Homeschool Better Together with Pam Barnhill Christmas School for the Soul
Are you overwhelmed by the pressure to create Pinterest-perfect holiday memories in your homeschool? (Spoiler: so was I, and I’ve got some epic fails to share as proof!) If you’re feeling weighed down by Christmas school plans, elaborate crafts, and a to-do list longer than Santa’s, this episode is your permission slip to do less and experience more peace.
This week, I’m sharing why “Christmas School for the Soul” is a better plan than another jam-packed checklist. We’re reframing holiday homeschooling: less pressure, more joy. I’ll tell you about my own holiday mishaps (candy kiss countdown disaster, anyone?), what I’ve learned about letting go of perfection, and exactly how a simple morning time routine can offer both you and your kids the holiday anchor you actually need.
Let’s trade “doing more” for making meaning and let beauty do the heavy lifting. Whether you’re on top of things or not, this is your invitation to step off the treadmill and just be together. (Bonus: Don’t miss your FREE Advent Morning Time plans, made for your heart, not your checklist.)
What you’ll learn:
- Why you might need Advent Morning Time as much as your kids do
- How “Christmas School for the Soul” can be your stress antidote
- The danger of the holiday homeschool perfection trap (plus, my own hilarious fails)
- Three steps to a simpler, soul-filling holiday homeschool
- Why choosing a single “anchor” tradition is enough
- How to replace “more” with “meaningful” (and cut the guilt)
- How music, art, and poetry can do the hard work for you (so you don’t have to!)
- The real reason behind doing school during the holidays—and how to reclaim peace
