Do you feel overwhelmed or find yourself constantly second-guessing your homeschool decisions? The Little by Little Homeschool podcast offers practical, realistic encouragement for Christian homeschool moms, helping them move forward with clarity, confidence, and peace. I'm Leigh, a homeschool mom who spent years trying to hold it all together, chasing expectations and striving for the "right" way to homeschool. Over time, I learned that building a homeschool rooted in faith, peace, and intention changes everything. Each episode explores homeschool hot topics, simple mindset shifts, and practical adjustments to help you create a homeschool where both you and your children can flourish – little by little.

443. How To Go From Waking Up Feeling "Ugh" To Having A Great Homeschool Day

We all have those days that just don't start off on the right foot. Our attitude is a bit off and there is an inner {and sometimes outer} groan about the homeschool day ahead.

Every homeschool mom knows that the tasks before them are important, but it just doesn't feel like today is going to be a good day. And you find yourself here, listening to this episode.

Well, I'm glad you are here because my goal is to help you go from waking up with an "ugh!" feeling to then look back on the day as you climb into bed and be happy about how you were able to turn the day around.

It really isn't a matter of "if" you'll have these days, it's more like "when." But, don't settle for bad days when there are solutions to turning things around!

Let's have a little heart to heart...

442. Q&A: Homeschooling A Strong-Willed Child, How Many Children To Have, And Telling Your Doctor You Homeschool

Just when I think there could not be anything I haven't answered already, you show up with new questions! And I love it!

Let's tackle a few questions submitted by homeschool moms, just like you. These topics cover homeschooling a strong-willed child, how many children to have, and broaching the discussion with your doctor about homeschooling.

I promise to share my honest thoughts and then, I want you to consider your own circumstances and pray for clarity to determine where you stand.

441. What's Next For The Homeschool Mom When It's Over?

The one constant in life is that it will change. And one day, you will find yourself at the end of your homeschool years and wonder what is next.

It can suddenly sneak up on you, mostly because homeschool moms should be die-hard until the end, pouring their heart into it until the very last day. I've heard from moms who were caught off guard by this sudden shift. And I don't want you to feel like the rug was pulled out from under you.

Whether you are in year one, the middle of your homeschool career, or about to graduate your final teen in a few months, my hope is that this episode gives you hope and equips you to step into the next season with peace.

Warm up that cup of coffee again and let's chat!

440. School Is A Full-Time Job, But Homeschool Should Be Different

You know that homeschooling is supposed to be different. But, it's so easy to fall into old familiar patterns in hopes that your kids will get all the education that they need.

In the process, you can miss out on the huge benefits of having them home with you every day.

Today's episode is all about pulling back the veil of thinking homeschool is not enough for your children. Let's expose what you don't need to do in order to see the beautiful possibilities ahead of you.

439. You HAVE To Be Proactive Homeschool Parents In The Culture War

Gone are the Little House on the Prairie days when we, as homeschool parents, didn't have to try and be a step ahead of the culture. Even when we try to create a safe and innocent childhood, we can't stick our heads in the sand.

This is not an episode about fear. Rather, it's about encouraging you to be the first ones to reach your children. You GET to teach them about how to live in this world, but not be of it. And this is a great and awesome responsibility, which can be done along with maintaining their innocence.

However, it can often feel easier at the time to abdicate or ignore this role. Why? Because it is hard and requires intention and perseverance .

We won't be perfect at it, but our children will benefit from any and all ways that we are intentional.

Let's link arms and do the work that God has called us to!
