  • Inspirational and full of wisdom

    I’ve enjoyed listening to your podcasts as you offer a lot of wisdom. I especially enjoyed listening to How to Combat Loneliness As a Homeschool Mom. You offered a lot of great suggestions as to how to make friends. I especially liked the one about reaching out to retired homeschool moms. This is something I’ve considered doing just recently. Thanks for the suggestions!

  • Some good but behind the times

    There’s some great episodes on here about time management, anxiety issues, homeschooling challenges, etc.

You’re making it harder for those of us who want to homeschool our c... more

The Importance Of Music In Child Development
Q: What if those homeschooling parents listening to us do not have a musical background?
Music's foundational blocks are similar to language, and parents can engage in teaching music despite not having formal training.
Meal Planning For Homeschoolers
Q: I want to know, because you were a dietitian and a chef, was meal planning something that just came easily for you?
Yes, but I gained a lot more empathy for busy moms once I had kids, realizing how challenging it can be.
Meal Planning For Homeschoolers
Q: So if we have a listener right now, and I bet we do, who hasn't done much meal planning, where is the best place for them to start this very sanity-saving habit?
Start with having a plan, like jotting down meals for the week; that alone will save hours of scrambling.

Q: What role does doubt play in spiritual learning?
Doubt is a natural part of faith, and acknowledging it allows for deeper exploration and understanding of scripture and personal beliefs.
