Summary

As homeschooling moms, we often focus more on what we’re not doing than what we are doing. We fret about the lessons we should be teaching or the projects we should be creating.

But here’s what we want you to remember (and what we try to remind ourselves): what you’re already doing is powerful. It’s purposeful. And best of all, what you’re already doing builds an enduring family culture.

In this bonus episode, you’ll discover the power of what you’re already doing and why the culture we create in our homes matters much more than whatever curriculum we use.

Today, we’re unlocking our most recent Circle with Sarah Live, a regular RAR Premium event where I mentor homeschooling moms like you. After all, we believe that the key to a successful homeschool is a peaceful, happy, homeschooling parent.

You’ll hear about all the things you’re already doing that make a significant impact in your homeschool. Plus, you’ll get an insider look at RAR’s framework for making rich and meaningful connections with your kids through books.

There are cupcakes involved.

Whether you’re ready to join RAR Premium or not, I think this episode will help you think about how you structure your homeschool and discover how the things you’re already doing have a huge impact on your family culture.

Remember, you’ve got everything you need to teach with peace that transcends all understanding. You were made for such a time and such a homeschool as this. I’m praying for you.

Books mentioned in this episode:

James Herriot’s Treasury for Children
The Vanderbeekers of 141st St

A Place to Hang the Moon

1:13.0	Hey, hey, Sarah McKenzie here, and this is a bonus episode of the Read Aloud Revival podcast. I had to share this episode with you because, as homeschooling moms, we oftentimes get very focused on which
1:20.6	curriculum is best to use with our kids, right? But there is something way more important than our
1:27.3	curriculum. See, the key to a successful
1:29.9	homeschool is a peaceful, happy parent. And homeschooling itself is all about relationships,
1:38.2	relationships with God, and relationships with ideas, and relationships with each other.
1:44.5	But relationships can't really be put on autopilot.
1:47.3	They're not like something you can put down on a lesson planner and check off, right?
1:52.0	Which is why most curriculum leaves us feeling a bit dissatisfied,
1:56.4	because we know homeschooling is about so much more than that.
2:00.7	Those tasks are important, but there's something deeper here.
2:04.1	Well, RIR Premium is an online program where I offer mentoring for homeschooling moms who
2:10.2	want to make their homeschool a rich place for relationships to thrive.
