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.
~Be enlightened,
Kim & Jenny

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!

Hey homeschool mom!
Are you overwhelmed by the multitude of homeschool methods to decide from? Let us help you find the best fit for your family.
Our families have done a little bit of everything, but the Charlotte Mason method was one we kept in at least one subject area throughout our homeschool journey.
In this episode, you'll get a seat at the table with Kim and her dear friend Wendy who reflect on their experiences with the Charlotte Mason method.
You'll love the FUN story of how we met and our takeaways of how the Charlotte Mason-type experiences we had with our kids have helped them currently as young adults.

Hey homeschool mom!
Are you overwhelmed with the homeschool method you should choose for your family?
It can be tough to figure out what the best answer is, but one key thing to remember is that you are never stuck one way or another -- you can always change! Our families have done a little bit of everything, but my initial start into homeschool was through a hybrid model.
In this episode, we will discuss the definition of hybrid homeschooling, some pros and cons of this method, and my experience at a school like this.
Listen in, and we pray this blesses you!
