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!

The (not so) funny thing about homeschooling is that in theory, it sounds like a magical place full of perfect days. And then...reality hits. As the homeschool mom, we have to actually carry through with the plan.

Enter the hurdle of consistency. 

You know how it goes: great curriculum and a plan for the day and then one thing ...

It's common knowledge that homeschooling includes academic work. And as a homeschool mom, you know that you get to choose how and when that occurs in your home education.

But there is so much more to homeschool than the books and curriculum.

Nowadays, we take for granted that we can easily switch to homeschooling and continue for as long as we want to. But, the early homeschoolers didn't have that assurance. It took a few brave parents to step into the unknown and create a path for us to follow.

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?

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.

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.
