Feeling behind? Burnt out? Like the stack of curriculum you bought is staring you down with judgmental eyes?

Been there, mama. 🙋🏽‍♀️

In this episode of Dreams, Dirt & Grace, we’re talking about the moment when your beautiful, color-coded homeschool plan falls apart—and what to do next. I’m sharing real stories, honest struggles, and what I’ve learned about making curriculum serve us, not the other way around.

You’ll walk away with encouragement, practical mindset shifts, and a whole lot of grace for those "we're behind again!" days.

✨ Because curriculum is a tool—not your taskmaster. And you, mama, are the teacher God chose.

In this episode, we’re diving into the real-life mess and magic of homeschooling. Whether you're knee-deep in lesson plans, wondering if you're "doing it right," or just trying to survive another day without someone crying over math (and it might be you), this one’s for you.

We’ll talk about:

• How to simplify your homeschool rhythm
• What to do when you feel burnt out
• Why joy and curiosity matter more than a perfect curriculum
• How to invite God into your homeschool planning (without needing a seminary degree)
• And real-life tips from our own family’s homestead-homeschool mash-up

By the end, I hope you feel encouraged, grounded, and reminded that your homeschool doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s. Because your family, your story, and your pace is part of God's perfect plan.
