Ever feel stuck? Have a hard time starting something new? it can be so scary/hard/intimidating/ you name it to really stretch out of your comfort zone...this year, in addition to all the craziness going on in the world I changed jobs, started homeschooling our 4 kiddos, started this podcast, AND my husband and I have a big project in the works...it's been a wild ride and sometimes I've needed to refocus on the basics to keep pushing forward...

Is there anything more frustrating that potty training a strong-willed child? Not much! I've potty trained 4 kiddos - boy and girl - from the easy going to the super strong willed and independent....here's what I learned along the way.

So much in today's episode! I'm giving a homeschool update! How'd our first month go? I'm sharing some things that surprised me as we're getting started.

Also today - want a more peaceful home? We've found that when our kids are relying on one another, instead of going head to head, our home is SO much more peaceful! So how do we encourage this with our 4 kiddos?

Can you work and homeschool? Absolutely! Is it a little crazy sometimes? You bet! I'm breaking down what an average day looks for my family. I'm a full time working, homeschool momma of 4 kids! Our children range from pre-K to 4th grade and participate in all kinds of activities - can we fit it all in? Of course! And today I'm sharing how...

The Bible tells us to guard our hearts - are we monitoring what is coming into our homes through the TV?

Is it time to break up with Netflix?

Momma, have I got a sweet one for you today! Makaya is my oldest daughter, and in addition to being the most beautiful, loving, sweet spirited, generous child, she is also teaching me every day what the Bible means when it refers to the Faith of a Child.  Today I'm sharing two precious stories from Makayla about our relationship with our Father in Heaven. I pray that they are encouraging to you.

We are officially in our first week of Homeschool!  I was blown away by all the options available for curriculum...it is so overwhelming BUT I think we found one that will work for us as we ease into this new way of life!  Masterbooks has made it SO easy to have individual subjects where we need it (math, language arts) and combine subjects where we can (science, history, art, Bible).
