Hey everyone, welcome to The Smiling Homeschooler Podcast. Todd flies solo this week and he shares an honest look at homeschool basketball season — the joys, the exhaustion, and the commitment to showing up for our kids. He encourages parents not to feel guilty about what they aren't doing, but to celebrate the memories they are making. Todd then dives into the idea of “electives” in homeschooling — and why in a homeschool environment, everything can be an elective! From animation to hair styling to basketball, the things your children love can be just as valuable (or more valuable) than the so-called “core” subjects. As the holidays approach, remember that enjoying the season is school. Holiday crafts, traditions, decorating, and serving together are the real-life lessons your children will carry into adulthood. We want to thank Teaching Textbooks for making The Smiling Homeschooler possible. Their match curriculum helps thousands of homeschoolers smile each and every day, and we would encourage you to check it out for next school year over at teachingtextbooks.com. Also, today's show is being underwritten by Samaritan Ministries, a community of Christians who pay one another's medical bills, helping families take a safe step of faith as they feel God's leading in career or ministry changes, or in bringing moms home.

Feeling pressure to be induced just because it's Thanksgiving… or Christmas… or because your provider wants to “get things done before the holiday”? Mama, your birth is not meant to fit neatly into someone else's calendar. In this republished episode from 2024, Lori Morris, CNM, unpacks the truth behind “holiday inductions”—why they're almost never medically necessary, how to recognize convenience-based pressure, and how to confidently stand firm in God's timing and your body's design. In this episode, you'll learn: ✔ What's actually evidence-based when it comes to induction ✔ Why holiday schedules should not determine your birth decisions ✔ How to discern a true medical indication vs. convenience ✔ The real risks that come with unnecessary induction ✔ How to advocate for yourself with clarity and confidence ✔ Encouragement for trusting God's wisdom in your pregnancy Whether this is your first baby or your fifth, this conversation will help you feel informed, grounded, and empowered to make decisions aligned with your body and God's design. ✨ Want deeper support throughout pregnancy, birth, or postpartum?

They celebrate the start of the season with sponsor spotlights, hair-care confessions, and plans for a giant all-girls OnlyLands panel between Christmas and New Year's. Jackie announces the winners of the GART scavenger hunt, the crew recaps the weekend's karaoke moments and panel highlights, and Ashe dreams up a mock grand-jury event for the next GART, complete with jury selection chaos.

This week of Deck the Hallmark is presented by "A Tyler Shaw Christmas". Listen to this amazing Christmas album HERE. --Ryan joins us to review our first of two UpTV Christmas movies today — Saving the Christmas Ranch.ABOUT SAVING THE CHRISTMAS RANCHCarrie is racing against the clock: she has just two days to come up with nine months of mortgage payments or lose her family's beloved Christmas lodge. When John — a charming developer with unclear motives — shows up offering help, Carrie must decide whether he's a lifeline… or a threat. Holiday stakes, romantic tension, and small-town heart abound.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR SAVING THE CHRISTMAS RANCHNovember 16 2025 | UPtv.CAST & CREW OF SAVING THE CHRISTMAS RANCHBrianna Cohen as Carrie WilliamsJonathan Stoddard as John DunnBRAN'S SAVING THE CHRISTMAS RANCH SYNOPSISCarrie is busy running the ranch. She has a lot on her plate preparing for the Christmas festival and keeps adding things to her to-do list. She gets a call from a mob-boss-level intense banker who insists she come see him today. We find out why when we see him staring at the ranch's current balance… it's bad. It's NEGATIVE $1,038.A guy named John calls—again—to try to convince her to sell the ranch. She's not interested. So he decides he's just going to come stay at the ranch anyway.She goes to meet with the banker. It's not good. There's been some shady money stuff involving someone named Sandra Flowers, and Carrie has until 5 p.m. on Christmas Eve to come up with $15,000. That's only 48 hours. Not great!She calls an all-hands meeting and breaks the bad news: no bonuses… and probably much worse. They all get to work trying to figure out a way to save the Christmas ranch.John keeps trying to talk to her about his offer, but she's not budging. He's like, “I can tell how much you love this place. What if I fund building a bigger lodge and you still run it?” He believes there's huge potential for growth. Carrie is like, “I don't totally disagree… but still no deal.”John does a little snooping and discovers the truth—they're really struggling and owe 15k. We also find out that it was the banker who told John about the ranch in the first place, promising him a great deal if Carrie can't make the money.But John genuinely wants things to work out for Carrie because he wants her to stay and run the inn.Carrie ends up raising the money. It's looking great. She brings it to the banker and he's like, “Well, it's a start… You ran out so fast that you missed the part where I said you actually owe $50k.” So that's… devastating.Carrie decides she just wants to enjoy the festival and have some fun. She and John compete in the Reindeer Games together and WIN big time.Everything's looking up—until she catches John talking to the banker and gets furious. “YOU KNEW!”John's excited to hear she's doing an auction—maybe this will save the ranch! But… it's not actually a fundraiser for the ranch. It's for charity.But guess who shows up… SANDRA FLOWERS. She explains she took the money to help her brother get surgery. In fact, the banker told her he'd pay for the surgery if she stopped paying the mortgage and emptied the bank account. The banker pops in with a “YOU LIE!”The final auction item is a cake—and that money actually goes toward the ranch. It's looking like they'll only get about $300… until John pipes up and bids $50,000.He says he wants to stay at the ranch and call it home—with her. And they kissssss.

The holidays should bring peace. Instead, they often bring tension, unresolved hurt, and that one person who knows how to get under your skin. Today, Juli sits down with author and radio host Brant Hansen to talk about what it means to be "unoffendable"—especially when you're passing the mashed potatoes to someone you struggle to forgive. Guest: Brant Hansen   Follow-up Resources: Unoffendable by Brant Hansen How to Have Tough Conversations by Juli Slattery (blog) When Your Adult Child Makes Choices You Disagree With by Juli Slattery (blog) Follow Brant Hansen at @branthansen Follow Authentic Intimacy at @authenticintimacy  

The holidays are a beautiful season, but they can also be a season where your routine gets stretched. Travel, family gatherings, different foods, colder weather, unpredictable schedules. All of it can make consistency feel harder than usual. And if you've ever felt that tension between wanting to enjoy the moment and wanting to protect your progress, you are so not alone. In this episode, I am answering real questions from the Movement with Julie community about how to stay consistent through the holidays without guilt, pressure, or all-or-nothing thinking. We are talking about breaks, travel, motivation, rest, and how to stay anchored when your routine looks different. Here is what you will learn: How much progress you actually lose during time off What my personal bare-minimum workout routine looks like in busy seasons The mindset that keeps consistency alive when motivation is low The difference between discipline and self-pressure How I decide when to rest and when to push What to do after an off week so you do not get stuck in the spiral How to stay present with your family while still caring for yourself If you want to enjoy the holidays fully and still feel strong, steady, and confident in your body, this conversation will give you the reassurance and structure you need.
