When we choose to homeschool, it's not "just" homeschooling for most of us.  In addition to learning stuff from some books, what we're really after is freedom, and excellence - on some level that is meaningful to our families.  That means that choosing subjects isn't "just" choosing what to learn.  how can we cover all of our bases, pursue all of our passions, AND keep from feeling completely overwhelmed?  In this episode, we're walking through the Minimalist Homeschooling mindset of focus to keep our homeschooling subjects simple and valuable.

Quality goals help give us confidence, clarity, and direction.  Without good goals, it's hard to create the life, or homeschool that we truly want.  Despite these great reasons, we often shy away from setting goals because, let's face it, they require hard work, maybe we feel like we don't have the time, or we assume that failure is inevitable for any number of reasons.  In this episode, I'm going deep into goals: the step-by-step of how to create them, love them, and achieve them!  You can create simple goals that make a difference, and your first step starts now...

Let's face it, homeschooling takes *STUFF* to a new level - one that combines the emotional drive to provide the "best," with pressure to do it "right," and a seemingly infinite number of resources that could potentially be "best," or "right."  This is a quintescential Minimalist Homeschooling episode: it's filled from start to finish with practical ways to cut through the homeschool clutter from now on.

What do you do when you already have more than you can use?  How do you manage the potentialities like "what if we do need it later?"  How many books are too many, or just enough, anyway?  How do you keep from adding more to your homeschool?  And, how do you stay sane with all. the. things. you already have, or all the things you could have?  These are the questions we're going to tackle so that you can unload the burden of stuff to gain space, and freedom in your homeschool.
