Preparing for Your Homeschool Year (Even If You Don’t Feel Ready) 🌿 With faith, flexibility, and a whole lot of grace

Feeling behind before the homeschool year even starts? You’re not alone, friend. Whether your books haven’t arrived, your plans feel scattered, or your confidence is shaky—this episode is a gentle hug and a deep breath for your homeschool mama heart.

In today’s episode, I share some of our messiest first days, the years we started late (or not at all), and how God lovingly led me to lay down my hustle and invite Him into the planning. It’s not about perfect charts and tidy shelves—it’s about connection, flexibility, and faith.

We’ll chat about what it looks like to:

  • Let go of the pressure to do it all
  • Pray over your year and ask God for vision
  • Start simple, create rhythms, and make space for grace
  • Trust that God equips the called—even when we don’t feel ready

Whether you’re planning with a latte in hand or praying in between diaper changes, you are not behind—and you are not alone.

💛

👣 Quick Takeaways from Today’s Episode:
  • You don’t need a perfect start. Messy beginnings are still holy.
  • Pray first. Let God speak vision into your year.
  • Start small. Focus on 2–3 anchor subjects or rhythms.
  • Make it simple. Use what you have. The learning will come.
  • Reflect weekly. Adjust with grace and prayer.
  • You are called. Not because you're ready—but because He is faithful.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
