and actually make the year amazing!

As a homeschool mom, you've got a ton of decisions to make every single day. And those range from what to make for dinner, what subjects you'll cover, to what you're even going to wear that day...or if you even have time to get dressed.
Each decision can be reactive and made in a fly by the seat of your pants manner or you can choose intentionality. But what does that look like in your motherhood, homeschool, and homemaking?
It took me some years of getting it wrong to find what I base every decision upon now. And let me tell you: this works perfectly every single time.
Don't delay..."steal" my system and see for yourself!

You're probably like me in that you attended public or private school and when your years were done with...whether that was after high school or college...you were just done with what you called education.
But now, you're starting to see that what you were really burned out with was schooling. Your heart wants to turn the tide with your children and now that you have a love of learning, you want them to value education as well.
This is such a worthy pursuit since God created an amazing world and gave us the awe and wonder of it that will drive us to seek to understand Him and His creation more and more each day. Let's teach our children how to do this!
