232 // Overwhelmed as a Tired or Introverted Parent? Quick Tips to THRIVE NOW with Little By Little Homeschool Jan 26, 2024

Have you ever felt like you are just too tired or too introverted for this homeschooling journey that you're on?
But you know you actually long to thrive and enjoy it, you want to look back and realize you've created beautiful memories in your life and your children's lives!

I remember the days of being a new homeschool mom. My kids were little, and it was a journey I hadn't anticipated. And I wished so much that there was somebody who could help me see the vision of what homeschooling could be for my family. Someone who would have been able to help me not fear. I wished for someone to model this life to me.

How could we balance a life where we homeschooled, did all the "mom stuff" and possibly even took on some side work or hobbies? I wanted someone to show me, "How do we do the food here? What's a snapshot like of the teenage season? Can you help me learn how to control mom anger?"
I really wanted to understand these things. But I didn't know anybody I could talk to.

If YOU are READY to learn these things that I wanted to know so badly at the beginning of my journey, or you just want some encouragement through hearing two veteran homeschool moms talk about how it's all worked out in the end for us.... this is a great episode for you.

I'm talking with Leigh from Little By Little Homeschool. She is a precious friend and fellow podcaster. She and I share our hearts and our experiences from the nearly decade and a half of homeschooling we have each done. Collectively think we've got almost 30 years under our belts.

Grab your warm laundry and ear buds, and let's have a heart to heart!

Today I’ll give you a life changing tip. It’s not a magic schedule or a productivity hack, but a way to shift your mindset and find joy in the chaos, even with those pesky doubts buzzing around.

This episode is all about celebrating tiny wins and making 1% shifts to transform your home and homeschool from messy mayhem to joyfulness amidst the chaos. ✨

Remember, mamas, you're not in a sprint. We're on a beautiful, messy marathon! ✨ Celebrate the little things, make those 1% shifts (like a pilot tweaking his flight plan, and very much in the Charlotte Mason style of creating good habits!), and trust that tiny steps lead to big joy with your amazing kids.

Bonus tips:

Take deep breaths! ‍♀️ It helps reduce stress and aligns your whole body. (My physical therapist's wisdom!)

Remember Isaiah 28:10: "Precept upon precept, line upon line, here a little, there a little." We build our family goals slowly, step by step.

Ever feel like your days are a whirlwind of homeschooling schedules, therapy appointments, and navigating the unique joys and challenges of raising special needs children? You're not alone. Today, I have something truly special to share – a heartfelt interview of myself with Tim Maudlin, the host of Anchors of Encouragement podcast. In this episode, you'll pull up a cozy chair alongside us as I open up about my family's journey. It's a story filled with love, laughter, and many moments of overwhelm – but above all, it's a testament to the incredible resilience and grace found within families like yours and mine.

Together, we'll discuss the realities faced by parents like us: the stress, the financial juggle, the endless therapies, and the emotional weight that comes with nurturing special needs children and offer a beacon of hope.

I discuss the systems Steve and I have implemented to bring order to the chaos, a practical roadmap you can adapt to your own journey. Tim and I also discuss the power of understanding each child's unique developmental stage, and how this insight transforms the way you approach their education and emotional needs. Learn how to actively involve your children in creating a harmonious family dynamic, and pick up invaluable tips for building a nurturing environment where everyone thrives.

We share how a deep connection to God offers a powerful anchor amidst the storms, reminding us of the immense grace available to us all. And there still even more goodness in here!

So, my friend, grab your favorite beverage, settle in, and enjoy this conversation with Tim that is filled with wisdom, love, and grace.

Yet the isolation and burden of the holiday season for us as special needs parents can trigger internal struggles we didn’t expect, even with our faith and resilience.

In my years as a special needs mom and being friends with many other SN moms, I’ve experienced that the holidays can take on a different feeling, and bring challenges we didn’t expect to endure, so today I’m bringing you encouragement as I pray for you while we walk through this precious Christmas season.

