Little by Little Homeschool – Christian Homeschooling and Motherhood

Do you wish you felt confident in your homeschool decisions instead of constantly second-guessing yourself? Are you overwhelmed by questions, pressure, and the many roles you carry as a homeschool mom?

The Little By Little Homeschool Podcast offers tactical and realistic encouragement to free you from the stress, pressure, and constant uncertainty that so many homeschool moms feel. You'll find practical guidance and mindset shifts that help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and peace.

Hi, I'm Leigh, a Christian wife and mom who spent far too many years trying to duct-tape my priorities together. I chased approval, tried to meet unspoken expectations, and navigated homeschooling without a clear foundation.

I finally realized that if I was going to fully embrace the life I had, I needed to operate from a place of peace and joy. That's when I planted my feet firmly where I was and began to create beauty, seek simplicity, and live intentionally.

If you are ready to love your life as a homeschool mom and to know with confidence that you are doing the right thing for your children–this podcast is for you!

Together, we'll dive into homeschool hot topics, practical adjustments, and mindset shifts that help you create a homeschool where both you and your children can flourish—little by little.

If you've heard it once, you've heard it a million times...or close to that number. But, how do we respond within Christian circles to the scrutiny against homeschooling? Is there any evidence to back-up what we're seeing within the four walls of our own homes?

Israel Wayne, of Family Renewal, has been educating home educators for decades. He combines his knowledge of Scripture with the actual data, along with his lived experience to equip homeschool parents to disciple their children. Not only that, but he seeks to provide you with data and evidence to graciously, but confidently refute arguments against homeschooling.

There are two main claims that Christians will often use against homeschooling. He refutes both of those, along with telling us why so many Christian parents refuse to homeschool their children.

This episode will be such an encouragement as you carry out the call God has on your life!

One of the most common challenges homeschooling families face is what to do with preschoolers while focusing on older children’s lessons.

Whether you have a toddler who’s still learning how to sit still, or a preschooler who’s ready to explore, there are a few practical strategies to keep them engaged, entertained, and learning—without disrupting your homeschool flow.

But, there is so much we can learn from and in the years with a little one who is full of enthusiasm that we shouldn't miss out on!

Life easily gets full and our to-do list gets long. And for the homeschool mom, there is the added pressure to fully educate the children. How in the world can it all get done?

When I'm feeling overwhelmed, I like to ask myself a few questions. First, it calms me down. But then, it gives me clarity to carry out the calling upon my life.

Are you feeling overwhelmed too?

Grab your notebook or journal to take a few notes. At the very least, write down these 5 questions and areas that will help you figure out how to run your days and accomplish what you need to.

The choices are endless when it comes to how you homeschool and what curriculum you use. And no matter what you do, you'll always be second guessing yourself.

Throw on top of that, all of the correction, cleaning, cooking, and on and on and you might begin to wonder if you'll ever make it through these years.

That was me. And I didn't have much of a support system. I sure could have used some solid advice in the middle of the intense homeschooling years.

Consider this to be that episode for you! Grab a cup of hot cocoa as I'd love to share my best homeschool advice with you.

Most of homeschool advice you get focuses on five days a week. You know, Monday through Friday. Those are the days and hours we tend to single out as the most important because we're covering our academics.

But, there are two days a week that we can easily squander away and let our intentionality slip. Sure, we should have times of rest. But rest is not the same as wasting time.

What if you could step out of a weekend and into Monday feeling accomplished and filled up because you did the best thing possible? I want that for you!

Listen in to today's episode to help you craft the best weekend for your family.
