• 324. What Is Homeschooling Really About? The True Purpose
    2025/01/06

    FINAL DAYS! RESET AND REFRESH WITH REIMAGINE YOUR HOMESCHOOL https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/homeschoolreset

    Picking out and using curriculum in homeschool is a lot of fun. And it should be! But, there is so much more to these years than the lessons.

    Whether it's pressure from your homeschool state regulations, your own school experience, or voices of family and friends, most of the focus is on creating the modern school system within your home. The methodology and mindset creeps in easily.

    But what if homeschool was about something much more than lessons, multiplication tables, essays, and transcripts? That would mean you are missing out on something huge if you only focus on those.

    Let's bust the notion that homeschool needs to be solely about subjects and what lessons were accomplished this week. Today is your day to begin a reset of your homeschool!

    Welcome to 2025! I hope you are excited about all that this year holds for your family and homeschooling.

    When I first began homeschooling, I thought it was only about the curriculum, lessons, and "teaching." My mind was changed as I began to see what these years with my children at home could be about.

    As we start a brand new fresh New Year, I'm sharing my must-haves for your family this year. I promise that this isn't an overwhelming list that is just one more thing to add to your list.

    Instead, it will transform your outlook and focus this year!

    RESET AND REFRESH WITH REIMAGINE YOUR HOMESCHOOL *LIMITED TIME OFFER!* https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/homeschoolreset

    As a homeschool mom, your to-do list is longer than the average normal person. And your heart is so invested in moving your family forward, all while meeting all their needs.

    Does it take Super Woman to get things done? Not really. But, it does require a plan and outline for the day.

    You've probably heard of time blocks, but those are usually focused on the business world. Could it actually work for a homeschool mom?

    Yes!

    And today, I'm going to lay out the major time blocks for a homeschool mom's day so you can get the lessons all done, meals served, naps taken, chores accomplished, and so on.

    Grab a pen and paper to take some notes!

    The truth is that someday, your children will be grown and will leave home. It's not a pleasant thought in the midst of the long full days of homeschooling. But, it comes anyway.

    And after all of these years with your homeschool children in your home, what is life like for mom afterwards?

    Over the past few years, I've been in this season of life. My kids are launching, sometimes coming back home for a season, and living their young adult lives no longer under the direction of their mother.

    I'm going to be brutally honest about my experience in today's episode. There were a few hidden realities that no one prepared me for that I want to share with you.

    My hope this that you feel equipped to someday (or now) walk through the season of your children growing up with grace and peace...and a deep satisfaction that the homeschool years were well worth it.
