Morning Moments: Navigating Homeschool Bliss with Morning Time | 254

In today’s episode, we’re talking all about morning time, that cherished ritual that sets the stage for your entire day, bringing families together, and nurturing relationships that stand the test of time. Our special guest, Vanessa Pebley, shares her insight and experience on making morning time work for all ages and stages, offering a warm and encouraging perspective that every homeschooling family can relate to. 

Meet the Guest:

Vanessa is a wife and mother to 5 children (4 boys and 1 girl), their ages ranging from teen to toddler. Vanessa loves Jesus, books, and Diet Dr. Pepper. She has been homeschooling for 9 years.

Morning Time is a powerful tool for a Heart Schooling Parent, because it lends itself so well to understanding the hearts and learning styles of your children as well as affording amazing opportunities for conversation and relationship-building. All those things and more are integral to the Heart Schooling paradigm I teach in my new book. “Heart School, How Amazing Parents Become Excellent Home Educators”, can be purchased on our website, and I really encourage you to pick up a copy today. In it, you’ll not only get actionable insight on how to set up your own Heart School, but you’ll also be able to work through evaluations to see where you are today. I pray it’s an incredible resource for your family. Learn more about Heart School HERE.
