    How to Take Care of Yourself as a Homeschool Mom

    How to Take Care of Yourself as a Homeschool Mom: What Self-Care Actually Is This month’s 1% Pivot: Nurture Yourself to Nurture Them—because if you’ve been wondering how to take care of yourself as a homeschool mom and nurture the nurturer, this episode is for you. By year 15 of homeschooling, I had written nearly 600 blog posts—every Wednesday night at Starbucks, processing my journey through words. That writing became therapy, self-discovery, and emotional regulation. And in 2018, it became a book that would resonate with thousands of exhausted homeschool moms. This month’s 1% Pivot: Nurture Yourself to Nurture Them. Because homeschool moms give endlessly—but so often, we forget that we need nurturing too. And when we’re depleted, our kids feel it. What You’ll Discover in This Episode What Self-Care Actually Is: Why self-care isn’t about bubble baths and manicuresHow to address your internal worldHow to recognize the invisible load of motherhoodHow you show up in relationship to yourself—and others The Invisible Load You’re Carrying: Managing everyone’s emotional stateHolding the family cultureMaking a thousand micro-decisions a dayNavigating sibling conflictsKeeping the household runningAnd somehow also supposed to enjoy doing it all The Three Questions That Changed Everything: When overwhelm rises, put your hand on your heart and ask: How do I feel?What am I thinking?Is that thought true? Not to convince yourself everything is fine—but to get clear and accurate about what’s actually happening inside you. Self-care isn’t about the nail studio. It’s about caring for the part of you that you’ve been ignoring. The part of you that deserves to be known. Why This Matters for Your Kids: Your kids don’t need you to have it all together. They need you to model what it looks like to come back to yourself when you’ve lost it. They need to see that emotions are okay to feel—and then you ask yourself what you need.

  • How to Do Kindergarten in Your Homeschool: A Fun & Effective Guide

    How to Do Kindergarten in Your Homeschool: A Fun & Effective Guide
    Jan 29 2026
    So, how to do kindergarten in your homeschool? Whether you’re brand new to homeschooling or simply wondering how to create a meaningful kindergarten year at home, let’s dive into the possibilities. 🎥 Want to see exactly how I’d do it differently after 20 years of homeschooling? Homeschooling kindergarten offers a unique opportunity to create a personalized and engaging educational journey right from the beginning. You learn to nurture their natural curiosity (& watch them learn without direction), foster that love for learning everyone talks about, and build a strong foundation for a purposeful, unique future. You won’t get clear on your ideas about homeschooling straightaway. Just consider this year as a learning opportunity for you: learning about how children learn, learning about your specific child, learning how to relate to your child, learning what you need, and building a supportive community too. Get your Confident 1st Year Homeschool Roadmap and watch my exclusive video “How I Would Do Kindergarten Differently, Fifteen Years Later” where I share the simple framework that makes kindergarten homeschool joyful, not stressful. Get your Confident 1st Year Homeschool Roadmap In this “How to Do Kindergarten in your Homeschool” guide: Is Homeschool Kindergarten Right for Your Family?My Kindergarten Journey: From School to HomeschoolHow to Do Kindergarten in Your Homeschool: What You Actually NeedSimple Daily Activities & RoutinesResources & Next Steps Is Homeschool Kindergarten Right for Your Family? I didn’t actually contemplate whether I should homeschool kindergarten. My oldest was already in kindergarten when I discovered home education. I had picked up a book called The Homeschooling Option: How to Decide If It’s Right for You after hearing from another family that they were considering homeschooling. This seemed backward and inconceivable to me. Surely I would not have the patience. Surely I would never exercise again or think two consecutive thoughts or be alone anymore. And surely the school system existed for a reason: why recreate it? I definitely saw the challenges of this life immediately. But here’s what I also saw: My daughter wasn’t really learning that much in kindergarten. She may have picked up on some things in class, but there wasn’t any challenge. She was primarily there for social reasons—which isn’t bad, but it’s also not particularly good either. I noticed she was super tapped after class and wasn’t emotionally able to regulate as easily as she had been before. And practically speaking? I had to drive 20 minutes each way to pick her up and drop her off—with a toddler and a baby in tow. I had to wake my baby up at nap time to go get my daughter. Meanwhile, I had already started doing activities with my second daughter at home: her ocean sticker book, her letter book, crafts, all sorts of fun activities I’d stashed in a kitchen cupboard. When I returned home from dropping my daughter off, I’d clean up the massacre of a kitchen, wash my face (hopefully), and then we’d sit and do activities for an hour at the table. I was already homeschooling. I just didn’t know it yet. That’s when I started seriously asking myself: how would I do kindergarten in my homeschool if I pulled her out? What would it actually look like? Fast forward two decades: I’m selling all my homeschool curriculum two summers ago (or at least some of it), and families with six-year-olds are in my great room. Each of those kiddos was very different, but each of them was very smart and asking very interesting questions—and mom would eagerly answer all of those questions. After two decades of home educating four kids and supporting hundreds of homeschool families and their children, here’s what I’ve learned: A profound education could be provided for a child simply by answering all their questions. (By the way, don’t try to do that because it would be exhausting. But nonetheless, a very meaningful, purposeful education could be brought to a 4, 5, or 6-year-old just by answering their questions.) “But Is My Child Ready? Should We Start at 4, 5, or 6?” What is the right age for formal learning? Certainly there are books and research studies and a conventional education system that has many opinions on this. But I’ve raised four children, and these are my anecdotal notions: Kids come out of the womb wanting to understand and learn things. They want to learn different things. It’s hard to entice them toward certain things because they just don’t care about those things. But then they are deeply and eagerly interested in other things, and they want to follow those rabbit trails. This is so because we’re all different. I’m sure you and I could speak to our own experiences learning since very young and focusing on various topics throughout the two decades we spent growing up to become adults. But we are certainly all different. So how do ...
