Listen to “CHM058:Finding God In Your Homeschool with Carlie Kercheval” on Spreaker.
On today’s show, I had the pleasure of interviewing Carlie Kercheval, a busy military wife and mompreneur who loves God and family.
Carlie Kercheval is a happily married stay-at-home homeschooling mom. She and her college sweetheart have been blessed with 3 precious children to raise while traveling the world as a military family. Carlie is the founder of So You Call Yourself a Homeschooler?™, Today’s Frugal Mom™, and Managing Your Blessings. She is also the co-author of the Learning to Speak Life™ family Bible studies and co-host of the Learning to Speak Life™ Radio Show. When she is not busy enjoying her family and the great outdoors, you can typically find her cozied up somewhere under a blanket with a good book. You can connect with her on Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter.
We started our conversation with Carlie’s favorite bible verse: Ephesians 4:29.
Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers
What Carlie and I talked about
- About herself and her family. She loves Jesus, her husband, the outdoors, and hiking.
- How she began homeschooling. Carlie is a homeschool mom who didn’t start off wanting to homeschool, but the Lord drew her heart into home education. She and her husband work together to make the decision to homeschool.
- How her experience as a military wife and mom has affected her homeschooling. Because of homeschooling, transitioning has been a little easier (not having to go in and out of school systems.) While living in Germany, she and her family had opportunities to experience life-changing field trips. Although her husband has been through many deployments, they have worked through issues together as a team and submitted to the Lord’s will for their family- which has made their homeschooling experience easier. It’s all about: togetherness, teamwork, and trust.
- She tells us about some of the newer online projects she’s working on. Carlie began Today’s Frugal Mom and she shares her inspiration for beginning this project. We also touched a bit on the topic of couponing.
