    New Homeschooling Mom
    This podcast has brought so much peace, wisdom and clarity to me as a “new” homeschool mom! I look forward to more episode. God bless you!
  • HomeschoolMamaBearof4
    Every homeschool mom should listen!!!
    I’m so glad I found this podcast! I love it! Very encouraging and practical advice. Keep it up, Leigh! Thank you!

    Leigh’s podcast has been such a blessing to me. I always walk away from it encouraged. I love the topics covered and her own honesty about her journey.
  • Ana B.H.
    Refreshing
    Since I first listened to the podcast and then attended the first conference, a word that keeps coming to mind is refreshing. Leigh’s approach to the topic being discussed is very refreshing, in the sense that it is very relatable and approachable (unlike other podcasters / influencers). Everytime I listen to the podcast, it’s just like being on a phone call with a dear friend or a relative, giving realistic and down to earth advice.
  • Jsinclair123
    Amazing podcast!
    Leigh does an amazing job at helping moms (especially new to homeschooling moms) navigate the unknowns and complexities of home education. She’s encouraging, funny and down to earth! A must listen for anyone wanting practical tips and tricks for a successful home routine.
  • Rejoicing in Motherhood
    Always encouraging and practical!
    I’ve been homeschooling for 11 years, and yet every week I learn something from Leigh! I so appreciate her wise, calm, and compassionate approach to all the topics that she covers. The recent podcast about tailoring our high schoolers’ education took such a weight off my shoulders! This show is always encouraging and practical! Thank you, Leigh! ❤️

    I am a homeschool Mom of three and this podcast has been an encouragement and blessing to me which in return has blessed our home and my family! Thanks for the wisdom and encouragement and keep up the good work!

    Leigh is about as real as they come.
    Leigh’s tone and demeanor always seem genuine to me, which is one of the many things that kept me coming back to her podcast. She has helped me focus in on what is important not only in homeschooling but in every day family life. She has been so helpful in my journey. Each episode tackles a certain subject which is always in the title so it makes it easy to pick and choose the area I may need some extra advice in. The best part about her advice is that I rarely feel overwhelmed afterward or left with the feeling like I am not doing enough as a home educator. This is a big one. I have sampled many homeschool podcasts and read many books on the matter and most of them have left me overwhelmed and in a constant worry that I am not doing enough. Not the case here. Leigh also takes Q&A on her Instagram account and has responded to me directly before - thank you! Highly recommend for anyone just starting out on their homeschool journey or are seasoned homeschoolers. There’s something for everyone.

