DESIGN YOUR FAMILY'S UNIQUE HOMESCHOOL THAT YOU'LL LOVE! https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/blueprint

Let's have a little fun this summer and do a Q&A! I wish we were sitting down together with a pitcher of iced tea between us. But, since we can't do that, grab a cool drink and find a cozy spot and let's have a conversation.

We'll cover a range of topics that homeschool moms have sent in, including babies in church, feeling stagnant in faith, deciding what to do when friendships aren't serving our family's goals, getting kids motivated to read, and how to convince the judge that homeschool is the better education option.

There will be another Q&A next month, so get your questions in now!

Homeschooling doesn't require you to be sequestered at home with zero interaction or friends. That means the desire you have as a homeschool mom to have friendships with other women is okay. And you should act on it!

Kristen Strong joined me on the podcast today to discuss this very topic. We talked about some practical ways to connect with other women, along with the benefits of friendships.

You may feel like you are in a season that makes growing friendships difficult, but we promise that it is not impossible!

Enjoy!

All homeschool moms juggle various roles and wear many hats. But, some work part-time, along with home educating their children.

Whether you work out of the home, from home, or are thinking about starting a part-time job or online business, I have a few tips to share with you today.

During my 14 years of homeschooling, I've had a few part-time gigs and have had many conversations with other women who balance work and homeschool. My goal is to equip you with some ideas that will help you figure out what is best for your family right now.

See you inside this episode!

There are a lot of things that make a homeschool mom question how she is educating her children. But, one of the biggest ones is when a friend homeschools with a different style or method.

"She is homeschooling better than I am."

"Her kids seem to love homeschool more than mine."

"I should probably stop homeschooling my way and do it like my friend."

Those and other thoughts swirl through a homeschool mom's mind. Her confidence begins to waiver.

Listen, I've been there. I had a few moments where I almost threw everything in the trash and was about to replicate a friend's homeschool.

This episode is what I've learned through those experiences, along with watching the outcome when children are homeschooled with different styles and using opposite methods.

Grab an iced tea and let's tackle this tough topic together.

Fear. Is it holding you back from beginning to homeschool? Is it holding you back from really embracing your homeschool? Is it holding you back from doing what is best for your children?

It can do all of those things...and more.

Let's stop giving fear a seat at the table. Acknowledge it, yes. And then, let's flip it on it's head and use it as motivation to create the best homeschool for your kids.

This episode outlines 3 major fear points that homeschool moms experience. But, we're not staying in that fear and I'll share how you can overcome this feeling and those sticking points.

Grab a pen and paper to take a few notes and then take action!

There are so many demands during the homeschooling years and moms can quickly spiral into feeling overwhelmed.

Today's guest, Whitney Newby, of Brighter Day Press is sharing her journey and practical tips so you can use these years to grow in your faith and walk with God. She knows what it feels like to be in the trenches and found that turning towards Scripture and Truth gave her the peace she needed.

It's one thing to love our children, but it's another thing to really enjoy being with them.

Unfortunately, it's very common for parents to use the excuse of not wanting to homeschool because they, "Could never be with their kids all day." But, homeschool parents can fall into the trap of thinking they have done a good thing by home educating, but completely miss the connection that is possible.

If you've been frustrated with your homeschool children and want to change your mindset to actually enjoy being with them, you need this episode.

It might feel a million years away, but your homeschooler will eventually complete their home education years.

Are you preparing them now for that time?

I know, it seems silly to bring up that question when your child is only 8 years old. But, I have noticed 3 really amazing characteristics among homeschoolers whose parents were intentional.

Grab that load of laundry that needs folding and listen in so you can keep these characteristics as goals for your years of homeschooling.
