Summary

Homeschooling goes far beyond choosing curriculum and planning field trips. It is equally as important to establish a firm grasp on why we are homeschooling and what our homeschool philosophy is.

I so enjoyed this conversation with Angela where we had a chance to get honest about the ups and downs of our homeschooling journeys. We chatted about important mindset shifts we have had to embrace along the way and old paradigms we are moving away from.

Are you considering homeschooling but you are fearful? Are you in the thick of it and need some encouragement to keep going? Join us for this inspiring conversation!

In this episode, we cover:

Making schooling decisions based on each individual child’s needs
Finding the balance between giving yourself grace and pushing yourself
Tips for keeping little ones occupied while homeschooling older siblings
Freeing yourself from expectations and embracing the flexible schedule of homeschooling
Encouraging learning to extend beyond textbooks and worksheets into valuable life skills
Recognizing perfectionism in our kids and helping them learn through failure
Reframing our perspective about what is most important for our children to learn
Math curriculum reviews for kids that struggle with math
Protecting our kids’ mindsets around their ability to learn
What if you are nervous to homeschool?
How will homeschooled kids turn out?

0:00.0	Welcome back to the Simple Farmhouse Life podcast. Today, I am chatting with Angela from
0:05.7	this gathered nest. If you're over on YouTube or Instagram and you're in the homeschool world or
0:10.4	the just mom world, you probably know her. We are going to chat about, well, all things homeschool,
0:17.8	but kind of in a maybe unconventional way. I don't know. We go on a lot of different tangents,
0:22.6	so it's two friends chatting about mom life really. All right, join me for the interview.
0:28.8	My name is Lisa, mother of seven in creator of the blog and YouTube channel farmhouse on Boone.
0:34.4	Join me as I share with you my love for creating a handmade home from scratch cooking and a little
0:39.6	mom and entrepreneur life along the way. All right, well, hey, Angela, glad to have you on. It's been
0:52.0	a while since we've chatted. Yeah. So yeah, I'm looking forward to chatting with you about homeschool.
0:57.6	We can start with some introductions for those who don't know you. I think a lot of people in my,
1:03.2	like, the listeners probably do. You and I have collaborated before and then obviously we have

1:17.8	sourdough and you know everything about sourdough. So don't come to my channel and expect that,
1:22.0	because Lisa and I talk about the same things you're going to learn anything about sourdough from me.
1:26.5	Though I love to eat it. I don't know how to make it, but I'm Angela and my YouTube channel is just,
1:32.7	well, I have to, but my main one that I'm using right now is just my Angela brand of channel.
1:37.9	And I make kind of all over the place content a little bit, but I just really like to talk about
1:43.9	the things that interest me, motherhood, home making, home schooling and those kinds of topics.
1:51.2	Yeah. And you have eight children ranging from high school down to preschool.
2:00.7	Correct. So that makes for quite a diverse age range for home school.
2:06.1	Yes. Yeah. My oldest is, she actually just turned 16 and I'm still emotionally and mentally