XOXO,
Katie

206 // Faith in the Digital Age: Discipling Generation Z with Jason Jimenez Oct 13, 2023

Do you have a child born between 1997 - 2012? THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU.

You are parenting Gen Z.

A massive percentage of Gen Z kids are turning away from the church and even from their family. Do not let this be your child!

Have you ever wondered what sets Generation Z apart from previous generations?

Or, perhaps you've pondered how to effectively communicate spiritual matters with Gen Z, especially when their beliefs are diverse and unique?

Maybe you've even questioned how to approach conversations about spirituality with other parents, especially when their beliefs differ from your own, while raising Gen Z kids?

These are not just questions; they are the gateway to understanding the unique challenges and opportunities that come with parenting Gen Z.

We had a fabulous guest, Jason Jimenez, the author of the newly released book Parenting Gen Z, here to give us some insight and support into raising this unique generation under our roof.

Here's a glimpse of what we covered:

1. Unique Characteristics of Generation Z: We unraveled the distinctive traits that set Gen Z apart, giving you a comprehensive understanding of this generation and how they perceive the world differently than previous ones.

2. Effective Spiritual Communication: We shared insights on how parents can engage in meaningful conversations about spirituality with Gen Z, even when their beliefs are diverse. We talked about practical tips to bridge the generation gap and create open, respectful dialogues.

3. Navigating Conversations with Other Parents: We explored strategies for approaching conversations about spiritual topics with other parents who may hold fluid or different beliefs from your own. Jason shares how to foster understanding and cooperation in the parenting community.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg!

Our segment provided valuable advice, actionable steps, and real-life stories to help you navigate these complex issues.

We understand the challenges you face as parents, especially in the context of raising Gen Z kids, and we're here to support you on this journey.

We hope this episode empowers you to build stronger connections with your Gen Z children, communicate effectively about spirituality, and find common ground with other parents.

Remember, you're not alone on this parenting adventure.

XOXO,
Katie

205// Feeling Overwhelmed and Stuck? The Hidden Culprit Could Be This One Thing... Oct 11, 2023

Struggling With Constant Self Doubt? Overwhelm? Feeling Stuck?

Perfectionism is a behavioral trait characterized by an excessive pursuit of flawlessness and an unrelenting desire for high standards.

Mamas, we DO NOT have time or space to be plagued by this. We need all the energy and focus we can have for investing into our christian parenting and discipleship, our homeschooling, and pouring LOVE into our homes.

How do we know if this is the thing that is pulling us down?

Today - we will unpack that.

People who exhibit perfectionism often set unrealistic expectations for themselves and are highly critical of their own performance, aiming for a level of achievement that is virtually impossible to reach. Does this sound like you? It is definitely a challenge I have found myself facing many times.

This trait can manifest in various aspects of a person's life, including hidden areas that might not be immediately apparent, and SEEING them will bring you PEACE and FREEDOM.

Let’s discuss how perfectionism can show up in hidden places in your life, and I’ll tell you which areas I see it in my life so clearly as well.

XOXO,
Katie

203// Is God Happy With Your Homemaking? The Number One Way To Feel Peace In Stewardship Oct 04, 2023

Is God truly content with your homemaking efforts? Are you stewarding your home in a a way that really pleases Him?

In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it's easy to get caught up in the never-ending to-do lists, the expectations we place on ourselves, and the pursuit of perfection. As Christian homeschooling moms with special needs children, we often find ourselves pulled in many different directions at once.

But have you ever stopped to ask yourself, "Is God happy with my homemaking?" Are the standards I set for myself aligned with God's standards?

Let’s explore a powerful way to evaluate the alignment of our homemaking standards with God's divine plan. It's a journey of self-discovery, reflection, and a deeper connection with our faith.

