Become a confident Catholic homeschooling mom.

Catholic homeschooling support to ask your questions, get advice, and actually enjoy homeschooling

Your homeschooling questions, answered.

There aren't many places for homeschool moms to go to ask their questions. And so far "just figure it out" has resulted in unorganized chaos that leaves you with little patience or joy (and weeks of work to catch up on).

At Heart of a Mother, our job is to help you block out all the noise of people's opinions online (or the family BBQ or co-op) and figure out what will work for YOUR unique family. We help you have a simple, peaceful homeschool designed around your children's needs and enjoyable for you — and give you a place to go for help on the days when it isn't.

Want a homeschool that draws your family closer to the Lord?

The best way to do that is by supporting you, the homeschooling mom, because YOU are the heart of your homeschool.

Which is why here at Heart of a Mother, you won't just find advice — you'll also find spiritual resources, reminders of your true homeschooling mission, and a community ready to pray with and for you.

"The loveliest masterpiece of the heart of God is the heart of a mother."
- St. Therese of Lisieux

Freebies are our love language. ❤️

Take what you need for this stage of your homeschool journey!

Homeschooling advice you can actually trust

No more conflicting Facebook group comments that just leave you more confused. With Heart of a Mother, you get guidance that's

✔ Personalized for you (without the fear of running into us at co-op, so no need to censor the embarrassing stuff)

✔ Experienced + relatable, with veteran homeschool moms who are also still in the trenches of homeschooling

Unbiased, since we're not affiliated with any particular curriculum

✔ 100% Catholic, with your children's education and souls in mind

In other words? We give you strategies to teach your children in a way that honors God's unique design for them — and you.

Hi, I'm Jenny!

I'm a Catholic homeschooling mom of 4 with 17+ years of homeschooling experience and counting (including two young adults who I homeschooled from K-12!).

And you know what's gotten me through without constantly looking like this? 🤪

The community and advice of fellow Catholic homeschooling moms.

Along with our two other consultants, my goal is simple: To be the mom that others were to me, cheering you on, sharing advice, and leading our families closer to the Lord together.

It was very beneficial in being able to get an understanding of what I am doing right and recommendations on areas I have been struggling to find answers/solutions. I gained a better vision of what I want to accomplish.

- Susan, Heart of a Mother Client

It helps so much to have no judgement but be given clear steps on what to do first to pull us out of this mess.

- Sarah, Heart of a Mother Client

Jenny has a beautiful way of drawing out what's most important to you as a homeschooler and as a mother and woman. She is also very calming and helped allay many of my fears/worries/doubts.

Our favorite way to help?

1:1 Catholic homeschool consulting

Homeschooling is supposed to be different and tailored to each family...which means homeschooling advice should be too.

Our Catholic homeschooling consulting is affordable (starting at just $15!), practical, and individualized, which means you can ask questions and get answers tailored to your specific family.

Struggle with homeschool planning?

Enter Ponder, the year-end review process that makes planning so much easier (and maybe even something you look forward to?).
