As a mom, you want the best for your children. They mean so much to you and this draw to homeschool is so strong in your heart. You know that it is the best educational path for your kids, as well as the life you want for your family.

Often, there are doubts and questions that creep in. These can be planted due to cultural norms that are screaming at you to take another path.

This episode is all about encouraging {and challenging} you to dig deep, expose the doubt, fear, and lies, and replace them with the plan God has planted in your heart.

Get ready to see your life differently and then to take action on your homeschool!

You might be many years away from graduating your child from homeschool, but can I tell you from personal experience that the time will begin to fly by? And before you know: you'll have a young adult stepping out into the world.

One of the reasons you have decided to homeschool is to build relationships in your family. And once they are done with their homeschool academic years, that doesn't have to end. It does shift into a new season, but you can still have a great bond with your child.

Today's episode is me sharing from my highs and lows and the mistakes that I have made in the past few years in hopes that my journey gives you insight into what's ahead for you.

Now is the time to begin getting yourself mentally and emotionally ready to begin and carry through with your plans for another year. No one can prepare you better than yourself and I want to give you a few tips to guide that preparation this summer.

But what if you could be looking forward to the high school years with your children instead of dreading it? It's completely possible to homeschool the teen years and do it successfully. I promise!

Today, we're talking recordkeeping and counting credits for tradtional and non-traditional approaches to subjects. Using my own experience, as well as what I have gleaned from others, I know this episode is going to help you see homeschooling high school in a whole new light.

We've chatted quite a bit lately about making memories with our homeschooled children during the summer. But, it's also a great time for you to catch up on things around the house.

With most curriculum lessons put on hold, you may have a little bit more margin in your days. And I know that you can fill that time up very quickly with fun things.

But, I have found that it is a wonderful feeling to go into the next homeschool year feeling like my home is a bit more under control. The projects that loom over our heads as homemakers can cast quite a shadow and add some anxiety.

What if you used some time this summer to tackle a few of those tasks? Today, I want to share with you 4 often over-looked spots that will make the biggest impact on your day to day life as a homeschool family.

Get ready to pull your hair up in a messy bun and get to work after this episode!