In a Charlotte Mason-inspired homeschool, character development is a central pillar of education. The idea of reflecting on 1 Corinthians 13 and the Fruits of the Spirit align with Charlotte Mason's belief in developing children's moral and spiritual character. Charlotte Mason advocated for "living books" and exposure to great literature, including the Bible, to nurture the hearts and minds of children.

As Christian parents, our emphasis on love, patience, kindness, and self-control within the context of homemaking can also be seen as an extension of the principles of habit formation that Charlotte Mason emphasized. Building habits of love, patience, and self-control within the home environment can have a profound impact on the character development of both parents and children, aligning with Charlotte Mason's philosophy of education.

May your homemaking be a reflection of God's love and grace (and not Pinterest or the latest fad… lol), nurturing the hearts and souls of your family as you walk together in faith.

Grab a cup of tea or basket of laundry, and let’s find PEACE,
XOXO,

Katie

199 // What A Family Government Look Like In Practice, and How It Benefits Your Daily Life and Family Dynamics (Part 4) Sep 20, 2023

Are you ever faced with those chaotic moments in your home? The ones that leave you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and questioning your abilities as a parent? If you've been there, you're not alone. Parenting can be tough, and there's no handbook that magically makes it easy.

You might wonder, "What can I do to regain control? How can I create a peaceful and nurturing environment for my family?" These questions are exactly what I want to address today.

Imagine a scenario: Your kids are fighting, your special needs child is having a tough day, your anxiety is skyrocketing, and chaos reigns. In such moments, the easy way out might seem to be yelling, just to restore some order. But instead, let me introduce you to the concept of a "family government."

Picture this: You call your kids to the front door where you've posted your family's guiding principles. No yelling, no chaos. They gather slowly, and you calmly ask, "What does the door say we should live like?" They read aloud those principles you've all agreed upon.

In this moment, a shift occurs. Anxiety subsides, angry arguments calm, and your children begin to regain their logical thinking. You all know the consequences if chaos continues, thanks to your preset family agreements. There's no need to scramble for consequences or empty threats; it's all predetermined.

Conflict resolution skills are practiced, apologies exchanged, and you leave as a family, respecting one another and starting anew. Imperfectly, but with grace.

The truth is, perfection is never required in parenting. We all make mistakes, but it's how we handle them that truly matters. You can teach your children the power of reconciliation, forgiveness, and authenticity.

In a world where it often feels like you're not measuring up, where the challenges seem never-ending, and where the weight of responsibility can be overwhelming, remember this: grace covers our imperfections, and love guides us.

A family government can transform your home, making it a sanctuary of unity, understanding, and growth.

Katie

197 // The Best Kept Secret to Overcome Overwhelm, Burnout, and Chaos with One Simple System (Hint: Family Government) Part 2 Sep 13, 2023

Do you get burned out? Overwhelmed? Need a break from the CHAOs? I have a FAST HACK for pushing though that, into the abundance the Lord offers. Really.

In our journey through motherhood and homeschooling, it's not uncommon to encounter overwhelming stress and a constant sense of imbalance. We, as parents, are so devoted to our children, especially when they have special needs, that we often put our own self-care on the back burner. It's a situation many of us can identify with, the feeling of being a pressure cooker on the brink of a mild panic attack.

In Part 2 of the Family Government seriesI continue to introduce you to a powerful concept – Family Government. It's not about rules or obedience; it's about setting a firm foundation of habit and systemizing the basics of family functioning. It's a holistic approach that can transform your family dynamics and your own well-being, even in the face of overwhelming stress.

I share in Part 1 my story of navigating the challenges of raising children with high needs. But here's the catch- I discovered a secret, a best-kept secret that changed my life. I found a way to maintain peace, unity, and love in our home, even during times of tremendous struggle and major life challenges with my children.

I’ll share how I navigated this journey through the lens of Charlotte Mason's educational philosophy, Christian parenting, and the implementation of Family Government.

