Creative Homeschooling

When someone with real experience offers a gentle suggestion, it’s not criticism — it’s a gift. Our kids need more than praise; they need mentors willing to share what they’ve learned the hard way.

Feeling burned out in your homeschool? Here’s how art can reset the mood — without adding more to your plate.

You don’t have to be a professional artist to lead meaningful art lessons in a co-op. In this post, I share strategies for teaching art confidently, engaging students of multiple ages, and helping them develop real skills — even if you don’t have formal training.

Art is often the subject parents skip, but it’s more than a “nice-to-have.” In this post, I explore why teaching art matters, how it supports thinking and creativity, and how you can integrate meaningful lessons even on a busy homeschool schedule.

Copying teaches technique—but it’s not the same as finding your voice. In this post, I explore the difference between imitation and expression, and why helping kids discover their own style matters more than we think.

Make plant science hands-on, engaging, and academically meaningful. This botany workbook for grades 5–12 teaches real science skills while giving students space to explore, observe, and reflect — perfect for multi-age homeschool settings.

I didn’t write our botany book for perfect students—I wrote it for real kids. The curious ones. The distracted ones. The ones who ask weird questions and collect seed pods in their pockets. This is why hands-on, story-rich science matters, and how it changed the way I teach.

Created during one of our family’s most stressful seasons, this retro space-themed gratitude journal offers simple, uplifting prompts to help kids and adults reframe their thinking—one small reflection at a time.
