DESIGN YOUR FAMILY'S UNIQUE HOMESCHOOL THAT YOU'LL LOVE! https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/blueprint

It's common knowledge that homeschooling includes academic work. And as a homeschool mom, you know that you get to choose how and when that occurs in your home education.

But there is so much more to homeschool than the books and curriculum.

I hadn't realized when I began 15 years ago how much this one big shift in our family would affect our lives. And as I began to see all of the potential in each year and the difference it was making in my children, I caught a bigger vision for this time.

Not only that, but I realized that these years could rewrite my story. They could change the trajectory of our family and our children's path.

May today's episode inspire you to think and dream bigger!

Nowadays, we take for granted that we can easily switch to homeschooling and continue for as long as we want to. But, the early homeschoolers didn't have that assurance. It took a few brave parents to step into the unknown and create a path for us to follow.

Zan Tyler is one of those women! She and her husband made the decision to homeschool before anyone even knew what that was. They became trailblazers in creating the freedom that we so easily enjoy today.

After all those years of homeschooling and watching her children grow and succeed, she has continued to encourage homeschool moms. Her perspective in today's episode on keeping our eyes on what truly matters will greatly encourage you.

It is so exciting to begin a new homeschool year. The planners, curriculum, art supplies, and so on are shiny and new and the possibilities seem endless.

But, the hurdle is to keep the perspective in mind that whatever you plan, needs to be sustainable. Because when the fun wears off (and it will), have you created a plan that you can continue with throughout the entire homeschool year?

Grab a pen and paper or open the notes in your phone to write down the few ideas that you think will help you create a sustainable homeschool, so that you can carry through with it day in and day out.

Your questions are amazing and I had so much fun answering these. I love delving into a variety of topics and today's episode covers so much.

Even if you don't find yourself in any of these circumstances, I think it really helps us to understand other homeschool moms better when we stop, listen, and place ourselves in their position. We all really are trying to do right by our own family and the best place to find ourselves is cheering one another on!

Do you feel the weight of the world upon your shoulders as a homeschool mom? You are responsible for, not only the physical growth of your children, but now their education and the discipleship of them 24/7.

It's a lot. And you're probably putting even more pressure upon yourself to get it all done and to get it all right. With just enough effort, you can be the best homeschool mom out there. Right?

But, what if the idea of being a super homeschool mom is something we've made up? What would it look like to shatter that notion and to actually just live in reality? Would that be enough?

Let's explore what life could look like on the other side...

Most homeschool moms don't plan to make home education complicated. But, it can easily end up there with all of the input from others and the mile high list of things you want to read, do, learn, and experience with your children.

Planning is one thing that can cause confusion and complication. Your homeschool bestie does it one way, your favorite blogger does something different, and your favorite author has a completely opposite way to plan.

And somewhere in there, the term reverse planning was whispered. Could that help? Maybe. But at the least, I hope today's episode gives you some ideas to uncomplicate your homeschool year so you aren't exhausted and overwhelmed.

Whether you're brand new to homeschooling and just trying to figure things out or you're a seasoned homeschool mom who needs a breath of fresh air for this school year, styles of homeschooling are a great way to get your footing.

Nobody says you have to be a purist. But, you can be if you want to. It really all comes down to what is best for your family...right now. That means your homeschool style could remain the same for all your home education years or you might see fit to change things up every few years.

Let's explore the main homeschool styles in today's episode. This will give you a little taste of each to pique your interest. And before we close out, we'll wade into some "controversy" in the homeschool world that we all have an opinion about.

Grab your homeschool planner or notebook and a pen for this one!
