Hey friends!
I’m so excited to finally share something that’s been on my heart (and my desk!) for quite some time… my brand new book is here! 🎉 It’s called Real Learning for Real Life: A Gentle Approach to the Middle Years, and it’s written especially for homeschooling families navigating grades 4 through 8.
As a mom who’s homeschooled for many years—and still going strong!—I know how important these middle years are. Kids are growing, maturing, and becoming more independent… but they still need guidance, encouragement, and learning that feels real and relevant.
This book is for the mom who wants to teach the important stuff—but in a way that actually works in real life. You don’t need to mimic a public school classroom to give your kids a rich, full education. You just need the right tools and a little confidence (and maybe a big cup of coffee 😉).
Inside the book, you’ll find:
✅ A clear breakdown of what to focus on in each subject (reading, writing, arithmetic—and more!)
✅ Gentle guidelines for what learning can look like at each grade level
✅ Practical advice, helpful checklists, and hands-on ideas
✅ Encouragement for YOU as the homeschool mom—because your mindset matters, too!
✅ Real-life examples, suggestions for living books, and ways to keep learning simple but meaningful
✨ PLUS—you’ll get access to over 500 pages of printable downloads to help support your teaching and bring the lessons to life!
This isn’t about checking every box or buying a ton of curriculum. It’s about making learning fit your family and letting your kids thrive in a home where education is a lifestyle—not just a list of assignments.
Whether you’re new to homeschooling or just need a fresh, no-pressure approach, this book will walk with you every step of the way.
