131 // Confidently Create a Stress Free Affordable Homeschool Joyfully Charlotte Mason Style, with Homeschooling Veteran Daphne Boyd

Are you longing to homeschool, but terrified that it might be too hard? You don't know how homeschooling even works? Maybe it feels big and overwhelming, and you just feel ANXIOUS about it? How do you know if you or your child will enjoy it? Today Daphne Boyd and I are opening up our lives and homes, and inviting you into our kitchens, family rooms, and school rooms. We want you to see the potential treasure that lies within any homeschool and family on the homeschooling journey. Homeschooling is so much more than your average classroom education. It’s an amazing opportunity to give our children the individualized learning experience they need, and to teach real-life skills, while incorporating our family values and beliefs into their lessons too! If you are a fan of the Charlotte Mason philosophy, you will love this episode! With homeschooling comes loads of opportunities to discover and chase a child's true interests and passions, and to ignite a love of learning in them that will stay with them lifelong. There are SO many resources to use today too, like online programs, science kits, field trips and travel, and many extracurricular activities that put a bright spark of deep learning into education, unlike what is available outside of the home. Grab a notebook and pen, because we don't hold back any secrets that we have learned on our journey to becoming homeschooling veterans. Let's get ready to unpack this exciting journey full of possibilities! XOXO, Katie Connect with Me: https://bit.ly/m/HerHomeandHeart

Jesus Lover and Daughter of the King, Wife to a Hunk, Mama of 5 treasures (with a pair of out-of-the-box movers and shakers), Special Needs Advocate, Non-toxic Lifestyle Junkie, and Homeschool Fanatic. For years I struggled to feel confident amid the overwhelming chaos of daily life. I was frantically searching for answers to mysterious chronic illnesses, neurodiversity in my children, and special needs. I felt desperate to know how to educate and train my children perfectly, longing to keep a Pinterest-worthy home, while trying to meet my unrealistic internal expectations --and keep up with military spouse life. I felt like a hamster running on a never ending wheel. I finally realized that to create the foundations in my family which I KNEW I was called to create, something BIG had to change. I did not want to wake up someday to regret and sorrow. I longed for simple solutions to living this challenging but rich special needs life with purpose, while fulfilling my calling to motherhood, health, homeschooling, and homemaking. SO, with God's grace and guidance, I have learned to reduce the overwhelm and I am still on this journey today. I can’t wait to share what I continue to learn with YOU! This journey toward God’s best for your family will increase your confidence, and set a firm foundation for your generations to come. Breathe deeply, Mama. Let the kid’s go play. Because it’s time for you to CHASE that JOY and PEACE you have been longing for! Connect! hello@herhomeandheart.com Grow! herhomeandheart.net/free All the INSIDER goodies for you! PLUS COMMUNITY
