Show notes

When I tell people that I homeschool my 10 children, they nearly always say, "You must be very organized!" I smile and pinch my husband so he doesn't reveal the truth that I'm not a terribly organized person. Even though I have never used a fancy planner to plot out my life out on paper, I have discovered three key secrets to managing my large family homeschool. Maybe they will help you, too!

Homeschooling on Any Budget Level

Many families are hesitant to take up homeschooling simply because they view the option as very expensive. It's true that some people spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on homeschooling, but that doesn't need to be the case for everyone. Just because you are unable to purchase the latest and greatest packaged curriculum along with all the supplements and add-ons doesn't mean you can't homeschool.

230 | Where Do You Turn in Times of Stress? (Wendy Speake) May 19, 2020

Show notes

We've heard it said, "These are unprecedented times", but stress is nothing new. How are you doing with your stress these days? How is it affecting your home and your homeschool? Today's short episode challenges listeners to take inventory. Are you taking your stress to social media as the form of escapism? Is your pantry where you hide? Do you turn for comfort in comfort food these days, rather than turning to the great comforter? Or maybe you are self-medicating with a nightly glass of wine. Today's we're turning to God's Word for our help in times of trouble.

231 | Audioblog: Sonlight Helps You Shift from Pandemic Schooling to Homeschooling May 14, 2020

Show notes

228 | Family Hobbies Make the Best Unit Studies (Wendy Speake with Julie Kieras) May 12, 2020

Show notes

This conversation may be my favorite one to date! We are diving in and talking about unit studies — but not as something more to add to our already too-full plates. We're talking about slowing down and taking our time to learn more about the things that we already enjoy as a family. I hope you'll be as blessed by this conversation as I was!

229 | Audioblog: Deschooling is an Important Part of Homeschooling May 07, 2020

Show notes

It's my hope that you'll find some tips here that help you to understand deschooling and all that it can do for you and your child. Yes, I included "you" here, because sometimes, parents need to deschool as much as their children do.

226 | Moving Mountains as a Family (Wendy Speake with Kristen Welch) May 05, 2020

Show notes

Life is an incredible journey with ups and downs. We soar, struggle, scale and stumble, and often stand at the edge of cliffs, afraid to step into the unknown, unsure of where we will land. But instead of running away, we are called by God to stand firm, muster up what faith we can, and take a step. Because we were made to move mountains.

In today's podcast interview, Kristen Welch calls us to step out in faith and climb the mountain right in front of us — not because we are good enough or adequate or able, but because God makes a way where there is no way. Of course this applies to our homeschooling dreams, to our families, marriage and raising children. But what else can God called you (and your family) to be part of out in the world today?

This episode is about all that, and so much more. It's a joy to have author Kristen Welch with us on the Homeschool Solutions Show.
