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.

Can you even believe that the end of the homeschool year is here? Where did the time go? Well, probably to lessons and meals and bedtime stories and on and on...

When it comes to the end of a school year, moms usually have a sense of feeling ready to move on to the summer, but a lingering feeling of regret or uncertainty can hang overhead.

Inside of today's episode, I have 5 simple tips to get your head around ending well and loving your accomplishments. I promise that you'll be feeling great by the end of this!

Show notes

Homeschool parents jump into homeschooling with high hopes and expectations and an "ignorance is bliss" mentality. And there is nothing wrong with that. That was totally me.

But, along the way, as the years go by, we grow in knowledge and experience about how to home educate.

Today's episode is me pulling back the curtain and showing you some of the things that I wish I had done differently. Yes, our missteps grow us into the homeschool mom we need to be. But, these are the 10 things I wish someone had shared with me when I began researching homeschool over 13 years ago. If I had known about these things much earlier, I would have become a more confident and enjoyable homeschool mom sooner.

Show notes

There are definitely some homeschool years that are more difficult than others. But, as a whole, most should be pretty good years of home educating your children.

The problem is when moms expect a year to be amazing, but don't put in the necessary time for it to be amazing. It doesn't matter what your style of homeschool, if you aren't intentional, you're missing out.

And I most certainly don't want you to miss out on some really great years with your children. So, join me today to find out how to stop wishing for an amazing homeschool year and actually make the year amazing!

Show notes

As a homeschool mom, you've got a ton of decisions to make every single day. And those range from what to make for dinner, what subjects you'll cover, to what you're even going to wear that day...or if you even have time to get dressed.

Each decision can be reactive and made in a fly by the seat of your pants manner or you can choose intentionality. But what does that look like in your motherhood, homeschool, and homemaking?

It took me some years of getting it wrong to find what I base every decision upon now. And let me tell you: this works perfectly every single time.

Don't delay..."steal" my system and see for yourself!

Show notes

You're probably like me in that you attended public or private school and when your years were done with...whether that was after high school or college...you were just done with what you called education.

But now, you're starting to see that what you were really burned out with was schooling. Your heart wants to turn the tide with your children and now that you have a love of learning, you want them to value education as well.

This is such a worthy pursuit since God created an amazing world and gave us the awe and wonder of it that will drive us to seek to understand Him and His creation more and more each day. Let's teach our children how to do this!

You want to be the fun homeschool mom, but there is a whole list of curriculum to-do's that you want to check off the list. None of these goals are bad, but do they allow time for other important things in your homeschool?

There can be a happy medium to being a strict planner or loosey-goosey with your homeschool. And it's also okay to lean more towards one end or the other.

Let's find that sweet spot that helps you accomplish the important academics, but also gives you margin for the building of character and relationships in your family.

The ups and downs of life are inevitable. It happened prior to homeschooling and prior to even having children. Why should life be any different now?

Well, it kind of is since you are now providing for your children's education and have little people who rely upon you 24/7.

What should a homeschool mom do when faced with little and big interruptions, life events, tragedies, and all that occurs in between? What happens to those homeschool plans? Where does the curriculum fit in?

Whether this describes a current situation in your life, you're trying to get back on your feet again, or you want to be prepared for the next event, this is the episode for you.

Show notes

Even with millions more homeschoolers this year than ever before, what you are doing is still seen as counter-cultural. Unfortunately, there will be a lot of people and things calling you to focus your heart and time elsewhere.

Along with the decision to homeschool came the decision to focus on raising your children and creating the family that reflects your values and goals. But it's really easy to get sidetracked with "shiny objects" calling for your devotion.

But what if you truly make homeschooling and the lifestyle that encircles that and motherhood your most important priority? What would your life look like? And what would the ripple effect be?

After 20 years of making raising my children a priority, I have a few thoughts that I'd love to share with you in hopes that it encourages and gives you the determination to look at these years differently.
