"Am I doing this homeschooling thing right?"

"How do we decide if homeschooling is for us?"

"How can I figure out the right curriculum for our family?"

"Is the problem the curriculum, my student, or me?"

"How do I keep my kid on track?"

"Am I doing enough?"

"What about high school? And college? And socialization?"

"Am I even cut out for this?"

Homeschooling comes with a lot of questions...and unfortunately, these solutions aren't provided in the answer key in the back.

Let us be your answer key. Our Catholic homeschool consultants will help you make a plan and discern the next right step for your family's homeschool journey.

What if homeschooling didn't have to =

chaotic, lost, and frazzled?

You went into homeschooling with an idyllic picture - Pinterest-perfect homeschool space rivaling a one room schoolhouse, tons of time to explore each child's interests, and docile children quietly doing math, reading in a comfy chair, or exploring a local museum.

And then reality hit.

Now, you're breaking up sibling fights while simultaneously feeding the baby and attempting to explain adverbs, you're a month behind in math, and the only "field trip" was to the dollar store for supplies for a project you'll never actually have time to do.

Take a deep breath, mama. You may feel like it's all on you, but you DON'T have to do homeschooling alone. What you need is an experienced Catholic homeschool mom who has been there to share her advice and help you come up with a realistic plan - and that's exactly what we do with our Catholic Homeschool Consults.

What is a Catholic Homeschool Consult?

It's a 1:1 conversation over chat, phone, or video with a veteran Catholic homeschool consultant to figure out the best homeschooling strategies for your unique family.

➡ You tell us about your unique family/situation and ask your questions.

➡ We offer answers, resources, and a plan to move forward.

➡ You leave feeling confident and excited, and your homeschool - and children - bloom.

All from a non-judgmental, unbiased, and experienced fellow homeschool mom who gets it.

Here's What We Can Help You With:

Whether you have a quick, practical question or a full-on, "I don't know if I can do this" homeschooling existential crisis, we've got you. We can

✔ Help you make curriculum decisions

✔ Answer all the "new to homeschooling" fears or help you salvage your current homeschool

✔ Share time management strategies for balancing homeschooling, work, and kid wrangling

✔ Diagnose what the "problem" is in a difficult homeschool

✔ Walk you through teaching a specific subject, learning style/disability, or grade level (yes, even high school transition)

✔ Offer a listening ear to vent, encouragement, and strategies to avoid burnout and make it more fun!

And honestly so much more. Because the best part? Our consults are 100% personalized - no more scouring blogs and Facebook groups trying to make general advice work for your unique family.

A Catholic homeschool consult is especially for you if

➡ Every Sunday night, you tell your husband "THIS is the week we're going to catch up on math" (despite not having any practical plans on how to actually do that).

➡ You feel like you've "failed" at homeschooling, and you aren't the homeschool mom you want to be.

➡ You simultaneously feel completely overwhelmed and yet worry that you're not doing enough.

➡ Your school, your house, and your mind are all a mess, and you've lost all joy in homeschooling.

➡ You're always this close 👌 to yelling "That's it! You're all going back to school!" even though you don't really mean it
(but you also kind of do).

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

Become the homeschool mom you want to be.

With a Catholic homeschool consult, you can get practical strategies to

🌻 Create a realistic plan with a homeschooling expert who will help you problem solve.

🌻 Embrace your mission with a faithful Catholic who will pray for you and remind you of your purpose as you lead your children to Christ.

🌻 Actually enjoy your homeschool with advice from a veteran homeschool mom who will guide you out of homeschooling burnout to find joy again.

Here's what that looks like in reality ⬇

You go from:

❌ Drowning in survival mode and being perpetually behind

❌ Tensing up whenever you have to teach that subject to that child

❌ Being overwhelmed by all the choices and resources and how to make them fit your family

❌ Worrying that you aren't doing enough or you don't know what you're doing

❌ Feeling like you've failed at homeschooling

To:

✅ Starting your day calmly because you know exactly what you're going to do - and how to make it fun

✅ Knowing how to calmly adjust and meet the needs of each of your children without neglecting everything else

✅ Easily discerning what works for your family

✅ Feeling confident in your children's progress

✅ Designing and enjoying a simple, manageable, and joyful homeschool

But you should know...

🚫 We don't tell you what to do.
God has given you all the graces you need to do this! We just guide you so you can use those graces to make a confident decision as the primary educator of your children.

🚫 We're not affiliated with any particular curriculum.
Which means you'll get completely unbiased advice when it comes to your choices.

🚫We're not mindset coaches.
Rather, we mix the practical and the emotional. So we can share strategies for working through burnout as well as answer practical questions like "How do I teach trigonometry to my kiddo with this kind of brain?"

🚫We won't judge you.
Seriously. We know you love your children. We know you're doing everything you can to give them a good education. It's safe to be vulnerable here.

We're not just Catholic homeschool consultants...

we're also veteran homeschooling moms.

Together, we have more than 35 years of homeschooling experience with our combined 15 children - and we're still in the trenches!

All three of our consultants are still actively homeschooling and have done it all - homeschooling with babies around, juggling work while homeschooling, scheduling around husbands with demanding jobs, managing learning differences, and yes, homeschooling through high school!

We can help you because we've been there. From "homeschooling is the BEST!" days to wanting to throw in the towel and send them to school - we've experienced and felt it all, and we're ready to guide you through it too.

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.
