• 434. Q&A: When Motherhood Expectations Don't Match Reality, Keeping Energetic Kids on Task, And The Role of Music in Homeschool
    Jan 29 2026

    We always have a good time with a Q&A episode, so why should this one be any different? The only thing missing is your question, so be sure to submit it soon!

    Meanwhile, let's tread into the territory of what to do when our expectations for how a child would be is not the same as the child you are parenting, keeping ADHD kids focused for homeschool, and how should you "teach" music to your children?

    Grab a hot cup of cocoa, listen in, and then let me know what you think!

  • 433. Creating and Sticking With A Homeschool Budget
    Jan 26 2026

    It's not usually fun to talk about money and budget, but peace in homeschooling can come from operating within our means. The amount of money spent on homeschooling does not determine success or failure. However, it does help homeschool moms make some important decisions.

    I promise this episode won't hurt and we'll cover it all from why, how, and a little of my personal experience with setting a budget and sticking with it.

    Grab a pen and paper and let's have a little chat!

  • 432. Top Things My Graduated Homeschoolers Say You Should Do In Your Homeschool
    Jan 22 2026

    All the time and effort you put into homeschooling and you probably wonder if what you're doing is worth it. What will your children say someday about these days and years once they have graduated?

    Today, I am offering a rare glimpse into some feedback that I received from my graduated homeschoolers. Like you, I questioned what I was doing and if they would even appreciate it someday.

    I hope today's episode gives you a little peek into your future, a few ideas, and a little more steam to keep on going.

  • 430. Everyone Says Teaching Bible Is Important In Homeschool, But What Does That Actually Look Like?
    Jan 15 2026

    Between homeschool requirements and the fun resources you have found, it's hard to fit it all in. Throw on top of that in the back of your mind, you have a running thought that is making you feel guilty for not doing Bible reading with your children. Or maybe you do include it, but you're just doing it to check off a box.

    Sound familiar?

    Let's discuss what the solution is to this dilemma and I'm going to share what Bible time can actually look like for your homeschool family.

    Together, let's shed the guilt and look more rightly at why teaching the Bible to your children is so important.
