Welcome to A Better Way to Homeschool!!

Life is busy in my neck of the woods, so I can assume it is for you as well… But we must never be so busy we can’t pause and say hi and share the advantages of homeschooling!

Oh, not every time. 

More than once, I’ve passed dear friends with a smile that said, “I see you but don’t have time to pause.” Don’t you love friends like that?

If you’re new here, I’d love to learn more about you. Are you still changing diapers or teaching teens to drive (or both?). Do you love homeschooling, coffee, or board games? There are no rules here, I poured myself a cup of coffee and am ready to listen. Just hit reply.

When you come to my house for the first time, I will give you a tour and show you every room. As an introvert, it gives me something to do with confidence and the walk around gets the conversation started.

I’d love to give you a guided tour:).

Let me give you a tour to my online home:)

A Better Way to Homeschool  is the location of our homeschool blog. We’ve been living here for over ten years. It’s filled with memories, pictures, ideas, activities and resources. In the old days, I’d have you write the address in the black address notebook you carried in your purse, today I suggest “bookmarking” the page.

We’ve been homeschooling for over 20 years and still have five healthy, intelligent, wonderful sons. And that’s me and my husband, still smiling… Pretty cool, huh?

Five sons.

It’s as crazy as it sounds. Here is rare footage of what it’s like feeding teenage boys. {14 second video}

Ask me!

If you need something specific, just ask. With that much time under my belt, I likely have just what you’re looking for! I’ve met some of the best homeschooling bloggers/coaches along the way too. I promise you, If I don’t have what you need I will know the person who will and I’ll introduce you!

Buffet Style Eating.

We usually serve guests from a buffet-style spread. It’s just more comfortable.

I have a buffet for you too, filled with way too much for you to actually digest in one sitting, but here are the favorites from other homeschool moms.

Homeschool Mom’s Huddle: A Wonderful group of homeschool moms who meet twice a month online to learn about a focused area of homeschooling, teaching, or parenting. Established in August of 2018, new huddle members gain instant access to all the previous videos and printables shared during the huddles.

The best part? When you join the huddle, you get instant access to ALL of the past huddles! Topics like:

• Praying for our kids
• How to teach kids to write
• Hands-on activities for math
• How to teach kids manners
• Internet Safety
• Communication skills and so much more!

The huddle is a subscription that gives you 2 huddles (LIVE and comes with forever replays), printables from each new huddle and a growing community of homeschool moms ready to make this special “club” specialer. (Yes, I was taught to create words like Dr. Seuss!)

Join the Huddle here.

Only for my Besties

We all have that one space we only show our best friends. Sometimes it’s a door that we never open, for me it’s the things I’ve created with my heart.
The Inside Out Homeschooling masterclass << is my passion project.

This class is specifically why I began reaching out to other homeschoolers. To help them see the beauty of teaching kids from the inside out rather than from the first pages of a curriculum set.
