42. Why We Don't Do School in December (and neither should you)
Mon Dec 01 2025
If you've been feeling guilty because your homeschool has slowed to a crawl this month - or completely fallen apart now… this episode is for you.
I'm breaking down the truth no one tells new homeschool parents:
no one is doing "real school" in December - not public school, not private school, and certainly not homeschoolers who've been doing this for a while.
In this episode, you'll hear:
What actually happens inside public school classrooms in December The surprising (and powerful) academic + life skills your kids learn without a textbook What to do instead of forcing worksheets and structure during the busiest month of the year Why December is one of the richest learning months if you stop trying to make it "schoolish" And make sure you stay till the end - I share our family's newest obsession that blindsided us… and somehow turned into the coziest December hobby ever.
If you want a cozy, peaceful, connected December - instead of another month of pressure - join the 7-Day Cozy Homeschool Challenge:
