Hi, homeschool mom👋
Are you having a hard time dealing with the amount of work you think you NEED to get done in your homeschool? The struggle, the tears, the frustration, and trying to pound it out every day. We're here to ensure you that no educational setting, ESPECIALLY your homeschool, has to function this way.
Learn how to cut out what is NOT needed to have easier days and still get the important work accomplished. Listen in to find out FIVE reasons why planning to finish work of QUALITY rather than QUANTITY is the best way.
For help implementing these or any homeschool strategy, book a DISCOVERY CALL with us and see if we're a good fit for you. We'd be honored to be a part of your journey.
Blessings!
Kim & Jenny

Hi, mama! If you've floundered getting a morning routine, you'll find easy ways to start the day on the right foot in this episode.
Christian Homeschooling only gets better when you ask the Holy Spirit to take over as soon as you start each day.
You'll hear why morning devotionals WITH your kids in the Word might be the best method for an effective routine.
You'll get specific ways to make it easy to create time with Him each day before you hit the academics.
We're praying this inspires you to add morning devotionals to your homeschool lesson plans and that they strengthen your family's faith.

Hey, homeschool mama!
In this episode, learn about choral reading and how to use it with your beginning readers in your homeschool language arts time. Choral reading helps bridge that gap when your kids love to LISTEN to you read to them BUT they're not yet ready to try to read the words on their own.
This topic comes from a question from one of our community members during our Office Hour strategy call. Listen in on how we helped her, a homeschooling mom just like you.
Are you ready to get YOUR homeschool problems answered like this mama did? Get your Office Hour time with us and let us help you find answers to your specific homeschool struggles.
We're cheering you on and ready to help!
