“I would enjoy the good, true, and beautiful subjects with my kids — and stress less about formal schooling.” If you’ve ever stared at a homeschool planner wondering how to fit it all in, you’re not alone. The pressure to keep up with academic checklists can sometimes overshadow the very reason we started homeschooling — to nurture a love for learning and a love for life. Today’s Podcast Gold Nugget comes from a mom who’s rediscovered what so many of us forget in the rush of lesson plans and testing deadlines: “I would enjoy the good, true, and beautiful subjects with my kids — and stress less about formal schooling.” There’s a deep truth here — that beauty, truth, and goodness are education. They’re the parts that make homeschooling rich and memorable: the art that sparks conversation, the music that brings peace, the poetry that softens a hurried heart, and the faith that weaves it all together. When we shift from “checking boxes” to “cultivating wonder,” homeschooling becomes more than school — it becomes a lifestyle of learning. These are the moments that build connection and character — when your child’s eyes light up over a watercolor sunset, or you both laugh through a Shakespeare line that suddenly makes sense. Listen & Learn: Felice Gerwitz, The Vintage Homeschool Moms Podcast reminds us that peace comes when we let go of perfection and embrace purpose. Her practical wisdom and faith-filled encouragement help parents rediscover joy in the learning journey — one beautiful moment at a time. Listen to Peaceful Parenting on the Vintage Homeschool Moms Podcast. Your Golden Takeaway: Let beauty interrupt your day. Read a poem. Paint with your kids. Listen to Bach or Bethel while folding laundry. These moments are not distractions — they’re the heartbeat of homeschooling.
