Simplifying Routines for Overwhelmed Christian Homeschool Moms Seeking Peace and Joy
★ TOP 1% Parenting + Family Life Podcast ★
Do you ever feel like your days are a whirlwind of lesson plans, laundry, and "Mom, can you help me?" moments?
You're juggling homeschooling, faith, and the everyday chaos of motherhood — and sometimes, it can feel overwhelming, especially when life doesn’t look as “perfect” as you imagined.
But what if you could simplify your routines, reduce the chaos, and build a joyful, faith-filled home that nurtures your family's heart?
This podcast is for you, mama!
I'm Katie Keene — Christian homeschool mom of 5, lover of simple systems, and passionate about helping moms create peaceful homes rooted in faith. Each week, I’ll share practical tips, Biblical encouragement, and real-life rhythms to help you thrive — not just survive — as you balance homeschooling, homemaking, and heart work.
We embrace a love-of-learning lifestyle inspired by heart-centered homeschooling methods like Charlotte Mason, Unschooling, Classical, Special Needs homeschooling, and peaceful eclectic approaches — always adapted to fit your unique family and season.
If you're ready to ditch overwhelm, embrace grace, and build a homeschool and home life you love (without losing your joy), you're in the right place.
🎙️ Press play, grab your tea, and let’s create simpler, happier days together.
