“When my oldest was born, my husband and I decided to homeschool our growing family. Public school was not an option. How hard could homeschooling be, right? For me, it became one of the hardest concepts to wrap my mind around, especially as our family grew and having multiple children of all ages to juggle. The only model of school I had to go off of was public school from my past, and let me tell you, epic fail! I discovered quickly that my “style” was completely “wrong”, and was fighting myself trying to fit this impossible mold for my children. I was trying to keep up with other families around me who followed a very strict classical approach, but could not keep the pace (I am very creative, and tend to do things outside the box). I was at my whits end. Done. But again, public school was not an option, and neither was private school. So, I had no choice but to press on, every day feeling like a total failure at what I once imagined would be the easiest thing about mothering….I was desperate for help, but my specifics were 1.) MUST be a Christian source, and 2.) MUST be a mom who had experience homeschooling multi ages AND 3.) successfully graduated them. GUESS WHAT!? God answered my prayers and He led me to Leigh and the Little By Little Homeschool podcast. Thank you JESUS!!!! She has brought so much wisdom, hope, and insight into my life- for the first time I am EXCITED to school my kids. I look forward to the adventures that come with every new day. Schooling my children has become the greatest highlight of my life, and I am beyond blessed to get this opportunity to be with my kids. Every topic/podcast that I listen to is like a brand new light bulb turning on into what has been one of the darkest places in my life. Thank you Leigh for creating this podcast. You have truly touched my life, and I am eternally grateful!”
