Refining Our Focus - Finding Happiness Through Simple Living

In this opening episode of our homeschooling series, I share our family’s homeschool story including how we began, why we chose to leave traditional schooling, and how our understanding of education has slowly transformed over the past eight years.

What started as “school at home” eventually became something much deeper. God gently led us toward a vision of education rooted in relationship, character, and faith.

In this episode, we talk about releasing the need to be “on track,” redefining success, and embracing the mother’s role as a living example of loving what is good, true, and beautiful.

If you’ve ever felt tired, unsure, or quietly longing for a better way, this episode is an invitation to breathe, reflect, and remember that God gives the growth.

The Well Educated Heart

This episode marks the beginning of our Refining Our Focus Book Club, a year-long conversation centered on The Life-Giving Home. Once a month, we’ll gather here to talk through the chapter’s monthly focus, share what resonated with us, and reflect on how these ideas can take shape in real homes and real motherhood without pressure, guilt, or the need to do it all.

We’re so excited to start this journey with you and to share a book that has been deeply inspiring and helpful to both of us. The Life-Giving Home invites us to slow down and live with greater intention, offering gentle reflections rather than rigid systems. It’s a month-by-month guide designed to meet you where you are including your family, your rhythms, and your current season.

In this January discussion, we reflect on:

• The feelings that lingered with us after reading the chapter

• Sentences or ideas that made us pause and reread

• Why certain themes feel especially timely right now

• Which practices feel truly life-giving rather than life-draining in this season

We’ll also share thoughtful discussion questions you can reflect on personally or talk through with others, and we’ll end with a simple listener challenge.