I am excited to share with you how Family Government creates a routine for children, especially those with special needs who often thrive on structure, simultaneously fosters emotional and mental safety for all siblings, and removes the ability for children to manipulate parents through emotional triggers. It is a WIN - WIN all around.

I hope this episode inspires you and is a reminder that, even in the most challenging times, you can create an environment where both you and your children thrive.

So, whether you're a homeschooling parent, a devout follower of Charlotte Mason, or simply a mother seeking a path to balance and self-care in the whirlwind of special needs parenting, this episode is a must-listen. Join me as we unpack this remarkable journey and unveil the hidden secrets of Family Government.

186 // Handling Homeschool Opposition: Overcoming Criticism from Family & Friends Aug 04, 2023

Have you ever experienced opposition from extended family when it comes to homeschooling your children? Especially your special needs, neurodiverse, or gifted child?

It can be tough to stand confidently behind your homeschooling and health decisions, while also addressing potential hurt feelings from those closest to you.

As parents, we want the best for our kids, and homeschooling can provide a unique and tailored education for each child. But what do you do when extended family members don't quite understand or support your choice?

The Charlotte Mason approach to homeschooling, which we also apply to our lifestyle, emphasizes a holistic education that recognizes the uniqueness of each child and aims to provide a tailored learning experience. Homeschooling can offer a unique and personalized education for special needs, neurodiverse, or gifted children, aligning with the core philosophy of Charlotte Mason. (Here is some free GOLD on this topic! <3 http://herhomeandheart.net/free )

Today we will talk together about ways to educate critical friends and family on the benefits of homeschooling and some tips to help find common ground.

But if that doesn’t work….

We will also talk about boundaries and solutions for those that just won’t ever support us.

As homeschooling parents of children with special needs, it's essential to protect our well-being and the well being of our children, which can be done by setting healthy boundaries with family members. Setting healthy boundaries with extended family members to protect the well-being of both the parent and the child reflects the importance of cultivating a nurturing and supportive atmosphere within a Charlotte Mason lifestyle. The emphasis on creating a safe environment for children to thrive and explore their full potential is consistent with the values of a Charlotte Mason education, which we can celebrate!

Remember, you're not alone on this journey. Our Facebook community is a great place to connect with like-minded parents, share experiences, and find support. So come on over and join the conversation!

177 // Optimizing Health for Special Needs Homeschooling: Uniting Functional Medicine and Charlotte Mason Principles with Hally Brooke Jun 30, 2023

Have you heard that gut health impacts neurodiversity and mental health conditions like ADHD, anxiety, depression, and autism - but didn’t know HOW or WHY?

Did you know that prioritizing self-care will positively impact your ability to provide better care for your children?

Have you wondered if there are signs that indicate a need for functional medicine in your family's health journey?

Today I’m excited to explore the powerful connection between self-care, healthy eating habits, and how this affects the quality of your homeschooling in the context of the Charlotte Mason lifestyle.

Our guest today is Halle Brook, founder and CEO of Live Nourished. She shares her expertise in holistic healthcare. She explains how combining Functional and Western Medicine can optimize your family well-being, with a special emphasis on gut health and its connection to emotional and hormonal balance for the family.

Hally shares how to cultivate a healthier lifestyle for your family by nourishing them with natural foods, immersing in nature, and fostering kitchen involvement. And she reminds us parents that it's essential to prioritize our own needs and seek support on this parenting journey, because living life in overwhelm does not help us thrive.

Grab your notebook and cup of goodness, and let’s chat about some practical tips to nourish your body, mind, and soul that align with a beautiful Charlotte Mason lifestyle.

XOXO,
Katie

Unleashing the Love of Learning "Charlotte Mason Style" through Faith-based Science Education with Luke and Trisha Wilkerson Jun 23, 2023

Are you looking for a faith-based approach to teaching science at home that aligns with the principles of the Charlotte Mason lifestyle?

Have you been curious about how to effectively teach science with a faith-based approach in the comfort of your own home, while embracing the principles of the Charlotte Mason lifestyle?

