In this episode of Home Education with Ease, Christine sits down with Genesis Hey Krick, mom of four, bestselling author, podcast host of Dream Ignite Build, and high-performance strategist, to talk all about designing a life that truly fits your family.

From flexible time-blocking to letting go of the Pinterest-perfect image of motherhood, Christine and Genesis share real-life strategies, funny stories, and raw reflections about making it all work as moms, entrepreneurs, and home educators.

They discuss how to navigate shifting seasons, how to involve your kids in planning, why it’s okay to intentionally “be bad” at something for a while, and how small pockets of time can add up to big progress.

If you’re craving both practical tips and heartfelt encouragement, this conversation will leave you inspired to embrace intentional living and create your own rhythm for family life, homeschooling, and business.

Head over to the Home Education with Ease Facebook Group and answer this week’s questions:

• If you could make one small change to master your days as a busy mom, what would it be? Is it a shift in your schedule, your mindset, or simply giving yourself permission to let something go?

Takeaways:

• You can thrive as a family, even if life is full, by choosing flexibility and intention over perfection.
• Flexible time-blocking allows you to shift tasks based on your energy, your kids’ needs, and daily surprises.
• Progress can happen in tiny pockets of time. Even 10 to 15 minutes can move your goals forward.
• It’s okay, and healthy, to intentionally “drop the ball” in one area for a season.
• Involving your kids in planning fosters ownership, teamwork, and smoother transitions between seasons.
• Each season of motherhood is fleeting, so cherish moments as they come, even if the dishes wait until tomorrow.
• Every family is unique. The perfect schedule or schooling method is the one that works for you right now.
