Six Essential Skills for Catholic Homeschool Moms

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2024/01/08

If you were a teacher in a brick-and-mortar school, then you would be required to take classes on a regular basis to continue your education, grow and build onto your skills, and learn the newest techniques and strategies to provide the best experience possible for your students and for yourself. And yet, there has never been such a continuing education program for homeschoolers, let alone Catholic homeschoolers. That's why I created the Happy, Holy Mama Membership. In today's episode, I'm going to

Are you using the past as evidence for what's possible in your future? Do you self-sabotage your New Year's resolution and quit in the first few weeks?

Joyful Self-Sacrifice

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2023/12/18

Does it feel like there’s a tension inside of you between being self-sacrificing, ‘offering up’ your suffering and self-care? Like maybe those two things don’t mesh and, because it’s so confusing, then you might be hesitant to do either one? At least, not well. Let alone joyfully. That’s what I’m talking about in today’s podcast episode. I’m sharing with you some beautiful insights that were the fruit of regular conversations happening inside the Happy, Holy Mama Membership this past month as some

Taking a Christmas Break When You Feel Behind!

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2023/12/11

Because I have met SO many women on Consult Calls who tell me on that they worked right up to Christmas and then went back to school immediately after the New Year, I feel that what happened in our kitchen this week was worth sharing in hopes of helping you prevent that for yourself this year, if it's not what you truly want to be doing. In today's podcast episode I'm going to share a conversation I had with my husband about the discomfort he was feeling about where we are at in our

How to Have the Perfect Christmas

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2023/12/04

While we all intellectually know that our Christmas won’t be perfect, somewhere inside most of us are still striving for a version of perfect. We want a plan. We want it organized and done ahead of time. We want to know where we’re going and what’s going to happen. We want to plan for all contingencies so no one is disappointed and we can all go home happy. This is as far from the first Christmas as it gets, and yet the first Christmas was truly the only perfect one in human history. Join me for

Becoming a Creative Problem Solver

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2023/11/27

One of the reasons you feel overwhelmed and bogged down with a million decisions each day is because you're not giving your brain enough space to think outside of those times (those times exist, I promise), in order to creatively problem solve in the moment. And because this happens over and over, then you may have begun believing that you don't know what to do, because it feels like you're constantly putting out fires. It may feel like you've lost all ability to solve problems in a calm,

Feeling Grateful When Things Are Painful

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2023/11/20

It's Thanksgiving week here in the US and this can feel like the beginning of a needlessly busy season. It's so hard to feel grateful, peaceful, satisfied, and accomplished when there is so much to do and in the back of your mind you're worrying about what your mother-in-law might say about your home, children's behavior, or offers her unsolicited opinions about homeschooling. If Thanksgiving, or the holidays in general, have been historically painful for you and you're kind of dreading what's

Sneaky Fear

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2023/10/30

Even if you don't consider yourself a 'fearful' person, there might be ways that fear is sneaking into your life and you're just not aware of it's presence or effect it's having in your heart and home. In today's podcast episode, I'm going to share where fear actually comes from - and it's not political parties, Halloween, homecoming dresses, the pope, or your children. I'm also going to share some ways that fear might be showing up as anger, frustration, irritation, or anxiety about the world

How to Stop Doing EVERYTHING

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2023/10/23

Washing dishes through hidden, bitter tears is not how you want to end the day. However, since it's the only moment you get to yourself you take your time, even though it’s past your bedtime. Bedtime is such a fluid phrase for you, it doesn’t actually mean the same thing day to day, even though you’d prefer it to. But that would take mountains (of laundry) getting up and putting themselves away. It would take high school papers being turned in on time so you can correct them before 10pm. It would

If we could just get our work done, THEN we could take a break. THEN we could get something done. THEN I can breathe and maybe even enjoy my kids. But you don't get your work done. You don't breathe and you're not enjoying your kids or your relationships as much as you'd like. If your current line of thinking, which sounds a lot like this before that, isn't working for you, then today's episode is going to invite you into a different way of thinking about what needs to come first.

Tips for Establishing (and tweaking) Homeschool Routines

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2023/10/02

We're fairly early on in the school year, which is about when most homeschool moms start to question the plans they started off with. Or maybe you're realizing that you never really had a plan in the first place and you'd like to get something established. Something doesn't feel quite right, isn't flowing the way you wanted it to, or flat out isn't working at all. Self doubt and confusion creep in and you end up spending tons of time in research mode to find the "right thing" only to end up

Do you get frustrated when your kids don't say thank you or when they expect things to appear as if out of nowhere?

Why Trust Feels So Hard

If it felt easier (not that it was easy, but maybe easier than it feels right now) to homeschool when they were little and now it's feeling hard because they're older, then today's episode is for you. Even if your kids are still little and it's feeling difficult to trust yourself to know what's best for them, today's episode is for you, too.

It's the beginning of a new school year and I cannot tell you how many times I get asked: I'm thinking about homeschooling this year, what curriculum do you recommend? Or, I've been homeschooling for a while and I'm thinking about switching it up, what do you recommend? Okay, FIRST off, this is 100% dependent on what the goal is for your homeschooling journey.

It’s been another long homeschool day and you’re looking forward to when your husband is done with work so you can get a break. After a quick rundown of how the day went and what to expect from now until dinnertime, you pass off the littles to your husband on your way out the door to drive the bigs to their afternoon activities (something you’ve been looking forward to all day, because it feels like a break to drive them somewhere, anywhere). You may or may not have remembered to say hello to him