Charlotte Mason believed in providing a rich and varied education that encompasses all aspects of a child's development, including spiritual growth.

Today we speak to Luke and Trisha Gilkerson, the founders of Journey Homeschool Academy. The online academy offers parents the tools and resources to provide a holistic education that integrates science with Christian values. Not only that, it has blessed our neurodivergent, special needs, and outside the box learners in our home.

In the Charlotte Mason approach, science is not just a subject to be studied, but a means to discover and appreciate the wonders of God's creation!

Luke and Trisha's emphasis on instilling Christian values through science education perfectly aligns with Charlotte Mason's belief in nurturing a child's spiritual connection with the world around them.

Charlotte Mason advocated for the importance of community and collaboration in education. Luke and Trisha's encouragement to join homeschool communities resonates with the idea of parents coming together to support and inspire one another in their homeschooling journeys.

Luke and Trisha online courses support Charlotte Mason's principles of giving children living ideas and allowing them to explore and learn at their own pace. By tailoring the curriculum to fit the family's needs and incorporating interactive and hands-on activities, parents can create a learning environment that fosters a love for science and a deeper understanding of God's creation.

I believe you will LOVE hearing from the Gilkersons!

XOXO,

Katie

God's Boundaries Revealed: Teaching Kids the Power of Limits and Respect through Daily Interactions Even When Stressed Jun 21, 2023

Are you eager to create a nurturing home environment where your children learn to respect boundaries, empathize with others, and build healthy relationships?

I want to dive into a topic that's close to my heart and I believe will resonate with you deeply – teaching our precious little ones about boundaries.

As homeschooling moms, we have this incredible privilege of not just nurturing our children academically, but also guiding them on their journey of personal and emotional growth. And one vital aspect of that journey is helping them understand the concept of boundaries.

Today let’s explore the gentle art of setting boundaries within our homes. We'll draw inspiration from our Creator, who, in His divine wisdom, established boundaries within His creation for our well-being and protection.

I’ll give you an example of ways to infuse these lessons into our everyday lives, using the events of the day and our children's interactions as teachable moments. We'll learn how boundaries foster respect, empathy, and healthy relationships, laying a foundation for their future well-being.

So, my dear friend, grab a cozy blanket, pour yourself a soothing cup of tea, and join me on this intimate journey of imparting wisdom and love to our children. It's in these tender moments that we shape not just their understanding of boundaries, but also their hearts and character.

I'm truly grateful to have you by my side on this path of motherhood. Let's lean in, listen, and learn together.

XOXO,
Katie

5 Steps to Nurturing Strong Sibling Relationships With A Biblical and Charlotte Mason Style Jun 07, 2023

Have you ever felt helpless over the kids fighting so much?

Or worried that the fighting between your kids might harm your family long term?

Have you though to yourself “What if fostering a strong bond between siblings is not just about their relationship now, but also about equipping them with lifelong skills for empathy, cooperation, and support as they navigate the world together?"

Yet, you just didn’t know where to start?

Today, I want to dive deep into a topic that holds a special place in our hearts – nurturing a spirit of love and kindness among siblings.

Charlotte Mason emphasized the importance of nurturing strong and supportive sibling relationships. Encouraging kindness, cooperation, and empathy among siblings fosters a sense of camaraderie and strengthens family bonds.

Charlotte Mason believed in educating the whole child, and that includes cultivating strong character traits and relationships within the family.

In a Charlotte Mason homeschool, the emphasis is not solely on academics but on the development of the whole person.

By intentionally fostering a culture of love and kindness within our homes, we are nurturing the character of our children and creating an environment that supports their emotional and relational growth.

YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!
XOXO,
Katie

Raising Confident Children: The Role of Biblical Self Worth in Building Up The Next Generation May 31, 2023

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you wanted to help someone struggling with self esteem or self worth, but didn't know where to start?

