jenbradshaw — Thu, 12 Sep 2013 01:32:44 +0000

This week in I received an email from a first year homeschooler who is struggling and even considering quitting homeschooling. In my first year of homeschooling I had many days of struggle and I’ll be honest, some days I wanted to give up, but I also had many amazing, miracle filled, fun days with my kids.

In today’s podcast I talked about ways to help yourself through the difficult times and how to gain the confidence and encouragement that we all need. We have taken on a very important and rewarding task but it’s so important that we have support and encouragement along the way. Listen today for steps to a more fulfilling homeschool.

Love to Homeschool Podcast Episode 2: Embracing Motherhood

jenbradshaw — Tue, 31 Jul 2012 13:53:57 +0000

Quinn and I were talking on the phone today, as we often do, and found ourselves in a very in-depth conversation about motherhood. We started out talking about how often it’s hard to get excited about the every day tasks of being a mother. Don’t get me wrong I love being a mother and love my kids every day but there are definitely days where I’m not super excited about doing the laundry, making and cleaning up after 6 people eating 18 meals or doing the bedtime routine.

After talking for a few minutes Quinn stopped and suggested we turn it into a podcast. Oh ya! I’m so glad she did because this is a great subject to open up some conversation with you about what you do every day to keep what is important in perspective. We share what we do to turn those thoughts of dread into thoughts of joy.

We also cover so many other topics in this episode including: balancing “soul purpose”, the importance of gratitude, changing out hearts to be more in alignment with motherhood, keeping perspective and much much more.

We love you and know you have so much to share so please leave your thoughts and ideas below to share with the mom’s on Homeschool Chic.
