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

You just read the word year round homeschooling and probably got a little weak in the knees. It's okay. That's a very typical response.

But what if I told you that you already homeschool year round and an adjustment in thought and your calendar can be the solution to all those bad days? It's true!

I know that the day in and day out of a homeschool mom is all encompassing and sitting down to look at a calendar isn't high on your priority list. This episode is sure to make you rethink your decision to put this off. And a little more margin, freedom, and peace is sitting on the other side of this one decision.

Grab a piece of paper to take a few notes on because this episode is jam-packed with ideas for you!

Show notes

This is definitely not my usual homeschool mom content, but I feel like today is the day to share this part of my story.

Maybe you can relate. Or maybe it will help you relate to a loved one.

I didn't subscribe to the "mommy wine culture," but I was using alcohol as a way to privately lessen the stress and frustration of motherhood. It was a part of my life here and there...until it wasn't.

Show notes

Without a plan, the day as a homeschool mom can really take a crazy turn. And then, you're looking back on the day as your climb into bed and wonder what in the world happened.

It's inevitable that things will come up throughout the day...and the night as a mom. But, it's so much easier to tackle the unexpected and the usual ups and downs with children, when you have two specific anchors to your day.

These two unique times in your day can make or break how you walk through all the other hours of your day.

Today's episode will explain when those times are and how to ground them as your anchors so that you, as the homeschool mom, can achieve the balance you are craving in your life.

Grab that pen and paper and get ready to take notes so you can put together your own plan with what you'll learn in this episode.

Show notes

Being a mom is the greatest part of your life. You didn't realize how much you could love and care for a child until you had one of your own.

Homeschooling promises all kinds of amazing time with your children. But then, the reality of day in and day out hits. And all of the teaching and instruction is not fun.

You actually find yourself constantly frustrated, annoyed, and even angry at your children because of the curriculum.

Is it time to quit homeschooling?

We'll unpack this tenuous subject and how you can get to the other side of these negative emotions that are keeping you in a vicious cycle. There is hope on the other side! I promise.

Show notes

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the amount of worksheets that comes with your curriculum? Or maybe your child is giving you grief and making progress difficult?

When you were in school, worksheets were how your teacher knew whether you had mastered the material. But, you're looking at homeschool and wondering if it's really that necessary.

Self-doubt creeps in and makes you wonder if it really would be okay to do away with some (or all) the worksheets. It's this tug of war that's going on inside you that I want to address today.

First, we'll answer the question as to whether you need to do every worksheet. Maybe some worksheets? Or no worksheets.

You'll leave this episode feeling more confident in your decision and with some other creative ideas to figure out if learning is really happening in your homeschool.
