So often, parents jump into homeschooling and are hyper focused on the here and now. And that is completely understandable because this is a whole new way of life and education.
Today's guest, Elizabeth Santelmann of Sunshine In My Nest, is here to encourage you to take a step back and look at the long-term vision of homeschooling. As she homeschools her 3 boys, she wants to encourage moms to see the whole picture of raising children. And most importantly, pointing them towards the gospel.
She offers a unique perspective that I know you will find encouraging and challenging, in a really good way.
Find that cozy chair and grab your favorite warm drink as you soak in Elizabeth's wisdom and joy for motherhood.

Homeschool  * Home Education * Motherhood  * Homemaking * Parenting

Do you wish you could feel confident in your homeschool decisions? Are you concerned that you aren’t doing it right? Do you wish you could get answers to all your homeschooling questions? Are you struggling to balance all your roles in this season of life?

In this podcast, you will find tactical and realistic solutions to set you free from the concerns and stress of whether you are doing the right things.

My mission is to equip you in your calling to embrace and then thrive in your homeschool, motherhood, and homemaking.

If you’re ready to get out of survival mode, feel confident, and have peace in your heart and home--you’re in the right place!

Hi, I’m Leigh, a kingdom-minded wife and mom. I tried to duct tape my priorities together without the right focus for way too many years. I was busy chasing approval from others, trying to meet perceived external expectations, and flying by the seat of my pants as a homeschool mom.

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. And I’m ready to share this with you!

If you are ready to love your life as a homeschool mom and to know for certainty that you are doing the right thing for your children--this podcast is for you!

Close up that lesson book, mama, let the kids go play, it’s time for you to thrive!

Let’s work together and get your homeschool to the place you just know it can be. We all can get stuck and not know what to do, how to adjust, or if we’re even doing it right. We’ll dive in deep to all the homeschool hot topics and create the homeschool that you and your children will thrive in! ENROLL IN CLARIFY YOUR HOMESCHOOL TODAY --＞ www.clarifyyourhomeschool.com

How To

In the homeschool world, it's so easy to get caught up in "shiny object syndrome." There is always something new and exciting. This could include curriculum, styles of homeschool, books, resources, and the list goes on and on.
And all of those things can have their place. But, what is more important is to stay focused on your long-range vision for these years of home educating your children.
Nicki Truesdell joins the podcast today to get the focus back on what really matters in homeschool. She is known on social media for sharing truth and encouragement that helps parents decide to homeschool, as well as to stay the course and continue homeschooling.
I know that you are going to love what Nicki has to say, so grab that load of laundry that needs to get folded and enjoy!

Homeschool parents jump into homeschooling with high hopes and expectations and an "ignorance is bliss" mentality. And there is nothing wrong with that. That was totally me.
But, along the way, as the years go by, we grow in knowledge and experience about how to home educate.
Today's episode is me pulling back the curtain and showing you some of the things that I wish I had done differently. Yes, our missteps grow us into the homeschool mom we need to be. But, these are the 10 things I wish someone had shared with me when I began researching homeschool over 13 years ago. If I had known about these things much earlier, I would have become a more confident and enjoyable homeschool mom sooner.

There are definitely some homeschool years that are more difficult than others. But, as a whole, most should be pretty good years of home educating your children.
The problem is when moms expect a year to be amazing, but don't put in the necessary time for it to be amazing. It doesn't matter what your style of homeschool, if you aren't intentional, you're missing out.
And I most certainly don't want you to miss out on some really great years with your children. So, join me today to find out how to stop wishing for an amazing homeschool year and actually make the year amazing!
