Do you have Lego fans in your house? Have you ever considered using them as teaching mediums? If not, then this episode is for you. If you already use Legos as teaching mediums, that is okay, stick around because you may find some new ideas that you have never thought about. My kids are huge Lego fans in part because my husband loves them so much. We use them for more than just building. I can't wait to hear your ideas on how you use Legos as teaching mediums in your home. Thank you for tuning in!

As a homeschool family, we all know that there are stigmas that come about during our time as homeschoolers. If you are thinking about homeschooling, I hope that this podcast episode gives you strength and courage to take the step out and to make that decision to homeschool your children. If you are already a homeschooler, you know the stigmas that are surrounding us as homeschool families but you too need to embrace those stigmas. There is nothing more satisfying than to watch your child grow and learn at the same time.

On today's episode, I am talking all about homeschooling during the summer months? Some families need a break and I can completely understand that. But, are you a family that homeschools during the summer months? If so, what are some of the pros and cons that you have seen in your own family?

On this episode of The Homeschool Connection, I am talking all about how to keep your children engaged in their school day. I recently ran into a conversation in a homeschool group online that made me gasp a little bit and I couldn't believe what this person was saying. Now sure, she is obviously entitled to her opinion and how she feels but, I think we can all agree that we don't homeschool because we want our days to go like public school days. She was also asking about how to keep your children engaged in their school days because she was having a hard time doing so. Now, I didn't want to tell her that it is because of how she is running her school day but I thought that it would make a great podcast episode. Enjoy!

On this episode of The Homeschool Connection, I am talking all about current events and how no matter if they are positive or negative, we can use them as teachable moments for our children. This could also spark different topics or debates with our older children and prepare them for things that could happen in the future. Depending on what is happening in the world where you live, we are all affected in one way or another. I also talk about a very important announcement regarding The Homeschool Connection website.

On this episode of The Homeschool Connection, I am talking all about the beautiful side of homeschooling and how the journey that we are taking as homeschool families is the beautiful part. Sure there are good days and bad days and we will want to rip our hair out and scream but, reminding ourselves that we won't get this time back and just how blessed we are to be able to spend it each day with our children is truly beautiful. I talk all about how this journey is beautiful because we are the ones who chose it and created it. Not anyone else. This is our time with our children to teach them about everything! I am happy to have you here tuning in.

On this episode of The Homeschool Connection, I am talking all about the homeschool burnout and ways to avoid it. I feel like if you can recognize early on that you are just not feeling it and things are getting out of control, you can use these tips and tools to rethink what you are doing and start doing something different. We as homeschool parents don't want to end up burnt out because that doesn't help our children or us in the long run.

In this episode of the brand new season of The Homeschool Connection, I am talking all about homeschooling children with special needs and the myths behind that. We have all heard them at one time or another. They sting each time we hear them and they don't do anything but add to the stress that we as parents already deal with. Please don't let that be the case. Give yourself grace but also have the patience to know that you will figure it out. You are your child's best teacher. I can't wait for you to hear all of the other episodes for this season.

In this episode of The Homeschool Connection, we are talking all about bedtime baskets. Much like the morning basket, this can be equipped with the same thing but things that your child does before bed. I talk about the different types of things that you can include and how this can help your child wind down for the evening to get ready for sleep. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on this and if you have incorporated a bedtime basket into your evening routine.

In this episode, I talk about what your homeschool space can look like. Just because you have a small space, doesn't mean that you can't provide the same type of education to your children that someone who has that Pinterest board space. I don't want you to get down on yourself and think that you can't homeschool your children because you have a smaller space than someone else. I have also attached the link to my Beginner's Guide to Homeschooling. This article is packed with information about what you as a homeschooling beginner should be focused on.

In this episode, I talk about how we have this idea of what our homeschool days will look like and that doesn't always happen. Being able to give yourself grace and sometimes your child grace to say that it's okay if we don't finish things today. There will be good days and bad days. Making sure that you have a backup plan is key and knowing what to do will help save you in the long run.

In this episode, I talk all about life schooling. What is life schooling you ask? It is when you incorporate life skills into your homeschool routine. For me, it would be anything from cooking, to cleaning, laundry, balancing your checkbook. Those are all life skills that I feel like every child needs to learn. I heard from some friends that don't homeschool and I was shocked to hear that they don't teach any of this in the public school system. This is crazy to me!! What life skills do you incorporate into your daily homeschool routine?

It is an idea that I saw on Instagram and thought it was odd at first until I really opened my mind to the idea and what it could bring to my homeschool day.

Listen to this episode to learn more and to see what kinds of ideas that I have for strewing.

I did a Q & A with my children about Minecraft the video game and wanted to highlight their answers. They had a lot to talk about and this definitely sparked a family debate between my kids about what was better and what was not about the game. They had a lot to tell me about this game. It is one that I am not versed in but I feel like it is educational and should be used.
