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 You've left the system for various reasons, but are you still stuck in an outdated way of educating children?

Join the conversation as we pull back the veil and then give you clear steps to update your homeschool so it can be successful.

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 after another and it feels easier to just put everything aside for today.

And then tomorrow, the day after, the next day, and on and on.

In today's episode, I'm going to share with you what helped me to be consistent so that I could graduate my homeschoolers knowing that I did my part.

Grab those big girl pants and let's goooo!!!

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 would affect our lives. And as I began to see all of the potential in each year and the difference it was making in my children, I caught a bigger vision for this time.

Not only that, but I realized that these years could rewrite my story. They could change the trajectory of our family and our children's path.

May today's episode inspire you to think and dream bigger!

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! She and her husband made the decision to homeschool before anyone even knew what that was. They became trailblazers in creating the freedom that we so easily enjoy today.

After all those years of homeschooling and watching her children grow and succeed, she has continued to encourage homeschool moms. Her perspective in today's episode on keeping our eyes on what truly matters will greatly encourage you.

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 you can continue with throughout the entire homeschool year?

Grab a pen and paper or open the notes in your phone to write down the few ideas that you think will help you create a sustainable homeschool, so that you can carry through with it day in and day out.

Today's guest, Mystie Winckler of Simply Convivial has been a homeschooling homemaker for over two decades. She has experienced that sane overwhelming feeling and responded in a few different ways until she took into consideration what the Bible says.

She is here to encourage you in this current season of life that you find yourself in with practical advice, wisdom, and peace.

Your questions are amazing and I had so much fun answering these. I love delving into a variety of topics and today's episode covers so much.

Even if you don't find yourself in any of these circumstances, I think it really helps us to understand other homeschool moms better when we stop, listen, and place ourselves in their position. We all really are trying to do right by our own family and the best place to find ourselves is cheering one another on!
