In this video I’m sharing some of the changes I’m making in our homeschool for the 2024–2025 year, and I’m walking you through the mindset behind those shifts as much as the practical side. With eight kids in different stages (elementary, middle, and high school), our homeschool has to stay flexible, and I’m always looking for small tweaks that make our days run smoother and feel less heavy. My biggest takeaway is this: don’t talk yourself out of a change just because it feels “small.” A little adjustment in routine, expectations, or how you organize your day can be a big change in how your homeschool actually functions. I also encourage you to give yourself permission to pivot—what worked last year may not fit this year, and that doesn’t mean you failed. If you’re planning your own 2024–2025 homeschool year and you’re feeling the pressure to get everything perfect, I hope this helps you focus on progress, not perfection—and to remember that every change counts.
