Simplifying Your Schedule

Have you ever been in a season where you felt overwhelmed and so busy that you wonder how you even got to this point? Does your schedule dictate your entire life? Are you running from one activity to the next without any downtime?  Join us as we discuss our tendency to fill every spot in our planner, and ways to lean into a more restful and simple season of homeschooling. 

Brittany and Kami redefine what assessments can look like in our homeschools, differentiate between public and homeschool assessment methods, and explore different ways to figure out if your child is learning the material you’re presenting. 

In this episode, Kami and Brittany talk about practical steps to evaluate where you are in your homeschool in regards to the bigger picture: the vision you have for your family. Whether you are needing vision to start out in your homeschool journey or you need to re-evaluate at the beginning of the year or you’ve gotten off track somewhere, this is for you.

Brittany and Kami host their first book discussion! They are reading "Teaching from Rest: A Homeschooler's Guide to Unshakable Peace" by Sarah Mackenzie and sharing the wisdom they've learned from the book. This episode covers the book's Introduction and Part 1. If you haven't started reading the book, it's not too late to join in!

Kami and Brittany discuss perfectionism and how it can plague both student and parent when it comes to beginning or continuing your homeschool journey. 

Our friends Carly and Casie join us as we talk about community — what it means to us, ways we’ve experienced it, how to find it, and how to create it. We all need support on this homeschool journey. Come along and figure out how to find your people! 

Welcome to Season 3 of the Deeply Rooted Homeschool podcast. In this episode, we discuss the necessity of reflecting on your past homeschool year as well as things to consider for your upcoming year. We hope you’ll be encouraged as we offer several questions to ask yourself, and we talk about how your choice of curriculum is possibly the last question to ask.  The Deeply Rooted Homeschool is edited by Levi Gilbert.

In this episode, we are joined by mom of four, Kelly Hightower. In each year she has homeschooled, Kelly’s family has experienced chaos — ranging from pregnancy, to having a newborn, to a house fire. Kelly explains how the Lord has met them in their chaos and given them really beautiful moments and so much wisdom.
