One of the biggest issues we've not only faced in our own homeschools but also hear about all the time from other moms is the overwhelm of getting to all the things each day and fighting kids to do them.

Now, we're not just referring to arguing and outright fighting, but the silent fight of mentally competing with all the to-dos in our heads and kids who have gone to the bathroom 10 times already or sat for 37 minutes just making doodles on their page, or left to "get something" only for you to realize they've been missing for 2 years.

It's all these silent little fights that will wear down a homeschool mom to her very core.

We know. Believe me.

The best way to combat this is to simplify.

Simplify not only what's on your plate but also what's on your children's plate so they can work without you being the belly button.

Here is the BEST way we've found to do just that...

It's January, give yourself a high five...we've made it this far mommas!

It's funny when you become an entrepreneur as a mom because it's amazing how much overlap there is between being the CEO of a business AND being the CEO of your home, family, and in our case our homeschools as well.

We are always looking at how we can learn from these overlaps and how good practices in one can serve in the others.

In this case, we were looking at how annual reports and statements could actually be really powerful in our homeschools as well.

It's the halfway mark...and there are probably a few of us (or maybe all of us) are wondering, "What on earth have we accomplished in our homeschools this year?" Or worse...feeling guilt over everything we HAVEN'T accomplished. 

We know we've spent HOURS on math, language arts, and allllll the activities, field trips, and projects, but it's still completely normal to feel like we haven't done enough... 

Enter the profit and loss statement...

Traditionally, a profit and loss statement includes a business's total revenue, expenses, gains, and losses, arriving at net income for a specific accounting period.

But put your teacher glasses on and it really makes sense to do the same for our homeschools.

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.

Insiya, thank you for chatting with us today!

But here's the thing, every homeschool is different...because every child is different, every mom is different, and every family is different.

In this episode, we have Erin, a Navy wife, mom of four beautiful girls, and a high school art teacher turned homeschooler.

In this episode, we have Maddy, wife to James, and Mama to 6 kiddies (as she calls them). She lives in New Zealand in her House Bus and 'road-schools' her kids as they travel and explore their beautiful country.

She's a lover of holistic health & natural remedies, tiny living, dark chocolate, reading, being adventurous, all things pregnancy, birth & motherhood, especially in the context of God's amazing design…
