Hi Homeschool Mom!
Do you have questions about reading?
In this episode, we talk about:
-What to do if your child is resistant to reading
-Where to start with a preschool aged child to teach reading and writing
-How to teach those energetic kiddos who are ready to read, but just can't sit still for long
Listen in for some answers to these questions, and if you have MORE questions about reading, homeschool curriculum, how to start homeschooling (or anything else!), join us at our weekly homeschool community meetups to get those questions answered.
Blessings,
Kim and Jenny

This is an episode rerelease from November 2023 -- Enjoy!
Hi there homeschool mom!
Are you finding it difficult to be thankful in your current circumstances?
We get it! Homeschooling is never easy, but as our world has gotten increasingly more uncertain, depressing, unstable, and hello EXPENSIVE! over the past few years, the days can be difficult, and you can find yourself in a pit of despair on a daily basis if you don't have a solution to combat it.
We have found ourselves in this pit many days, especially when we were not connecting with God regularly and other Godly-minded women to speak life into us and get us out of our heads.
So how DO we keep a heart of gratitude in all circumstances, including our homeschool days?
Listen in to find out and be encouraged...and BTW, you may never look at 💩 the same way again! ;)
Blessings,
Kim and Jenny

Hi Homeschool mom!
Are you raising your kids to stand on the foundation of the truths of salvation with Jesus? Do you question the current trend of discussions around climate change and our need to save the planet? Is it confusing and overwhelming to talk to your kids about this in light of God’s good plan, let alone add it into your homeschool science plans?
Be enlightened! In this episode we share details about what the Bible really says about climate change. We use Answers In Genesis book “Climate Change for Kids and Parents, too!” by Ken Ham and Jessica DeFord to explain what you need to know to help you confidently teach your kids about God’s plan for our planet.
We pray this brings clarity to the world’s burdensome message that we must “Save the Planet”.❤️
God bless,
Kim and Jenny
