DESIGN YOUR FAMILY'S UNIQUE HOMESCHOOL THAT YOU'LL LOVE! https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/blueprint     When you look around at other families, it's pretty easy to tell that you all do family a little bit differently. Sometimes, you can't quite put a finger on what that is. But, today, we're going to explore family culture. You have one. And so does everyone else.  I have a list of questions that are foundational for unpacking your unique family culture. Grab a pen and paper to write these down. Then afterwards, take some time to answer these questions to get to the heart of your family culture. Your family is essential to your homeschool and when you understand who you are at the core, it makes leaning into your unique homeschool so much easier. ♥ Leigh     TEACH THEM DILIGENTLY CONVENTION: https://teachthemdiligently.net/invite/leigh.nguyen/   LITTLE BY LITTLE HOMESCHOOL CONFERENCE TICKETS:  https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/conference   GET EXCLUSIVE MENTORSHIP WITH LEIGH https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/mentorship   SIMPLIFY YOUR MEAL PLANNING https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/meal   CREATE YOUR HOMESCHOOL FAMILY'S HOME TASK SYSTEM https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.com/tidyhome      Website -  https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.com Newsletter -  https://littlebylittlehomeschool.subscribemenow.com/ Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/homeschoollifestylecommunity  Follow - https://www.instagram.com/littlebylittlehomeschool/ Connect - info@littlebylittlehomeschool.com   Listen to these related episodes: 175.

DESIGN YOUR FAMILY'S UNIQUE HOMESCHOOL THAT YOU'LL LOVE! https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/blueprint     Homeschooling is about way more than school academics. It's creating a relationship that welcomes open dialogue and discussion about anything and everything. One of those topics should be our bodies and how we can take care of them well. And that includes our pelvic floor.  Today's guest is Jenn Lormand of Tighten Your Tinkler and we are specifically focusing on sharing all about pelvic floor health with your daughter.  Many of us weren't taught about this and had to quickly learn after a health crisis or bothersome symptoms. Our goal in this episode is to equip you with some actionable information so that you can begin to teach your daughter how to be proactive in her health. As we mention in the beginning of this episode, it is rated G, but you may want to listen with ear buds or when your children aren't around so that you may gather information and dispense it as is appropriate for your family. ♥ Leigh   TIGHTEN YOUR TINKLER WEBSITE: https://www.tightenyourtinkler.com/  COURSE (USE CODE LITTLE50 TO SAVE $50!):  https://www.tightenyourtinkler.com/signatureprogram 5 Minute Root Cause Quiz (for moms): https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/6YGTYNF Resource page: https://www.tightenyourtinkler.com/support Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tighten.your.tinkler/ YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@tightenyourtinkler         CREATE YOUR HOMESCHOOL FAMILY'S HOME TASK SYSTEM https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.com/tidyhome    LITTLE BY LITTLE HOMESCHOOL CONFERENCE TICKETS:  https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/conference   GET EXCLUSIVE MENTORSHIP WITH LEIGH https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/mentorship   SIMPLIFY YOUR MEAL PLANNING https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/meal       Website -  https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.com Newsletter -  https://littlebylittlehomeschool.subscribemenow.com/ Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/homeschoollifestylecommunity  Follow - https://www.instagram.com/littlebylittlehomeschool/ Connect - info@littlebylittlehomeschool.com   Listen to these related episodes: 34.
