Whether you've been dreaming about homeschooling your children for years or just started thinking about it last week, our kids aren't always on board as much as we, as the homeschool moms are.
For some reason, they don't always appreciate all of the hours that have been devoted to choosing curriculum and thinking through your approach to education. Which means, they aren't quite as enthusiastic about all or some of your homeschool ...
Wow! You really brought the questions for this one!
I loved the variety and the chance to answer some fun and some really tough homeschool questions.
It was a really good time answering these and I hope that you enjoy it too!

When we start homeschooling, it's all sunshine and happy happy thoughts. And then, we each begin to slowly {or not so slowly} encounter the same circumstances as every homeschool mom does.
You've probably wondered why no one told you these? {Would you have believed them anyway?} Or why isn't anyone talking about this now?
Well, I am today.
Let's recognize that there are some things that, no matter how we homeschool, there are co...
You chose some amazing resources and curriculum and have so many goals for the homeschool year and it's just so hard to fit it all in. Am I right?
A year into homeschooling, I discovered two times in our days that I was neglecting to take advantage of. It was a complete game changer when I began to use these times to work towards the educational and discipleship goals that I had for our homeschooling years.
I hope these give you so...
Today's episode has been ruminating in my mind for the past few months and I think it's a really important conversation to have. There is no perfect step by step plan to guarantee a specific outcome. But we are called, as Christian homeschool parents, to teach our children the Gospel and to guide them in growing their faith.
That can often get lost in the day to day tasks of running a household and meeting homeschool regulations. L...
The public school system is the most prominent educational model in our culture. And it's often the one that homeschoolers look to for guidance or at least a set of standards to measure against.
But, if you've done more than a day or two of homeschooling, you quickly realize that home education is (and should be) vastly different.
One of the common questions and source of many a mom wondering if she's doing enough is how much time ...
Are you wondering if you'll make it through this season in life, year, week, maybe even day? All of the responsibilities and being "on" 24/7 is overwhelming and exhausting.
Maybe you just weren't cut out for being a homeschool mom.
But, what if it IS what you are meant to do. You've just been looking at it all wrong.
In today's episode, we'll tackle the hard head on and I won't mince words. But, we should not stay in the overwhelme...
Even in the homeschool realm, it can feel like there are some taboo topics. Or at least ones that moms are hesitant to voice their opinion about.
Testing and grading is one of those and I am actually loving the fact that more homeschool moms are willing to think outside the box and take a different approach. And bonus points for sharing what you do and why with others!
Through all the years of homeschooling, I had a strong resolve ...
So, you just started the homeschool year and you're having a hard time already. Should you throw in the towel? Are you just not cut out for this homeschool thing?
It can feel embarrassing to admit that homeschool isn't all that you thought it would be. It looks like everyone else started their year and they're living the dream. But you aren't.
I promise that all is not lost! Today's episode will share 4 ways to get out of this roug...
Wow! The questions in this episode are deep, but I'm here for it. I loved answering your questions that ranged from the reality of homeschooling boys who are on the move (it was a common theme for this one), homeschooling specific questions, and we ended with a question that brought tears to my eyes.
Enjoy getting my point of view on these and when you have a question, I'd love to hear it!

Technology has come in like a tidal wave and our culture has just willingly accepted and adopted it all without questioning the ramifications. This isn't just for ourselves as adults, but for our children as well.
At this point, you'd have to be living in a cave to not know that there is some pushback and evidence showing the negative impact screens can have on our children. But, as a homeschool parent, you spend a lot of time bein...
We're going to poke the bear a little bit today. But not to make enemies. Instead, let's take a look at how the school system matches up with the here and now and then, flip the script to make your homeschool what it needs to be for your family.
It's no secret that many families are choosing to home educate their children. At the end of the day, are you simply replicating the school system at home? You've left the system for variou...

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.
I hadn't realized when I began 15 years ago how much this one big shift in our family w...

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.
Zan Tyler is one of those women! S...

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 ...
