I was a homeschool graduate back in the “dark ages” when it wasn’t cool. Later I became a third grade teacher (B.S., M. Ed.) for five years then private tutor, and years later I finally had the chance to homeschool my own babies. We are on our fifth year of homeschooling now (as of 2025-2026), starting when my oldest was in kindergarten.

I share resources, curriculum, and reviews to support homeschooling parents through the elementary school years. From curriculum reviews to book recommendations, my goal is to make your homeschooling journey easier.

Parenting is no joke!! And teaching our own kids on top of that…well, let’s just say it can be challenging. So, I hope to help ease the burden by applying some of my own experience and enjoyment of research to help smooth the road for you! I have gleaned so much from other mamas who have gone before me, and I’m eager to bring you along on this exciting and crazy ride!
