  • In this episode we have Amy! An amazing momma who made the difficult decision to “retire” from her career as a full spectrum small town family physician to homeschool.

    Amy's family is really interesting because they do what she calls, "hybrid school". They live in a small town, her oldest two (8, 5) go to public school in the afternoons, and her youngest two go to daycare three days a week.

    She's a self-described homeschooling rebel 😂 (but we think she's a wonderful example of someone who's thoroughly explored the possibilities and found what works well in her family and small community).

  • We want to talk homeschooling…more specifically….what an ACTUAL day in a homeschool can look like.

    But, the reality is, every homeschool is different...because every child is different, every mom is different, and every family is different.

    So, rather than just share what Tiffany and I do in OUR homeschools, we thought it would be amazing to reach out to other moms in our community and showcase all the real possibilities for homeschooling our families!

    In this episode we have Insiya, a Muslim woman, Wife, Homeschool Mom of three children under 6, Mental Health Educator and Entrepreneur…

    She's had 10+ glorious years as a counselor and trainer in the field of mental health between the Middle East and India and if that wasn't impressive enough, she's also been a research assistant at Stanford University.

  • We’re back, and we’re talking homeschool supplies today! Just like when you set up a beautiful nursery for your brand new baby, you can over-supply your homeschool!

    The truth is, our homeschools don’t require all that much. So, we sat down and thought about what homeschool supplies we would go out and buy first if our own stashes were wiped out…

  • Have you ever considered what homeschooling might look like in another country?

    Here in the U.S., laws can vary dramatically from state to state, and so can opportunities for learning and enrichment. Can you imagine how that might look on an international scale?

    Well, our guest, Jenni Cassidy can! She's a wife, mother to 7 (including 5 graduates), and she lives and homeschools her youngest two children in the UK! She's also the co-director of Dumb Ox Learning AND she's a consultant for Mother of Divine Grace!

    Let's Give it a Go (01:00)Homeschooling in Austria (04:30)Homeschooling in the U.K. (06:35)Traveling (09:25)Mother of Divine Grace (12:50)Our Q's (16:30)More from Dumb Ox Learning (30:45)More about Jenni Cassidy

    There is another homeschool mom just like Jenni, a fellow mother of 7 and Mother of Divine Grace consultant, who Jenni met in Austria. They discovered that to continue with further education in the U.K., children need to do the exams that kids do in school (which homeschoolers really don’t want to do).

    So, Helen (the co-owner of Dumb Ox Learning), discovered that if you have an American high school diploma and a combination of AP courses and/or SAT scores, you CAN be accepted into a university in the U.K. Many people are unaware of this!

    Helen began teaching AP classes, and it just took off from there! Jenni takes care of the artistic side of the business, and Helen does some of the teaching (and they’ve recruited other teachers).

    Starting in September (of what will be their second full year), Dumb Ox Learning will be offering 10 AP courses, they offer some GCSE’s, SAT prep courses, and enrichment courses (for supplements). All the teachers are Catholic (although the AP courses are secular).

    Dumb Ox Learning includes a mix of both international teachers and students. Book clubs begin as young as 5 years old, and other classes go up from there. To learn more and see which classes will be offered this fall head to Dumb Ox Learning. Check out Dumb Ox Learning on Instagram.

  • On the last podcast, we talked about choosing curriculum and how it needs to line up with your ‘why’. Sometimes, finding your ‘why’ can feel a bit like hunting a mythical unicorn, so Brittany & I thought we’d share her process for discovering her ‘why’ each new year. (Because it changes each year, and it’s different for every family).

  • Today we have invited one of our homeschool heroes, Sarah Mackenzie here to speak with you and bring the hope, because that's what she's done for us for YEARS.

    Sarah's the author of Teaching from Rest, The Read-Aloud Family and several picture books, including Because Barbara, which officially released March 5th of this year!

    She's the host of the Read-Aloud Revival Podcast, which has been downloaded

    over 14 million times in more than 160 countries, and is the publisher at the boutique publishing house, Waxwing Books.

    Her best work, though, is at home in the Northwest, where she and her husband homeschool their six children.

    Defining Enough (02:15)Seasoned Mom Chill (09:21)More than 18 Years (13:35)Memory Stacking (20:20)A Challenge from Sarah (26:02)All the Subjects, All the Time? (27:20)Filling in the Holes (28:28)Things We MUST Know (34:57)

    More from Sarah Mackenzie

    In addition to Read-Aloud Revival, Sarah has started a Publishing Company (Waxwing Books). She wrote a few books, got an agent, and each time as they would get far in the acquisition process, the publisher would say the books were too “Classic.” So her husband suggested she start her own!

