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

Boys and girls are naturally quite different. Our culture tries to blur the lines and say otherwise, but homeschool moms experience the difference every single day.

Sure, there is a spectrum of personalities and inclinations, but on the whole, boys have different needs than girls do.

Durenda Wilson is the mother of 8 and grandmother of 11. She is a wife and homeschool mom who shares her experience and encouragement through books and her podcast.

Today, Durenda and I cover some hot topics abour raising boys, from their propensity to discuss "gross" subjects, their activeness, aggressiveness, and how moms can raise them according to Biblical standards.

Show notes

Apparently this is a hot topic issue nowadays. Who would have thought?

Not me!

Today, I am sharing how my family has lived on a single-income for 20+ years. Sure, it looked different than those with dual incomce. But, we never felt like anything was lacking in our lives. We actually have thrived.

My hope is that sharing how my homeschool family of 5 came into this type of lifestyle and how we've managed to provide for our needs for all these years is an encouragement to you. Whether you are considering living off a single income or already are, we're going to get a little raw and vulnerable.

Show notes

It really is no secret that the introduction of technology to children is having a detrimental effect upon them, as well as upon society. But media and our culture is screaming at parents that it's okay to hand off a phone with total internet access to children.

"Everyone else is doing it."

But are they?

Well, not my family.

James and I have been very intentional about this decision and how we navigate the introduction to technology and the internet to our children. Now that we have a young adult and teens, we can see the outcome of our choices.

Today, I am sharing our story in hopes that it inspires, encourages, and spurs you on to make intentional decisions for your family.

231. Create & Raise Independent Homeschool Learners That Don't Need Mom to Teach Them Every Lesson Feb 19, 2024

Show notes

The 24/7 of motherhood and home education is making you wonder if you're really cut out for this. The constant needs just for kids to survive and get through the day is enough to fill all of your time.

Then you add the homeschooling time that is full of lessons for different ages and you are bouncing from one child to the next.

Is this really manageable?

Well, what if there was a way to show your children how to take ownership of their education? There is!

Our culture has become so dumbed down and numb to the desire to learn. But you get to bring it back and instill a love of learning into your children.

Not only that, but you get to show them how they can learn not only for their years in homeschoool, but for their entire lives.

Are you ready to take a ton of notes and be inspired to think about your homeschooling differently? If so, hit play on your podcast app!

Show notes

Isn't it a little ironic that a homeschool mom pours her whole heart into educating her children and at the end of the day she wonders, "Am I doing enough?'

But we've all been there or are currently there. I have a sneaking suspicion that you are there right now. And that is okay.

I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing to wonder if you are doing enough. It's what you do with those thoughts that matters the most.

But let's have a heart to heart because I have 4 questions that I want you to answer today. They'll reveal the truth behind whether you really are doing enough in your homeschool or not.

Grab that warm cup of your favorite drink and your journal and let's have a chat.
