Stop Choosing Between Structure and Freedom in Your Homeschool


Hi Reader!

That moment when your child's casual interest in growing potatoes turns into a full-blown science exploration...and ends up changing the high school science course you originally planned... Yep, that happened.

Or when your carefully planned math lesson transforms into an impromptu baking adventure teaching fractions...

These are the magical moments that make homeschooling unique.

But, how do you document them when they weren't on the lesson plans?

I'm excited to share my latest article in Homeschool Today Magazine, where I dive into finding that sweet spot between structured learning and natural exploration. As someone who's navigated this balance with my own children (including one who changed science courses because of a curiosity and another who needs hands-on everything!), I know firsthand how transformative the right blend can be.

In this article, you'll discover:

  • How to recognize and maximize natural learning opportunities
  • Practical ways to maintain structure without rigidity
  • Simple strategies for personalizing learning to your child
  • Real-life examples from our homeschool journey

Hi Reader! This is the time of year that many of us are asking questions about next year's curriculum. I know I am! And - just this week I had a mom ask me - "How do I plan for next year when I'm just trying to get through this year?" The truth is the way we think about planning can either help or stress us out. And I see this all the time in my coaching calls. Are you trying to finish today’s lesson while your brain is already thinking about next year’s curriculum? One moment, you’re helping...

Hi Reader! Can I share something personal with you? When people see our family now, they might assume we've got it all figured out. But behind our smiling social media posts and "put-together" moments, there's a deeper story. Our family has spent years in counseling, working through our own challenges while continuing to homeschool. Some days are beautiful, and others... well, let's just say I'm grateful for grace and fresh starts. I'm telling you this because I want you to know that this...

Hi Reader! Can I be honest with you for a moment? When I first started homeschooling my two children with ADHD, dyslexia, and anxiety, I felt completely overwhelmed.

Perhaps you've experienced: Watching your child struggle with a lesson that "should" be easy Trying to find teaching methods that actually work for your unique learner Feeling alone in...
