Hey Reader! How's your Sunday going? I'll let you in on a secret: Homeschool and Humor is going to have an exclusive membership! One that gives you UNLIMITED ACCESS to resources, mom courses, summits, lesson plans, unit studies, and more! 🙌🏻 But I want to make sure you have exactly what you need. Do you have a minute? If so, I’d love to hear more about things you’re struggling with these days. The more I know about where you’re at right now in your homeschooling journey, the more I can help. Even your motherhood journey. So whether you’re struggling with finding the right curriculum or juggling homeschooling with household chores, I'm all ears. Go ahead, hit reply and tell me all about it. I promise to respond within the next couple of days. And yes, it's really me on the other side of this screen! If you want to give me more detail and tell me what your ideal mom membership would be, or what you would really want more than anything, at the heart of it, in order to help you get/do/overcome/encourage that thing you really want more, you can fill out this quick feedback form. Otherwise, a quick reply would be just as great! However, to say thank you for your time, when you fill out that form, you'll get a free, exclusive weekly plan/unit study planner, never before released. (It's pretty, too!) They have a few different variations (I think maybe 4 or 5 different versions?) as well as color and black/white versions for each variation. No one has ever received these – you'll be the first! I've been watching Demon Slayer and one part I love from it is this: We're humans, after all. And there are things that are outside of our control.
Whether I'm happy or not is up to me, even if it feels like the world is against me. What's most important is that we keep moving forward together and fight if we must.
I love that. In fact, any movie, book, or TV show that encapsulates unity and fighting the good fight always grips me. And Demon Slayer is SO good! (You can catch it on Netflix right now!) In fact, I want my future husband to be half Tanjiro from Demon Slayer and half Jack Pearson from This Is Us. 😏 We aren't experts at everything. It's okay to inquire for knowledge – isn't that the very thing you're teaching your kids by homeschooling them? You and I may be fighting the good fight, doing the best we can, even on the days we're racked with mom guilt or down from being down-on-our-luck. But we ARE fighting this good fight...together. And that makes all the difference in the world, I believe. I want to spend all my time with other moms who know what I'm going through, who feel what I feel, who can offer encouragement, tips, and support in the areas I need it in, and who are open to receiving the same. That's why I'm making this mom membership, and that's why I want your input about it. I want it to be your virtual home. Hit reply and tell me what would make you excited to join a membership and what you’d want inside—just for you. Whether it’s homeschooling mama support through resources, lesson plans, and workshops, virtual meetups (or once-a-year retreats), topical self-paced courses, private podcasts, or if you’d love home management tools, faith-based inspiration, or something else entirely – I want to know what would make this membership truly valuable for you. Your feedback matters! And if you fill out the form, you get the exclusive weekly plan/unit study planner instantly once you submit the survey! Not only that, but you will also get a special discount for the membership! (Just make sure you include your name in the survey form and don't leave it anonymous.) Your input is truly appreciated, Reader! xo, |

Hey Reader! Whew, these last few weeks at the Richie household have been a whole saga. Like, if Netflix filmed us, we’d at least get 3 seasons and a bonus Christmas special. I'm sure you can relate. I'm nearly finished with Attack on Titan (an anime), and even Daniel and Zoey (my 14 yo son and 13 yo daughter, respectivel) haven't seen it yet. My daughter thinks it's so cool that I'm the only adult / parent she knows who likes anime. Honestly? I'm just reclaiming my youth in 20-minute episodes...
Hey Reader! My youngest marches into the kitchen as if he just discovered gravity and proudly declares, "Amo means I love." I slow blink. This is the same child who once tried to spell ‘cat’ with a Q. So yes, I paused mid-coffee and stared, because clearly something magical (or suspicious) was happening. That moment confirmed what I had recently read: Latin is actually one of the best foreign languages to start with, thanks to how closely it connects with English. I’m kind of floored about...
Hey Reader! Earth Day is coming up, and I’ve been reflecting on the beauty of our planet and the profound ways that we have put it at risk. For us, our children, and our children's children. Do you ever think about the Earth and what it'll be like in, say, 50 years from now? 100 years from now? Ever seen that movie Idiocracy? 😂 Well, if I'm not sure of anything else, I'm fairly certain we won't be opposed to drinking water... Earth Day is more than another date on the calendar. It’s a call to...
