Advent is so exciting! There are countless beautiful activities and traditions to celebrate the season and prepare for Christmas as a homeschooling family! And many of us feel like we need to do all of them, every year!

But trust me when I say: Taking the time to prayerfully plan your Advent season will ensure you choose simple, meaningful ways that will not overwhelm you and will create lasting memories for your children!

Originally, the Advent Planning Workshop was a gift to myself to identify how to best share the joy in Christ's coming with my family. The reflection I developed and then shared online has now provided many mamas with the opportunity to pray, ponder, and plan intentionally for the season in a way that works for their unique families.

And I would love to bless you with the prayers and questions which will allow you to ponder in your mother's heart what brings peace and joy to your holiday season!

This workshop is completely free with the recording available for one week to those who sign up —  so save your spot now! ⬇

Here's what we'll do in just one hour:

pray

Pray with me at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end for the Lord's guidance over our reflection and the decisions we make regarding our Advent season.

ponder

Answer a series of reflection questions designed to help each mom discern the focus and activities which will bless your family this year and not cause overwhelm.

plan

Write out the practical aspects of your Advent plan and prioritize carefully in order to keep things simple and ensure peace and joy throughout your holidays.

FREE on November 13th with the recording available for one week afterwards!

Hi, I'm Jenny! I'm a Catholic homeschooling mom with four kids who I've homeschooled for the past 17+ years...and still going!

I started Heart of a Mother with two goals: to connect Catholic homeschooling moms and create a space where we could learn from and support one another.

Over the past five years, I've consulted with hundreds of Catholic homeschool families to answer their questions about everything from practical subject matter to curriculum selection to how do I keep going without losing my mind?

And I can tell you, the information in all of my workshops and masterclasses is the advice, strategies, and support I need to hear myself — and love to share with you!
