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.

165. How I Am Educating My Teen Homeschooler This Summer: The Plan We Created Together Jul 03, 2023

Show notes

Summer break from homeschool doesn't have to mean putting education up on the shelf. It's actually the opposite!

These next few months are perfect to dive into those subjects and topics that you didn't get to. As well as to set some new challenges and projects up.

In my family's homeschool lifestyle, we see the teen years as a time to explore, learn and hone skills, try new things, and take risks. We may do life differently than the average family, but we are aligned with our vision and goals.

Today, I am sharing the plan that my 15 year old and I came up with for his summer. My goal in sharing this with you, along with insight on how this has worked in our family for many years, is to inspire and create some excitement for your children's summer.

Grab a notebook and pen and get ready to write down some ideas. And then to come up with your plan for the summer!

Show notes

Homeschool moms tend to focus almost entirely on the upbringing and education of our children. And that is a noble and honorable use of our time and energy.

However, the only possible way to find balance in your long to-do lists and to accomplish your days with love, peace, and grace is when you are filled up spiritually.

Lacking patience? Kindness? Contentment?

Are you struggling with your why for life? Or wanting to infuse faith into your children?

There are two specific habits that will take your spiritual life from non-existent or blah to one filled with faith. And that is what you’ll hear today.

Grab your favorite smoothie and find a place to put your feet up for a few minutes. Let’s take a journey into my story because I know it will inspire you to make the shifts and changes your heart is yearning for.

Show notes

Hey, Friend!

This is a tricky one, right? Your homeschool child doesn’t see you as their teacher and “just” their mom. How do you get over that hurdle so that home education is a success?

From my studies of the school system and what exactly is meant by teacher, teaching, education, and mom, I’m not going to hold back in breaking this down. But, on the flip side, there are a few very practical steps you can take to turn this concern around.

The goal is you and your child thriving in your homeschool lifestyle and it may be hard to see that right now, but listen in, begin to take the steps shared about, and watch things begin to change.

I am so excited for your family to make this shift and see it for what it is. And then find your way on the other side of the mom vs. teacher debate!
