It’s 2:17 PM. Your coffee is cold. Again. There’s a small crushed constellation of goldfish crackers on the counter that you are pretending not to see. Someone is asking you how to spell “because” like it personally betrayed them. Your planner is open to a beautifully color coded schedule that now feels like fiction. And you’re fine. You’re always fine. You run on cold coffee, crumbs, and a mild delusion that this is sustainable. I say that with love, Reader. And a raised eyebrow. Because the...

hey girl hey Being a "good" homeschool mom is usually just a code word for being a burnt-out martyr with a Pinterest board you secretly hate. Hey Reader! This new year is kicking my butt a little. There feels like a lot of pressure to be “off to the races.” Especially with homeschooling lurking back into life this month. My sister keeps asking me what my New Year’s resolution is, and honestly, if one more person asks, mine is going to be "committing a victimless crime." Meanwhile, Facebook is...

Hey Reader! Just checking in — mostly to remind you that if today’s homeschool felt like a cross between a Pinterest fail and a slow-motion circus, you’re still doing just fine. Really. If your child completed three math problems and then dramatically collapsed because “division is emotional,” welcome to the club. We’ve all got jackets. They’re coffee-stained, but they’re jackets nonetheless. In fact, mine's sort of a ratty pink throw half-cardigan-half-jacket thing that I got 3x bigger with...

Hey Reader! How is your week going? Really…? It’s Wednesday already?? Surely you were just prepping for back to homeschool as well, like, just last week…and now we have 7 weeks until Christmas?! Speaking of, have you prepped for Christmas at all? Presents? I’d absolutely LOVE to hear if you have any Christmas traditions you do in your family! If you reply and tell me what it is (any traditions you do for Christmas each year), I’ll pick the top 5 coolest ones and gift the winners $20 in shop...

Hey Reader! Happy Friday, Lovely! I am so here for FriYay this week. What a whirlwind. We kicked off our homeschool year a few weeks ago, and let’s just say… easing back into the rhythm has been about as smooth as a gravel driveway. I’m finally finding my groove transitioning from one kid’s lessons to the next. But a few weeks ago, when we just started back? Whew. Let’s just say caffeine was my co-teacher. One thing that saved my sanity? Year-round homeschool schedules!! I pulled out all 7 of...

Hey Reader! Just popping in one last time before the clock hits midnight to remind you that Daniel’s 15th Birthday Blowout Bundle disappears tonight. This was my totally rational, definitely-not-emotional way of dealing with the fact that my firstborn is officially fifteen — by giving away thousands of dollars of homeschool resources for just $60. We're talking: All 7 Summit VIP Passes + 7 private podcasts of those workshops Every Course I've created ALL the printables, activities, and...

Hey Reader! It's been unbearably how lately. We’re somewhere between homeschool, summer survival mode, and “should I just burn it all down and start a homesteading YouTube channel?” The 7-year-old who maintains that pants are optional but narration is not, so I now live with a full-time background commentator who insists on providing a play-by-play of his Minecraft world while I try to edit summit content. Or Roblox. He'll talk to me the whole time he's playing while I'm sitting next to him,...

Hey Reader! This morning, I just wanted toast. That’s it. Just… toast. I wasn’t aiming high. I wasn’t dreaming big. Not artisan. No avocado. Not hand-baked by woodland elves. I just wanted a slice of bread, slightly crispy, with butter that melts like it knows it’s the main character. But no. First, I couldn’t find the bread. Because someone (not naming names but he’s 14 and acting like he's prepping for hibernation) polished off the loaf sometime between second dinner and midnight snack. And...
