There is no one I’d rather learn new skills and There is no one I’d rather learn new skills and makeover spaces with than this guy 🥰

We recovered the RV couch. 🙌🏼 I love it! My goal is to re-do the RV in a way that is a nod to our Maui house 💕🌺🤙🏼 

More remodel reels to come as we slowly remodel our motorhome! 🙌🏼 (Also, I still can’t believe I didn’t take a better before photo 🤪)

Spend a morning with me learning about homeschool. Spend a morning with me learning about homeschool. 💕 Gather the information, resources, & confidence you need to happily move forward in your homeschool journey. 🙂

Every homeschool journey is unique to each family. I honor that in my online course Homeschool Explained. 🥰

Your time is also valuable. I honor that as well by condensing over 15 years of homeschool experience into 3 hours. It’s presented in a logical, easy to follow, easy to understand way that builds on itself. Homeschool Explained will save you hours of time & worry by eliminating the need for countless online searches. It addresses some of the most common questions and concerns I’ve gotten from parents. 🙂 

If you feel like you or your spouse need support in your homeschool, I’m here…& happy to help 💕 

Comment “homeschool” below and I’ll send you the link to the course 😘
Here’s an unpopular opinion that I stand by. And Here’s an unpopular opinion that I stand by. And if we have to make it “popular” for us to maintain our freedom to homeschool our children, so be it. Who’s ready to make homeschool “popular” and “the norm?” 🙋🏻‍♀️

March 16, 2023…A year ago today, Chris and I pac March 16, 2023…A year ago today, Chris and I packed up our 3 little girls, our 3 month old son, and 8 suitcases & flew away from our beloved home on Maui. Chris was remodeling our home until the moment we had to leave. I took a picture of him standing in the unfinished shower and then said, “You have to stop. It’s time to go.” He changed out of his work clothes, threw them in the dumpster, put the last of his tools into our container that was picked up later that day, and we drove to the airport. I remember that drive. It was so surreal. We took the road I’d taken thousands of times. The finality of it all was there but blurry. I had to be strong for my kids and our friends who were there to tell us “a hui hou.”

I purposefully booked our final flight with Hawaiian Airlines, hoping for one last piece of aloha. Instead, we were treated like crap. I was harassed by flight attendants for drinking too much water and not wearing my mask 100% of the time. They chastised me for not being able to pull my mask up immediately when I was nursing my 3 month old son...(continued in the comments).
Hold on to your kids. Sending them away is the rad Hold on to your kids. Sending them away is the radical idea. Keeping them at home to be loved and guided by me is compassionate. It feels right. I know it’s right. Breaking apart my family for hours that quickly turn into years “because that’s just what people do these days” has never sat well with my spirit. So I do what is best for me, my children, and my family I do what promotes connect, love, and a genuine love of learning. I homeschool. If you want to homeschool, I want to help.

Learning Self-Sufficiency & Homesteading Science w Learning Self-Sufficiency & Homesteading Science with Kody Hanner 👩🏻‍🌾

“The modern homestead movement is 100% a state of mind. It’s the strive for self-sufficiency.” -Kody Hanner, EM Episode 143

My friend Kody Hanner wrote a homestead curriculum that my family adores. It’s being used by homeschoolers, schools, and I know some adults who could benefit from the huge amount of information in her homestead curriculum. Kody joins us today to talk about her curriculum, how it came to be, the modern homestead movement, life-long learning, parenting, and so much more. 

Kody has generously offered a discount code for listeners of Elevating Motherhood. Use the code LORIBETH at your @homestead_education checkout 🙂 

Kody’s Bio: Kody is a wife of a veteran, mother of 6, homesteader, and homeschooler, that has devoted her life to agriculture and embracing rural living. She created and authored the Homestead Education series of homeschool curricula that includes homestead science. She is the host of The Homestead Education Podcast, which is rapidly growing in popularity where she chats candidly about homesteading, homeschooling, and personal growth.

Kody is incredibly capable and humbly inspiring. Give the episode a listen & give her a follow 😘
This deserves a permanent place on my feed. 💜 W This deserves a permanent place on my feed. 💜 When I take the time to think about what a “good day” in my house looks like vs. a hectic day, this is the difference. If I pray, nourish my family, and pray about what to do next, the stress of artificial timelines created by me fades away and I’m able to be more present (and less yell-y). When I try to lean on my own limited strength and an overly full calendar, things fall apart. I’m in a season of multiple nightly wakeups. We live in a world of consumerism and overwhelm. Given those factors, I can’t rely on my strength alone. 

If you’re having a hectic day, try praying. If you’ve never prayed before during a hectic day, I encourage you to give it a try. “Lord, give me strength. I cannot do it alone. Help me in this moment. Show me the next right thing.”
