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

How Do I Get My JOY Back When I Am So Overwhelmed By Motherhood? Spilling the Tea on ONE Simple EASY Solution // 248
HER HOME & HEART / Simplifying Routines to Reduce Overwhelm for Christian Homeschool Moms
05/15/24 • 23 min
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

225 // Overwhelmed By Holiday Packing? 5 Tips for Creating a Fun Life Skills Opportunity With Your Neurodivergent or Special Needs Child
HER HOME & HEART / Simplifying Routines to Reduce Overwhelm for Christian Homeschool Moms
12/20/23 • 15 min
Travel. It's synonymous with exploration, discovery, and creating lasting memories. But for families with neurodivergent kids, packing for a trip can feel like scaling Mount Overwhelm, complete with tantrums, tears, and sensory overload.
We know, we know. You want the travel brochures with beaming families basking on sunny beaches, not the ones featuring packing-induced meltdowns. But here's the thing: travel isn't just about reaching a destination; it's a powerful learning experience. Packing, with its concrete tasks and visual cues, is a treasure trove of opportunities for growth and development.
This episode isn't just about surviving the packing frenzy. It's about unlocking the hidden potential of those overflowing suitcases. We'll explore how packing can become a powerful "teachable moment" that hones essential life skills, fosters independence, and builds confidence. Imagine turning tantrums into triumphs, chaos into calm, and packing into a launchpad for growth.
Ready to transform packing from a chore to a developmental superpower? Today let’s uncover the hidden magic of travel and empower your child with every suitcase zip!
XOXO,
Katie

138 // 5 Ways To Create Time For Your Spouse Even As An Overwhelmed Homeschool Mom
HER HOME & HEART / Simplifying Routines to Reduce Overwhelm for Christian Homeschool Moms
02/17/23 • 22 min
Are you feeling worn thin, and have no time for your husband or yourself? Overwhelm with life has drained that spark you used to have?
Are you finding that you feel a bit empty inside, and maybe even distant from your husband who you know truly loves you? But it’s a bit rough lately?
As a busy homeschool mom, it can be difficult to manage everything that's going on in life and make time for your marriage. But it's essential to nurture your relationship with your spouse in order to cultivate a healthy marriage. As Christian parents, we want to honor the Lord in the way we manage our marriage, and our self care, but sometimes it feels overwhelming.
This podcast episode dives into how busy overwhelmed moms can make time for their husbands and keep their relationships strong- no matter how hectic life gets.
We'll discuss 5 tips for setting aside quality time with your spouse, including putting away the phone, planning regular date nights, communicating regularly, making time for physical intimacy, and not forgetting about yourself.
Listen in as we chat about ways you can nurture your marriage even when you're pulled in a million different directions. Nurturing as a lifestyle, the Charlotte Mason way, extends to every family member, not just the kids.
This podcast will provide practical advice for staying connected with your spouse while homeschooling those special kids, and living a busy overwhelming life, so that both of you can feel supported and heard no matter what life throws at you!
XOXO,
Katie
