(Custom topics available upon request.)
- The Highly Distracted Homeschool Mom
Description:As homeschool moms, we have a lot of things vying for our attention and it’s easy to feel like we’re being pulled in different directions at all times. In this
session, we are going to look at practical strategies that you can use every day as you manage your homeschool & other daily tasks. These strategies will help you focus and be more productive whether you’re a homeschool mom with ADHD or just struggle with organization and staying on task.
- Helping Your Forgetful Learner
Description: Do you have a child who would lose their head if it wasn’t attached? Are your students struggling with misplacing their books, forgetting assignments, or memorizing facts? You are not alone, in this workshop, we will look at practical tips to help you encourage and equip your forgetful learners so that they can not only survive the school years but also be set up for success in the future.
- Homeschooling In Light Of Eternity
Description: Homeschooling can easily become consumed by checklists, curriculum choices, and constant interruptions, but what if we stepped back and asked, “In light of eternity, what really matters?” In this workshop, we’ll explore how to view our homeschooling through a biblical lens, anchoring our purpose not in perfection or performance but in obedience to God’s calling. We’ll talk about discipling our kids’ hearts, equipping them for their God-given purpose, and how to stay faithful when plans fall apart. This is not about doing more; it’s about doing what lasts. If you’re weary or unsure of the impact you’re making, come be reminded that your faithfulness in the mundane is building something eternal.
- Homeschooling With Preschoolers
Description:Homeschooling with preschoolers can be a struggle! Those little balls of energy can definitely make the school day interesting. It can be a challenge to manage the little ones while giving your school aged kids the time and instruction that they need, while also giving our preschoolers sufficient attention and time! But what if we started to see our preschoolers as a blessing to our school day instead of as an obstacle to be managed? Join us as we talk about the benefits of homeschooling with littles undertow and as we unpack practical strategies that you can use to incorporate your preschooler into your homeschool day, while keeping you sane in the process!
- Homeschooling on the Bad Days
Description: As homeschool moms we tend to spend hours, days, and even weeks into planning the “perfect homeschool” but how often do we think ahead to how we will handle the days that are less than perfect. In this session we will cover great ideas on how you can prepare for those tough days and will take a look at a very helpful tool you can easily create to make those days run smoother.
- Stuck in a Rut? Injecting Joy & Fun Back into Your Homeschool
Description: Feeling stuck in the daily grind of homeschooling? When mid-year fatigue sets in, finding ways to add joy and excitement can feel overwhelming, especially when time, energy, and budgets are tight. This session is all about realistic, low-cost ideas to bring fresh life to your homeschool. Let’s reignite the joy in your homeschool with small, intentional changes that make a big difference. Together, we’ll turn the mid-year slump into a time of laughter, learning, and meaningful moments.