    Like an encouraging coffee date with a friend
    I love this podcast, and always look forward to Mondays and Thursdays when a new episode is out. Leigh always has an encouraging perspective and talks about topics that are directly applicable to our day to day homeschool life! I find her tips hugely helpful and sometimes the kick in the pants I need to make changes, but also sometimes hear words of reassurance that are much needed. All around a great listen!
  • concerned1776
    Wonderful, sound advice from a godly woman!
    So thankful that you share your insights on schooling and motherhood….they are worth more than gold! God bless you.
  • MommyCof3
    Wise words
    I love hearing wise words from those ahead of me on this journey! Thanks for all you do!
  • Brandy Waters
    So helpful
    Leigh had such great insight to homeschooling. I love listening to all the topics she talked about.
  • saddleoaks
    Wisdom - a must listen
    I have homeschooled 5 children - all grown up now- last one is in college. These podcasts are golden. There is such wisdom in each one. You may not agree with everything- some things may not be your cup of tea- but just the same it is sound wisdom. Some things will be perfect for this season in your life - some things will challenge you- and some things can be tucked away for another season. Pure simple wisdom ❤️
  • ChristyeLeigh
    Great insight
    Kind, genuine, a true heart for homeschooling.
  • AmaFrat
    Encouragement for all Moms
    While I enjoy skipping around and picking different episodes, I have always been encouraged, and even challenged at times, by every episode Leigh puts out there. I no longer have very young children at home (ages 9-16) and am really appreciative of her wisdom regarding the teenage/high school years. Highly recommend this podcast for moms of any age children! Also really thankful for shorter length episodes so I can listen just long enough to get the dishes done or laundry folded!
  • WildcatinOK
    Practical, helpful homeschool encouragement
    This podcast isn’t just ideas or fluff— it’s practical, grounded advice that will help you in your homeschool, no matter where you’re at in your homeschool journey! I’m especially grateful for the middle and high school episodes, as I’m headed into that stage of homeschooling and I feel like there aren’t too many people talking about that stage!
  • Cassy23
    So encouraging
    I love that the episodes are short and just packed with advice and practicality. She touches on SO much that affects us as homeschooling parents. A must listen for me!
  • MainefarmMom
    Thank you
    Thank you always saying what I need to hear. Having Julie from The Brave Writer was a fun treat!
  • Aidaphs
    Too heavy handed
    I really tried giving this podcast a chance. But it leans conservative and as I homeschool mom I can sort through what I don’t need and take what I can use. However, the heavy handedness of including religion in everything, forcibly at times, is a complete turnoff. This leads to holier than thou to an extreme that screams trumpism. It’s weird cause I think her children are actually part minority. Once critical race theory was thrown in, goodbye. Edit: if your family is not evil and sinful, you’re fine! Jfc
  • Jenn Lormand
    Feeling seen in my messiness
    I just listened to Leigh and Dana White talk about how we all have different kinds of brains God creates us with and something clicked. I ordered Dana’s book and am so excited to find a method that works for my creative busy brain!! I honestly never thought about bringing Jesus into my clutter problem. Thank you!
  • kinsley922
    Love
    I love this podcast, but this episode about time alone as a mother was so good! This quote resonates with me so much, “No place in the Bible does it promise that we can have children and then send them away so that we can get time alone.” You are so wise and encouraging! Thank you for this podcast!❤️
  • Tisalyn
    Great listen
    Appreciate her advice and wisdom.
  • Thankful Mom in TX
    Absolutely love this!
    I stumbled upon this podcast and absolutely love it. I have been listening to as many episodes as possible. Leigh has a no nonsense and practical approach that I can relate to and find extremely helpful. Somehow she knows exactly the most relevant topics to discuss. She has talked me down off the cliff several times! Thank you for your wisdom and insight! God bless!
  • BreeMamaOf3

    Great podcast for homeschool moms!
    This is such an uplifting and practical podcast! It’s not too long and I always walk away with a little nugget of truth that I can apply to my everyday life!
  • Yet Not I But Christ In Me
    Good podcast
    Amazing podcast. Lots of good information and insight for those looking to homeschool, or fix their homeschooling schedule, and build it into something that allows freedom to do other things, while the kids learn about things that can actually interest them and help them grow!
  • AlliUT
    A life saver
    I love this podcast! I am new to homeschooling and often find myself feeling like I’m failing and overwhelmed. This podcast gives me hope that I’m not completely screwing up and gives me the guidance I desperately need. It’s applications and advice are not overwhelming either! Love love love!!!

    It’s worth it!
    I was really struggling today. Episode 260 brought such peace. As I take a step back, I realize the blessings. Today may be a hard homeschool day. Tomorrow will be better. One day I will look back and realize such a privilege I was given. Thank you so much for this podcast.

    got any advice
    mother law law had a stroke. nursing care at home isn't covered unless she goes into Hospice. she worked in a nursing home for over 35 years and doesn't want to live in one. Hubby works 12-14 hours per day. is trying t find something that provides the equivalent of two incomes. She has no other children and her only other family are elderly and cannot care for her.....which leaves me..... a stay at hime, home educating mother of four. three are still in school. and everytime i try to get the engine started again something stalls us out. now she had a stroke and i am the only person who has taken the place of caregiver....and she pretty much needs 25 hour care.... oh, i can leave alone a little at night, but sometimes to get stuff done.....but by that time i'm exhausted mentally, emotionally, and physically. my priority is my children, but there is no one else to tend to her individual needs. The three are just living their own worlds while Im distracted taking care of her. Ive prayed for someone to be provided to care for her but nothing has changed. its only been two weeks since she came home........nursing home care would cost $200 out of pocket...PER DAY! (after coverage- at least until she was destitute and THEN medicaid could be pursued.) How can i manage school in the middle of caretaking, which takes hours....and when she isnt being physically cared for, it is companionship and conversation...which can take 30 minutes for her to communicate that she wants the tv remote because she cant find the words. food is pureed. bathroom is an ordeal.... the list goes on. I'm in charge of helping her live her life while a huge part of mine is still playing out without me. I've tried to figure out how to manage bouncing back and forth between caretaking and school mom....but thinking about what that would look like in reality automatically exhausts me. local public school is NOT an option. we cant afford the local christian schools. the inly co op is 45 minutes away. and i live in new hampshire......and everyone in nh is too busy to help in a more long term situation to be available to help with her daily needs. ............ how can i get them what they need, record it, and not be running on 2 hours of sleep per day????

