I made something for you!

Hi Reader! I've been deep in curriculum development as Director of GrowthMinded at Big Life Journal, and I meet weekly with parents at Bright & Quirky who are raising kids that learn differently. And the thing I hear over and over is this: they know their child learns differently. They just don't know what to do about it on a Tuesday morning when nothing is working. So I made you something. 👉 Download: Teach the Way They Learn — Your Free Guide LM Teach the Way They Learn.pdf​ It's a mini-guide walking through five learning profiles: ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and processing challenges. For each one, you'll find real challenges, hidden strengths, and teaching strategies that work. I wrote this because I've lived it. My daughter has dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and ADHD. My son has ADHD and struggles with anxiety. I've spent years figuring out what works, not from a textbook, but from sitting across from my kids at 11am when nothing was clicking. I want you to see your child's learning differences the way I've learned to see them: not as problems to fix, but as profiles to understand. When you know how their brain works, you can stop guessing and start teaching in a way that actually reaches them. I hope this gives you something useful this week. Here's to knowing our kids! Warmly, P.S. I'm doing a series on Instagram called Accommodations You Don't Need Permission For, with tips and strategies you can start using right now in your homeschool.

Hi Reader! Before I begin a new school, it's been so helpful for me to name our priorities. I'll have priorities for myself, my family as a whole and for each individual child. This helps me know how I want to show up in the next year and what I have the capacity for. There were years we were navigating a move, taking care of parents as they reached the end of life, regaining our health, working through learning challenges. When life become challenging, our priorities shifted to creating...
Hi Reader! There's a page in the Homeschool Essentials Yearly Planner that we feel is so important, we actually put it in both the Yearly & the Daily Planner. It's not the curriculum map. It's not the schedule. It's the Know Your Why page. Because here's what I know after years of working with homeschool families: the moms who navigate the hard days well... they know why they're doing this. They have it written down somewhere they can return to. That "somewhere" is this page. When life...
Hi Reader! I'm writing this from a back patio in Pennsylvania. It's our last day here before heading home. Every morning I've gotten to watch an Amish farmer work his fields, and there's something about it that just slows you down. We took a trip into Lancaster to stock up on all the good stuff. We got Amish rolled butter, shoofly pie, whoopie cookies, syrups, oils, Lebanon bologna. (Our RV fridge is not packed!) It's been a good reminder that connection isn't built in the big moments. It's...
