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.

There is a myth going around the homeschool world. Have you heard it?

"You could have a perfect homeschool if only you would..."

And so, you begin chasing this ideal and feel like a failure every single day. But, guess what? You aren't a failure!

In this episode, we're going to poke a hole in the perfect homeschool idea. But, I won't just leaving you there feeling deflated. Instead, I believe there are a few things that you should do instead.

Picking out and using curriculum in homeschool is a lot of fun. And it should be! But, there is so much more to these years than the lessons.

Whether it's pressure from your homeschool state regulations, your own school experience, or voices of family and friends, most of the focus is on creating the modern school system within your home. The methodology and mindset creeps in easily.

But what if homeschool was about something much more than lessons, multiplication tables, essays, and transcripts? That would mean you are missing out on something huge if you only focus on those.

Let's bust the notion that homeschool needs to be solely about subjects and what lessons were accomplished this week. Today is your day to begin a reset of your homeschool!

Welcome to 2025! I hope you are excited about all that this year holds for your family and homeschooling.

When I first began homeschooling, I thought it was only about the curriculum, lessons, and "teaching." My mind was changed as I began to see what these years with my children at home could be about.

As we start a brand new fresh New Year, I'm sharing my must-haves for your family this year. I promise that this isn't an overwhelming list that is just one more thing to add to your list.

Instead, it will transform your outlook and focus this year!

As a homeschool mom, your to-do list is longer than the average normal person. And your heart is so invested in moving your family forward, all while meeting all their needs.

Does it take Super Woman to get things done? Not really. But, it does require a plan and outline for the day.

You've probably heard of time blocks, but those are usually focused on the business world. Could it actually work for a homeschool mom?

Yes!

And today, I'm going to lay out the major time blocks for a homeschool mom's day so you can get the lessons all done, meals served, naps taken, chores accomplished, and so on.

The truth is that someday, your children will be grown and will leave home. It's not a pleasant thought in the midst of the long full days of homeschooling. But, it comes anyway.

And after all of these years with your homeschool children in your home, what is life like for mom afterwards?

Over the past few years, I've been in this season of life. My kids are launching, sometimes coming back home for a season, and living their young adult lives no longer under the direction of their mother.

I'm going to be brutally honest about my experience in today's episode. There were a few hidden realities that no one prepared me for that I want to share with you.

My hope this that you feel equipped to someday (or now) walk through the season of your children growing up with grace and peace...and a deep satisfaction that the homeschool years were well worth it.

Gone are the days of homeschooling being a purely academic approach. When you consider what the Bible says about children, current research, observations, and critically looking at where school has failed, you can forge a better path.

Elisha and Katie Voetberg of Now That We're A Family have been doing just that with their family. Both were raised with a Biblical worldview and are intentional about how they parent their five (almost six!) children.

Today's episode will inspire you to no longer compartmentalize your home education, but rather to tie in your unique family culture. Elisha and Katie will draw on their own experience to give you ideas and tools for the next steps in adding new life to your family and homeschool.