    LIFE CHANGING!!!!!
    When my oldest was born, my husband and I decided to homeschool our growing family. Public school was not an option. How hard could homeschooling be, right? For me, it became one of the hardest concepts to wrap my mind around, especially as our family grew and having multiple children of all ages to juggle. The only model of school I had to go off of was public school from my past, and let me tell you, epic fail! I discovered quickly that my “style” was completely “wrong”, and was fighting myself trying to fit this impossible mold for my children. I was trying to keep up with other families around me who followed a very strict classical approach, but could not keep the pace (I am very creative, and tend to do things outside the box). I was at my whits end. Done. But again, public school was not an option, and neither was private school. So, I had no choice but to press on, every day feeling like a total failure at what I once imagined would be the easiest thing about mothering….I was desperate for help, but my specifics were 1.) MUST be a Christian source, and 2.) MUST be a mom who had experience homeschooling multi ages AND 3.) successfully graduated them. GUESS WHAT!? God answered my prayers and He led me to Leigh and the Little By Little Homeschool podcast. Thank you JESUS!!!! She has brought so much wisdom, hope, and insight into my life- for the first time I am EXCITED to school my kids. I look forward to the adventures that come with every new day. Schooling my children has become the greatest highlight of my life, and I am beyond blessed to get this opportunity to be with my kids. Every topic/podcast that I listen to is like a brand new light bulb turning on into what has been one of the darkest places in my life. Thank you Leigh for creating this podcast. You have truly touched my life, and I am eternally grateful!

    Like having a homeschool mom friend from afar
    I enjoy listening to Leigh’s podcast! She has a warm and welcoming personality not to mention relatable. Her honesty and practical advice has given me hope that I can homeschool all through high school! Homeschooling as a solo parent with no family around is challenging but each episode gives me hope and encouragement to keep going. She responds when you ask questions and not many podcasters do that. Thank you so much for all the wonderful useful advice on homeschooling.

    Help for the Homeschool Mom
    I have listened one-and-off to about twenty different homeschooling podcasts over the last six years. About half a year ago, I stumbled across Little By Little Homeschool and I finally felt like I have found the podcast that not only answers my homeschooling questions, but gives me the proper steps to take and make action happen! I have been hooked now for the last six months and listen to it almost every morning while I get ready. The best part is that even though there are over 200 episodes, and some have cross-over categories, Leigh still gives fresh new insight so no episode feels redundant (and I’ve listened to almost every one); they compliment each other or add to the wisdom and knowledge that I’m desperate to know. I have applied many of her tips and tricks and it has had a HUGE impact on our homeschooling lifestyle. Every time I turn the podcast on, it feels like a true Titus 2 woman is coming along side me and supporting me through this amazing journey. I believe this is easily one of the best and most practical homeschool podcasts out there! Thank you so much Leigh!
  • Textmannyac
    To the point!
    I adore Leigh’s show because when I need some encouraging or have just a few minutes to spare I can pop in and listen to one of her episodes and feel motivated to keep going! I so appreciate the bite size of each episode, the encouragement, and the way she is so down to earth and relatable!!!
  • Eva Padilla
    Ready to Jump on it!
    I am a public school teacher who has the desire of start homeschooling my children (10,12). I have been listening for months now (binge listening all episodes) 😍 I just quit my job 2 days ago and my kids will finish their last year of public school in may! This podcast encouraged me to take this step, to put aside my fears and just jump on it! THANK YOU!
  • cathasle
    A breath of fresh air!
    Leigh is down to earth and real. I love that her episodes aren’t an hour long cause that means I actually get to finish an episode. They’re the perfect length for quick car trips or quick moments at home like doing dishes. I have been feeling unorganized and unmotivated since a hospital trip and her episodes on scheduling was just what I needed! I’m excited to homeschool when I listen to her episodes!

    Great for Encouragement
    She's just what I need to give me a boost or encourage me. As a homeschool mom of over 25 years, I still need those tips, those words of encouragement and just having someone that gets it!
