Holistic Living and Home Stewardship for Christian Homeschool Mamas
Hey Mama!
Do you wish your home and homeschool could be peaceful?
Are you tired of wasting time and money on health solutions, and wish for some that will LAST?
Do you long for simple systems that help life run on autopilot, instead of you feeling like an angry task-master who can’t get anyone to help you?
Are you ready to kick fear to the curb, and move into a satisfying life of Proverbs 31 stewardship?
Welcome to the family, sister!!! You have been led here divinely, because Jesus is the Good Shepherd.
In this podcast, you will find secrets to living a life of intention and peace in your homeschool, homemaking, and health.
My mission is to journey alongside you, empowering and equipping you to build a solid family foundation to bless your future generations, while you confidently live out your calling with joy and assurance.
If you are ready to say “yes” to letting go of the yelling, guilt, and confusion that has plagued you, then you are in the right place. Welcome home.
Hey, I’m Katie Keene.
Jesus Lover and Daughter of the King, Wife to a Hunk, Mama of 5 treasures (with a pair of out-of-the-box movers and shakers), Special Needs Advocate, Non-toxic Lifestyle Junkie, and Homeschool Fanatic.
For years I struggled to feel confident amid the chaos of daily life. I was overwhelmed searching for answers to mysterious health challenges and chronic illness, desperate to know how to educate and train my children perfectly, longing to keep a Pinterest-worthy home, while trying to meet my unrealistic internal expectations and keep up with military spouse life. I felt like a hamster running on a never ending wheel.
I finally realized that to create the foundations in my family which I KNEW I was called to create, something BIG had to change. I did not want to wake up someday to regret and sorrow. I longed for simple solutions to living life with purpose, while fulfilling my calling to motherhood, health, homeschooling, and homemaking.
SO, I did. And I can’t wait to share what I learned with YOU!
This journey toward God’s best for your family will increase your confidence, and set a firm foundation for your generations to come.
Breathe deeply, Mama. Let the kid’s go play. Because it’s time for you to CHASE that JOY and PEACE you have been longing for!

Have you ever felt like you are just too tired or too introverted for this homeschooling journey that you're on?But you know you actually long to thrive and enjoy it, you want to look back and realize you've created beautiful memories in your life and your children's lives! I remember the days of being a new homeschool mom. My kids were little, and it was a journey I hadn't anticipated. And I wished so much that there was somebody who could help me see the vision of what homeschooling could be for my family. Someone who would have been able to help me not fear. I wished for someone to model this life to me.How could we balance a life where we homeschooled, did all the "mom stuff" and possibly even took on some side work or hobbies? I wanted someone to show me, "How do we do the food here? What's a snapshot like of the teenage season? Can you help me learn how to control mom anger?"I really wanted to understand these things. But I didn't know anybody I could talk to.If YOU are READY to learn these things that I wanted to know so badly at the beginning of my journey, or you just want some encouragement through hearing two veteran homeschool moms talk about how it's all worked out in the end for us.... this is a great episode for you.I'm talking with Leigh from Little By Little Homeschool. She is a precious friend and fellow podcaster. She and I share our hearts and our experiences from the nearly decade and a half of homeschooling we have each done.

203// Is God Happy With Your Homemaking? The Number One Way To Feel Peace In Stewardship
Is God truly content with your homemaking efforts? Are you stewarding your home in a a way that really pleases Him?In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it's easy to get caught up in the never-ending to-do lists, the expectations we place on ourselves, and the pursuit of perfection. As Christian homeschooling moms with special needs children, we often find ourselves pulled in many different directions at once.But have you ever stopped to ask yourself, "Is God happy with my homemaking?" Are the standards I set for myself aligned with God's standards?Let’s explore a powerful way to evaluate the alignment of our homemaking standards with God's divine plan. It's a journey of self-discovery, reflection, and a deeper connection with our faith.In a Charlotte Mason-inspired homeschool, character development is a central pillar of education. The idea of reflecting on 1 Corinthians 13 and the Fruits of the Spirit align with Charlotte Mason's belief in developing children's moral and spiritual character. Charlotte Mason advocated for "living books" and exposure to great literature, including the Bible, to nurture the hearts and minds of children.As Christian parents, our emphasis on love, patience, kindness, and self-control within the context of homemaking can also be seen as an extension of the principles of habit formation that Charlotte Mason emphasized. Building habits of love, patience, and self-control within the home environment can have a profound impact on the character development of both parents and children, aligning with Charlotte Mason's philosophy of education.May your homemaking be a reflection of God's love and grace (and not Pinterest or the latest fad… lol), nurturing the hearts and souls of your family as you walk together in faith.Grab a cup of tea or basket of laundry, and let’s find PEACE,XOXO,KatieIt's Our Gift to You!Nurturing a Joyful Homeschool and Creating a Harmonious Homehttp://herhomeandheart.net/free TO REDUCE OVERWHELM:STEP 1)FEEL GOOD with CELLULAR ACTIVATORSfamilysuccess.lifevantage.comSTEP 2)Be part of Community!https://urlgeni.us/facebook/HHAHGroupStep 3) Hacks, Coupons, Courses, Memberships, and FUN THINGS :https://bit.ly/m/HerHomeandHeart Want Your Question Considered For The Podcast?