Parents have an important responsibility to help their children develop a healthy and robust sense of self-esteem, which should come from an understanding of their own true worth rather than from external sources such as popular culture.

We must exhibit grace towards ourselves and our children, taking into consideration that parenting isn't easy, and we must draw inspiration and direction from the Bible.

This episode dives into techniques for helping us, and our children, to recognize the innate value each of us has, so we can confidently walk the path of our future knowing who we are.

Homeschool Tutorials vs. Homeschool Co-ops: Which One is Right for Your Family? May 17, 2023

Have you ever wondered about the differences between a homeschool tutorial and a homeschool co-op? Or wished for some support on your homeschooling journey but didn’t know what your options were?

Co-ops and tutorials have distinct differences that may make one option better suited for your family's needs than the other.

As a special needs mom with a very full plate, that included therapy, extra appointments, and very little time to rest, I chose a homeschool tutorial for our family in certain seasons of our journey.

In this episode, we'll explore the differences between the two, and help you decide which is the best fit for your family.

We will cover the level of involvement required from parents, the level of commitment, and the cost of each option. I’ll also share what I see as the benefits and drawbacks of both models, and share some questions to ask yourself to help you make an informed decision for your unique family.

XOXO,
Katie

157 // Teaching Money Management and Generosity to Children without Overwhelm Apr 26, 2023

How can parents best prepare their children for a financially secure future while instilling values of generosity and responsible money management? Teaching money can feel SO overwhelming!

Did you know that hands-on activities such as letter writing and budgeting systems help shape a child's character and money skills? And these methods are VERY aligned with Charlotte Mason's homeschooling philosophies.

Many parents also ask me how they can introduce more complex concepts such as debt management and entrepreneurship in a safe and effective way, so I discuss some of our strategies for that as well!

This episode will spark some creativity in you and your children, and start you on a journey of FUN as you learn the biblical principles of financial stewardship in your Charlotte Mason homeschool together.

Do you wish for more time? Better balance? Less stress? A lot less OVERWHELM?

As a homeschooling mom with a heart to serve, it’s common to want a blissful balance - we have all been there!

Honestly, balance isn’t a reality. Let me be clear. We will always be shifting from one focus to another, which can feel out of balance- if we allow it to create chaos.

BUT- we can BE at peace even in the overwhelming juggling act, I promise.

Today let’s dive into 6 ways you can start taking back your peace.

Through LITTLE tactics that shift how you manage your home and life, even and an overwhelmed mom of little kids or special needs and neurodiverse children, you CAN bring that feeling of balance back into your home and heart. The Charlotte Mason philosophy emphasizes nurture, and that extends to us as parents. When we are caring for ourselves through the ways we manage our time and home, we will enjoy our family life so much more.

Grab your chai, and come sit on the front porch with me so we can chat about this!

132 // Confidently Create a Stress Free Affordable Homeschool Joyfully Aligned with Charlotte Mason Philosophy, with Homeschooling Veteran Daphne Boyd (Part 2) Jan 27, 2023

Are you longing to homeschool, but terrified that it might be too hard? You are overwhelmed because you don't know how homeschooling even works? How do you know if you or your child will enjoy it?

Today Daphne Boyd and I are opening up our lives and homes, and inviting you into our kitchens, family rooms, and school rooms. We want you to see the potential treasure that lies within any homeschool and family on the homeschooling journey.

Homeschooling is so much more than your average classroom education.

Homeschooling is an amazing opportunity to give our children the individualized learning experience they need, and to teach real-life skills, while incorporating our family values and beliefs into their lessons too! Homeschooling from a Christian perspective also allows our children to grow in the knowledge of the Lord! If you like the Charlotte Mason philosophy you will LOVE this episode!

With homeschooling comes loads of opportunities to discover and chase a child's true interests and passions, and to ignite a love of learning in them that will stay with them lifelong, just like we read about in Charlotte Masons writings.

