HER HOME & HEART / Reducing Overwhelm for Christian Homeschool Moms

Ever feel overwhelmed by the pressure to raise well-rounded, confident independent kids, who thrive as adults with amazing real-world skills and abilities? It can feel like there's a million things they should know how to do – but where do you even begin, and why can’t you find a good homeschool curriculum to help you do this? The good news is, teaching life skills can be a fun and rewarding experience for both you and your children, and can bring your family SO CLOSE as a team! Charlotte Mason emphasized the importance of practical living skills alongside a rich academic education, and it does not need to be difficult to weave into family life. Today we have the pleasure of a conversation with Katie Kimball, the creator of Kitchen Stewardship and Kids Cook Real Food. Katie, a former teacher and a mother of four, shares her secrets to breaking down essential life skills into manageable steps, and making them a natural part of your homeschool day (or any day!). The conversation explores the importance of teaching children life skills, and how it benefits them overall by growing self-confidence, independence, and resilience. Katie details her approach to equipping kids with critical thinking skills, and shares the benefits of including kids in productive activities like cooking and chores. She emphasizes the practical benefits of nurturing children's intrinsic motivations, and how these efforts contribute to a stronger family connection and a prepared journey into adulthood. So ditch the overwhelm and get excited to empower your kids with the confidence they need to thrive! XOXO, Katie P.S.

Have you ever felt like you are just too tired or too introverted for this homeschooling journey that you're on? But you know you actually long to thrive and enjoy it, you want to look back and realize you've created beautiful memories in your life and your children's lives! I remember the days of being a new homeschool mom. My kids were little, and it was a journey I hadn't anticipated. And I wished so much that there was somebody who could help me see the vision of what homeschooling could be for my family. Someone who would have been able to help me not fear. I wished for someone to model this life to me. How could we balance a life where we homeschooled, did all the "mom stuff" and possibly even took on some side work or hobbies? I wanted someone to show me, "How do we do the food here? What's a snapshot like of the teenage season? Can you help me learn how to control mom anger?" I really wanted to understand these things. But I didn't know anybody I could talk to. If YOU are READY to learn these things that I wanted to know so badly at the beginning of my journey, or you just want some encouragement through hearing two veteran homeschool moms talk about how it's all worked out in the end for us.... this is a great episode for you. I'm talking with Leigh from Little By Little Homeschool. She is a precious friend and fellow podcaster. She and I share our hearts and our experiences from the nearly decade and a half of homeschooling we have each done. Collectively think we've got almost 30 years under our belts.
