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.

Show notes

It's the season for expressing thanksgiving and thankfulness. But, are you struggling with what that really looks like for a homeschoom mom and wife?

Your days are so full with the raising and educating of your children, along with keeping up with the homemaking...and being a wife to your husband. The to-do list is long and never quite accomplished.

What does God's Word say about thankfulness? And does it apply to this season of your life?

Let's explore those questions and then make changes that cause your children to see your thankfulness. In turn, the hope is that they internalize and live that way to so that this shift in your life has generational impact.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Show notes

Among the many questions and fears that homeschool parents worry about, the question of whether their child is behind tops the list.

Do you find yourself quietly whispering this question? Do you voice it to your husband? Does it just sit there nagging you in the back of your mind? Do you have others asking you this question flat out?

All of those scenarios don't help settle your anxious heart. But, I surely hope today's episode does.

Let's sit down and have a little heart to heart, okay? Freedom in your home education will happen once you listen and embrace today's message.

311. Your Homeschool Children Are Unique From Each Other: The Approach You Need To Teach Boys And Girls Differently Nov 21, 2024

Show notes

One of the top reasons that moms are scared to homeschool is that she doesn't know how to teach her children of different ages and gender. She looks at the school system and it makes sense to separate children, at least by age. But, looking at her every day is a mixture of boys and girls and various ages.

Instead of seeing this as a negative, homeschool moms can actually provide an amazing education based upon the uniqueness of a family.

Do you feel intimated or overwhelmed with homeschooling your boys and girls? I felt the same way, but learned through the years how to optimize this instead of being anxious about it.

Grab a notebook and get ready to make some really great changes to your homeschool!

Show notes

Every child has been created by God with a uniqueness, but there tends to be a few overarching themes when they are separated by gender.

It can become easy to be frustrated with boy behavior. They tend to puzzle us as homeschoool moms. But, what if instead of seeing what they do as an annoyance, we look at it differently?

Today, I am sharing my top tips that I've learned and employed as a homeschool mom to grow my boys into young men and not just merely survive, but to thrive as their mother.

Find a few moments of quiet or put on those noise canceling headphones and get ready to look at your boys differently after this episode.

Show notes

Even as a homeschool family, parents have to be on the front lines and to be pro-active with sharing truth with their children. If you don't, they'll be inundated with whatever the world determines is true and right at that moment. And this has to begin at a young age.

Elizabeth Urbaniwicz has hope for you though! She has created resources at Foundation Worldview to come alongside parents to give you confidence and guidance.

In today's episode, Elizabeth share why she created this program for parents, what may happen when you shy away from conversations, as well as her brand new program, "God's Good Design."

Show notes

It seems like everywhere you turn, someone is adding to the list of subjects to cover in your homeschool. And those are all really great courses of study and enrichment, but maybe they're not right for you.

Simplicity is calling your name. And you'd rather get really good at a few subjects and topics than try to cover everything.

Let's link arms and pare down the list to make it more manageable. And we'll let the cherry on top be the idea of thinking outside the box because not every area of study can fit neatly in a box...or time block.

Do you feel like you're a stick in the mud and lean towards being legalistically organized?

Maybe the other end of the spectrum appeals to you and you're worried that your fly by the seat of your pants isn't enough for your homeschool.