There are SO many resources to use today too, like online programs, science kits, field trips and travel, and many extracurricular activities that put a bright spark of deep learning into homeschool education, unlike what is available outside of the home.

If you have special needs children or exceptionally gifted learners in your home, this is the key to giving them the eduction you dream of!

Grab a notebook and pen, because we don't hold back any secrets that we have learned on our journey to becoming homeschooling veterans.

Let's get ready to unpack this exciting journey full of possibilities!

Hey Friend,

Do you struggle to say NO?

Today I discuss 7 reasons that setting clear boundaries will set you FREE. If you want peace in motherhood or marriage, a joyful homeschool experience, more time to do proper self care so you can feel renewed.... then THIS is a perfect episode for you.

Are you a special needs family, or do you know one? Have you understood the overwhelm and challenge special needs families face? Have you felt the joy, compassion, and richness that special needs families experience as the flip side to the pain?

This week my friend Stacey and I are opening up the doors into our homes and hearts, and sharing with you what it is like to be the parent of a profoundly disabled child. WE GET REAL. So grab the tissue box ladies.

We will share the struggles and the joys, and give some insight into how you can help a family in your community who may be very challenged with their own special needs child.

Special needs families must learn how to prioritize, manage stress and overwhelm, and build a supportive community in order to cope with the unique challenges they face. It is not easy and no one is trained for these challenges, so most are unprepared.
Stacey and her family have faced an incredible amount of difficulty, with their daughter Ava having to go through countless brain surgeries and other hardships. Despite it all, Stacey and her husband Chris remain strong and joyful, providing inspiration to those around their family.
I hope you will enjoy this time listening in on a heartfelt conversation between two moms who are doing the very best they can under extreme circumstances.

THRILL of travel and schooling in the real world
AGONY when our child is struggling and we don't know what to do yet
... and SO much more.

Today we are bringing to you the top 4 mistakes homeschooling parents make, so you can get straight to the PEACE and PROGRESS you are searching for! NO MORE OVERWHELM for you, or your outside the box neurodivergent student!

Do you feel that calling to something more? Even though you LOVE your life as a SAHM and homeschooling family, you hear God calling you to bless others?

So, today Lemon Price and I are sharing this best kept secret for the Christian Momprenuer, with YOU.

Hey Mama!

Do you wish your home and homeschool could be peaceful?

Jesus Lover and Daughter of the King, Wife to a Hunk, Mama of 5 treasures (with a pair of out-of-the-box movers and shakers), Special Needs Advocate, Non-toxic Lifestyle Junkie, and Homeschool Fanatic.

For years I struggled to feel confident amid the chaos of daily life. I was overwhelmed searching for answers to mysterious health challenges and chronic illness, desperate to know how to educate and train my children perfectly, longing to keep a Pinterest-worthy home, while trying to meet my unrealistic internal expectations and keep up with military spouse life. I felt like a hamster running on a never ending wheel.

I finally realized that to create the foundations in my family which I KNEW I was called to create, something BIG had to change. I did not want to wake up someday to regret and sorrow. I longed for simple solutions to living life with purpose, while fulfilling my calling to motherhood, health, homeschooling, and homemaking.

TRAILER - Meet the KEENES. Feb 08, 2021

This is the Family Success Secrets show. Many families have struggles with their health, relationships, or finances. This show is designed to show you how you can resolve those problems with systems that we, or our guests, have demonstrated to work in our own homes.
We have dealt with many challenges. Being a special needs family presents many complex challenges to family life.
As we overcame these challenges, we realized that our favorite times were those when we were sharing our successes with other people, and they were sharing with us what they had done to help themselves.
That is why we are excited to share the things that we have learned on our journey through marriage, parenting, special needs parenting, and a life that ties all these things together. Each week we are going to give insight to systems that you can use to deal with grief, improve your health, enhance your relationships, and stabilize your finances.
Thanks for joining us on our journey. We are all going to learn so much along the way.
