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.

265. Busting Common Homeschool Myths: How To React And Respond To People's Comments Jun 17, 2024

Show notes

If you heard it once, you'll hear it a hundred more times. The same homeschool myths come up over and over again. It might be the stranger at the grocery store, the neighbor down the street, or even your own aunt.

People mostly comment out of ignorance or obliviousness. But, it still can get under our skin as homeschool moms. And it feels degrading and at the very least, annoying.

Today, I'm going to fill your confidence up with how to react, respond, and move on when others feel that they can speak into your life. The goal is for you to feel encouraged and empowered as to how to deal with each situation that arises.

I promise not to hold back in this episode...so, let's go!

264. The Truth About Why It Isn't Easier To Put Your Home Educated Children In School Jun 13, 2024

Show notes

If we got a dollar every time someone suggested putting our kids in school, we'd have a good chunk of change by now, right?

But I also have a sneaking suspicion that the thought of it being easier to just put your kids in school has crossed your mind a time or two. Or maybe quite a few times. No shame though. This was a thought in the back of my mind for many years as well.

However, once you see the truth about this statement, the whole idea and premise behind where our kids are educated falls apart.

My goal in this episode is to fill up your heart...as well as your ability to articulate this decision...so that you feel free to live out this calling of your family's.

You might want to grab a pen and piece of paper for this one!

Show notes

As a homeschool mom, you made that intentional decision to educate your children at home, which means, everyone is home with you...all the time. And when summer comes, it can be very easy to disengage a little bit.

This usually happens because the curriculum is completed and you are mentally and emotionally drained.

But, you've got that mom guilt hanging over your head too. "Everyone" seems to have an opinion about how you should spend your summer. And I'm not here to give you a list that will only add more burden to you.

Instead, I'd like to encourage you to be intentional about being present and spending time with your children. Just a few little tips will help you keep your mind focused on what is most important so that you and your children can have a great summer!

Show notes

Do you want to look back on this summer and feel good about how you and your homeschool children spent their time? Now, I'm not saying there isn't room for rest, refreshment, and even a lot of fun. But, what about all the time in between? Maybe it's the days you are just home. Or maybe it's the free time your kids will have in between activities.

No matter if you like a jam-packed summer or prefer one more relaxed, there is something to coming alongside our kids and showing them how to be productive and helpful. This habit will serve them well for many years to come as they look at their time as a great gift and desire to spend it well.

Whether you have a 5 year old, 12 year old, or even a 16 year old, I'm excited about how this episode will inspire your summer!

Motherhood is one of the greatest journeys we get to go on. There are so many ups and downs tied to all of our dreams for our children.

And every day, there is a lot that needs to happen to keep everyone moving forwad. Not to mention, the discipleship and relationships that need attention.

257. I Am So Strict. How Do I Loosen Up With My Homeschooled Children? May 20, 2024

Show notes

You swore that you would be the fun homeschool mom. But, then, the day in and day out struggles began and just won't let up. And you've caught yourself way too often saying and acting in a way that makes you wonder if you're pushing your kids away.

Your vision and goals for how you raise your children are admirable, but is the process of doing that sucking the joy {and maybe the life} out of you? Do you find yourself wondering if you're too strict?

I'll be the first to admit that I definitely fell into this category. My intentions were good, but my weariness got the best of me.

Let's find the balance between intentionality and teaching our children with the ability to loosen up a bit and enjoy these years too.

I promise that this is a no judgment zone, so listen in and get ready to break the cycle from here on out!

In the homeschool world, it's so easy to get caught up in "shiny object syndrome." There is always something new and exciting. This could include curriculum, styles of homeschool, books, resources, and the list goes on and on.

And all of those things can have their place. But, what is more important is to stay focused on your long-range vision for these years of home educating your children.

Nicki Truesdell joins the podcast today to get the focus back on what really matters in homeschool. She is known on social media for sharing truth and encouragement that helps parents decide to homeschool, as well as to stay the course and continue homeschooling.
