HER HOME & HEART / Simplifying Routines for Overwhelmed Christian Homeschool Moms Seeking Peace and Joy

Think you have no time for self care... yet you know that the JOY in your motherhood journey is long gone?
You aren't laughing any more, you feel edgy too often, maybe even angry... and you know this is NOT the kind of motherhood and family life you dreamed of?
You worry you are ruining all you believed you could serve God well through?
With homeschooling, cooking, cleaning, chauffeuring, special needs therapy appointments, any kind of volunteering, being a wife, and ALLL the mom things... it's so easy to find ourselves submerged too deep. Overwhelm swoops in hard and fast, taking our breath away and everything that feels good about this life goes with it.

Today my busy mom-friend and fellow podcaster Ashley (of 'Special Kind of Motherhood') interviews me so we can dig into QUICK solutions to take care of YOU, (without hour long baths, days at the spa, or lunch dates with girlfriends)-- and get that RICH motherhood life experience back up and going again!
As busy moms, we both know the struggle, AND we know that you can reduce the overwhelm, FIND JOY, and enjoy this special yet overwhelming season of life in just a few small pauses each day.
Grab a warm cup of tea and let's chat together today.
XOXO, Katie

Ever feel overwhelmed by the pressure to raise well-rounded, confident independent kids, who thrive as adults with amazing real-world skills and abilities?

It can feel like there's a million things they should know how to do – but where do you even begin, and why can’t you find a good homeschool curriculum to help you do this?

The good news is, teaching life skills can be a fun and rewarding experience for both you and your children, and can bring your family SO CLOSE as a team! Charlotte Mason emphasized the importance of practical living skills alongside a rich academic education, and it does not need to be difficult to weave into family life.

Today we have the pleasure of a conversation with Katie Kimball, the creator of Kitchen Stewardship and Kids Cook Real Food. Katie, a former teacher and a mother of four, shares her secrets to breaking down essential life skills into manageable steps, and making them a natural part of your homeschool day (or any day!).

The conversation explores the importance of teaching children life skills, and how it benefits them overall by growing self-confidence, independence, and resilience.

Katie details her approach to equipping kids with critical thinking skills, and shares the benefits of including kids in productive activities like cooking and chores.

She emphasizes the practical benefits of nurturing children's intrinsic motivations, and how these efforts contribute to a stronger family connection and a prepared journey into adulthood.

So ditch the overwhelm and get excited to empower your kids with the confidence they need to thrive!

XOXO,
Katie

Ever feel like you're just not measuring up? Like society's picture-perfect image of motherhood is constantly leaving you feeling guilty and inadequate? We've all been there, friend. The truth is, mom guilt is a real struggle, fueled by unrealistic expectations that often undervalue the incredible work you do every single day.

But what if there was another way? What if we could ditch the negativity and embrace a mindset that allows us to find joy and fulfillment in motherhood, exactly as God intended?

In this episode of Her Home and Heart, we're diving deep into the topic of overcoming mom guilt and embracing a growth mindset. Together, we'll explore the power of shifting our perspective, letting go of comparisons, and learning to see challenges as opportunities for growth – both for ourselves and our children.

Here's a peek at what you can expect:

• Understanding the root causes of mom guilt and how societal pressures can leave us feeling unappreciated.
• Exploring the transformative power of adopting a growth mindset, as championed by Carol Dweck.
• Learning practical steps for recognizing and changing negative self-talk.
• Discovering the importance of self-compassion, community support, and focusing on personal growth.
• Embracing the journey of motherhood, learning from failures, and finding joy in the process.

This episode is your invitation to a more joyful and fulfilling motherhood experience, one filled with grace, self-acceptance, and the incredible opportunity to model a growth mindset for your precious children.
So grab your favorite cup of tea, settle in, and let's chat, mama!
XOXO,
Katie

Overslept. The puppy’s barking. The kids are loud. Your to-do list is already behind—and it’s not even 8AM. What if this didn’t have to ruin your day?

In this short and encouraging episode, I'll share a chaotic real-life morning and the simple 10-minute reset that shifted everything. You’ll learn a 3-part mindset tool you can use before breakfast tomorrow—and discover how peace isn’t found in the perfect plan, but in the grace to start again.

If your mornings feel frantic or fragile, this reset is for you.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about resetting—so you can reconnect with God, your children, and the mom you want to be.

XOXO,
Katie
