Have you felt like these readers?

I have too many ideas I would like to implement all at once and at some point I lose focus.

I love finding new ideas and inspirations, but I tend to change too much too soon and then it is too much work for me and I become stressed.

I want to do it all, but feel like we’re barely getting through the basics. The realities are not matching my ideals.

At some point, I am sure we have all felt that way. I know I have!

There are so many resources available to homeschool our children, it can be difficult to keep our focus. In this episode of the podcast, I share the four questions I ask myself to determine my motivation for making a change as well as tips to help you successfully make changes to your homeschool without becoming stressed.

      Like a rich stock, Crystal takes Charlotte Mason’s ideas and simmers them down into an easily digestible form where they are easy to understand and implement. To listen to Crystal speak is to dip from the pot of her hours of research and insight for a very pleasant and practical meal.

      Thank you for your insight. I am constantly trying to pull back on this but all things around us say to increase our activity level. It’s good to hear encouragement about leaving margin.

      I wasn’t sure what to expect – would it be too far beyond my reach? It wasn’t! Crystal does a good job of making an intentional math lifestyle possible for the average person through examples and her passion for the subject.