    Waxwing has three picture books out now (that can be enjoyed by large families with kids of all ages), and the newest one, Because Barbara, is about Barbara Cooney. As Sarah began digging into her life, she discovered how she was a creative force who had a zest for life that she passed on to her kids.

    The best place to find Sarah is Read Aloud Revival and the Read Aloud Revival Podcast. On her website, there’s a great Tool to help you choose a read-aloud for your family! You can also check out Waxwing Books to see what they’ve published AND what’s coming next!

  • Momma…you don't have to do it ALL on your own.

    In fact…inviting your kids into the kitchen (if this fits within your capacity) has MORE benefits than you might have imagined (the eventual cooking that will be done by NOT you is only one of a very long list!)

    We want to talk about not only those benefits...but HOW to actually get there and with us today to do that is...

    Licensed occupational therapist, with over 20 years of experience working with kids ages 3-8 AND more than 17 years in the trenches parenting her OWN children.

    She has a LONG track record of success supporting parents and their children because she meets parents where they ARE and gives them real help to gain clarity over their challenges and foster better connections with their kids.

  • What if your home could (largely) run without you?

    What if your children (both younger and older) knew how to pick up after themselves (and were part of the team that picked up after the family as a whole)?

    What if the necessary tasks of running a household were completed quicker and there was more time for FUN for everyone in the family?

    Regardless of how you feel about chores, there is an abundance of research out there proving they CAN be a positive thing (think LESS Cinderella and MORE Cheaper by the Dozen)…

    There are a MILLION ways to implement a chore system, but it IS a system, which means Brittany has one and she's been improving it every month for a LONG time.

    We're so happy to have our fellow momma of many and delightfully inquisitive friend Renee Amato with us to answer some common questions about setting up and running a chore system.

  • Our guest today is all about elevating daily life with liturgical living practices in small manageable bites...and for our mommas of many...small and manageable is music to our ears!

    She's a beautiful Catholic wife, educator, theologian, event planner, and trained ballet dancer. She specializes in the study and application of liturgical living, culture, tradition, & festivity.

    After growing up in a family full of seasonal experiences, she married into a big Catholic family that was overflowing with liturgical tradition and fell in love with sharing it with others.

    If the liturgy is for everyone, then a liturgical life is too.

    So this begs the question...what ARE liturgical living practices? What does it look like to live a liturgical life?!

  • Are you intentional about how you run your home? Or…do things just happen and ONLY when YOU do them?!

    Would you like things to run a bit smoother?

    Do you need help? A village? A little community?

    Our next guest is back by popular demand, and she's got some ideas about ALL those things (and we think you'll like them!)

    This isn't just some *expert* who's here to tell you what to do (we have a pretty strict policy against that around here)…

    She's a homeschooling mom of 6 and her family owns a dairy farm in southern Alberta.

    She's deeply connected with the unique struggles of life in regards to motherhood and has built a business by helping women create harmony, order, and cooperation within their home and family so they have energy and the mental fortitude to do all the things that God has asked of them (and the wisdom to discern what God is actually asking of them!)

    Get the Morning High-Five

    Check out her web site buildacountryhome.com

    She has a course called Stressed to Blessed: Mastering the Art of Christian Homemaking and in the course she walks you through your whole home system, set up standards for your home (what you want to do, when you want to do it), and there’s a whole lesson on communicating these standards to your children and spouse to help them get on board.

    Tessa believes that the home is the whole foundation for society, and as mothers it’s our responsibility to set a tone of order, peace, creativity, fun, harmony (siblings should get along) and she believes that children should be taught the skills to run a household.

  • The fact that Mayhem begins with May just seems too apropos...

    The end of school is mayhem...our schedules are mayhem...our minds are mayhem...our homes are mayhem...

    Today we're talking with a certified productivity and organization expert, the owner of ClutterLESS, wife, and mom of 4.

    The end of May feels like the end of the marathon…your legs are wobbly, medical attention may be needed…

    How can we set up our homes to serve us in this transition from the end of school into the summer…and what are some of the ways Kelly sets up HER home so it runs in the background and she’s not tripping over her home in addition to the other chaos happening?

    How Alliteration Can Assist YOU (03:20)Maintenance Monday (04:32)Straighten-up Saturday (06:43)Meal Prep & Planning (11:30)Final Questions (17:00)More About Kelly (24:35)

    You can find Kelly on Instagram @clutterlesskelly and on Facebook at ClutterLess Kelly.

    She JUST re-vamped her website clutter-LESS.com, and you can head there to learn about her membership, her online course, and working with her online or in-person (depending on where you’re located).

    Finally, get her Weekly System Guide!

    Remember sweet mommas,

    You are doing beautiful work!
