Raising A to Z | How To Balance Homeschool and Work

A few years ago, I attended a mompreneur conference where a mom asked how to balance working with kids underfoot. The speaker’s only advice? “Work while the kids are at school!”

That mom nearly cried... and honestly, as a homeschooling parent, I get it. We don’t have the option of sending our kids off for six hours a day. So, how do you make it work when you’re juggling work deadlines, homeschool lessons, and family life (all under one roof)?

In this video, I’m diving into the real struggles, realistic expectations, and practical strategies that make working and homeschooling possible.

Mompreneur Conference Story
The Struggles – Split attention, guilt, and unpredictability are real—but they don’t mean you’re failing.
Setting Realistic Expectations – Balance doesn’t mean equal time; it means being intentional and giving yourself grace.
Practical Strategies That Actually Work:
Time-blocking to stay focused and productive
Working from home tips – quiet baskets, routines, and focus signals
Working outside the home – flexible schooling hours and prioritizing essentials
Outsourcing help – partners, older homeschoolers, delivery services, and online classes
Outro

You don’t have to do everything perfectly. Homeschooling while working is messy, flexible, and full of tradeoffs—but it’s also doable and rewarding.
🌿 Give yourself permission to find a rhythm that fits this season of your life.