199 // What A Family Government Look Like In Practice, and How It Benefits Your Daily Life and Family Dynamics (Part 4)
Are you ever faced with those chaotic moments in your home? The ones that leave you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and questioning your abilities as a parent? If you've been there, you're not alone. Parenting can be tough, and there's no handbook that magically makes it easy.You might wonder, "What can I do to regain control? How can I create a peaceful and nurturing environment for my family?" These questions are exactly what I want to address today.Imagine a scenario: Your kids are fighting, your special needs child is having a tough day, your anxiety is skyrocketing, and chaos reigns. In such moments, the easy way out might seem to be yelling, just to restore some order. But instead, let me introduce you to the concept of a "family government."Picture this: You call your kids to the front door where you've posted your family's guiding principles. No yelling, no chaos. They gather slowly, and you calmly ask, "What does the door say we should live like?" They read aloud those principles you've all agreed upon.In this moment, a shift occurs. Anxiety subsides, angry arguments calm, and your children begin to regain their logical thinking. You all know the consequences if chaos continues, thanks to your preset family agreements. There's no need to scramble for consequences or empty threats; it's all predetermined.Conflict resolution skills are practiced, apologies exchanged, and you leave as a family, respecting one another and starting anew. Imperfectly, but with grace.The truth is, perfection is never required in parenting. We all make mistakes, but it's how we handle them that truly matters. You can teach your children the power of reconciliation, forgiveness, and authenticity.In a world where it often feels like you're not measuring up, where the challenges seem never-ending, and where the weight of responsibility can be overwhelming, remember this: grace covers our imperfections, and love guides us.A family government can transform your home, making it a sanctuary of unity, understanding, and growth.XOXO,KatieJOIN CFU before the doors close!herhomeandheart.net/govMy Gift to You!http://herhomeandheart.net/free TO REDUCE OVERWHELM:STEP 1)FEEL GOOD with CELLULAR ACTIVATORSfamilysuccess.lifevantage.comSTEP 2)Be part of Community!https://urlgeni.us/facebook/HHAHGroupStep 3) Hacks, Coupons, Courses, Memberships, and FUN THINGS :https://bit.ly/m/HerHomeandHeart Want Your Question Considered For The Podcast?

It is a WIN - WIN all around.I hope this episode inspires you and is a reminder that, even in the most challenging times, you can create an environment where both you and your children thrive.So, whether you're a homeschooling parent, a devout follower of Charlotte Mason, or simply a mother seeking a path to balance and self-care in the whirlwind of special needs parenting, this episode is a must-listen.

We'll draw inspiration from our Creator, who, in His divine wisdom, established boundaries within His creation for our well-being and protection.I’ll give you an example of ways to infuse these lessons into our everyday lives, using the events of the day and our children's interactions as teachable moments. We'll learn how boundaries foster respect, empathy, and healthy relationships, laying a foundation for their future well-being.So, my dear friend, grab a cozy blanket, pour yourself a soothing cup of tea, and join me on this intimate journey of imparting wisdom and love to our children. It's in these tender moments that we shape not just their understanding of boundaries, but also their hearts and character.I'm truly grateful to have you by my side on this path of motherhood. Let's lean in, listen, and learn together.XOXO,KatieGRAB YOUR CHEAT SHEET FOR HEARTFELT HOMESCHOOLING:herhomeandheart.net/free PS.

Each week we are going to give insight to systems that you can use to deal with grief, improve your health, enhance your relationships, and stabilize your finances.Thanks for joining us on our journey.
