Mom & Dad, let’s be honest—if homeschooling feels like a full-time grind, you’re doing too much the hard way. You didn’t bring your babies home to be the stressed-out drill sergeant or run some soul-draining classroom clone. You came here for connection. For truth. For healing.

So let’s make this work in a way that actually feels good in your bones and flows with your family’s energy—not the system’s noise.

1. Ditch The 8-Hour School Day Nonsense

We’re not mimicking broken systems over here. You don’t need 6–8 hours of “sit your butt down and listen” time to raise a smart, capable human. That’s not homeschooling—that’s emotional warfare disguised as structure.

🔥 Real Talk: Most homeschooled kids thrive in 2–4 solid hours max. And honestly? Life teaches more than worksheets ever will.

✨ Your Sacred Shifts:

  • Knock out core skills like reading and math in short bursts when your kid’s brain is fresh.
  • Grocery store = math. Cooking = chemistry. Talking through feelings = emotional literacy.
  • If your child’s energy is off? Pause. Rest is part of the lesson. That’s nervous system regulation in real time.

💡Your intuition knows what’s “enough.” Trust it more than any curriculum.

2. Use Healing Rhythms Instead Of Rigid Schedules

If your day feels like a chaotic race, you’re trying to replicate a structure that was never meant for freedom-loving families in the first place.
We’re not out here doing bells and blocks. We’re creating a sacred rhythm.

✨ Flow Instead Of Force:

  • Morning grounding → nourishing breakfast → intentional learning window → nature time → creative/free play → family connection.
  • Use sound, scent, and space to shift energy—soft music, cinnamon oil, palo santo, whatever calls you.
  • Leave space between. Kids need breath, not burnout.

When your home flows, learning flows. Peace over pressure.

3. Let Your Child Lead Their Learning

You’re not a lecturer. You’re a guide. Your child’s curiosity is your best curriculum. They were born asking questions because they were meant to explore—not sit still and memorize.

🔥 Real Magic:

  • Ask: “What do you wanna learn about today?”
  • That bug on the windowsill? Boom. You’ve got a full day of science, art, writing, math, and spirit lessons right there.
  • Let them obsess. Turn obsessions into unit studies. Dinosaurs? Go full archeologist. Minecraft? Build a math-based survival map.

💫When kids lead, they love it. Lifelong learners are built—not forced.

4. Teach With Stories, Soul, And Movement

Dry facts don’t stick. But when you bring the lesson to life with story, feeling, and hands-on magic, it hits different.

📚 Soulful Moves:

  • Turn history into story theater—act it out, dress up, narrate it like a movie.
  • Use body movement for math. Count jumping jacks. Measure things around the house. Let them dance out the numbers.
  • Journal through emotions. Let them make up wild fantasy stories. Writing is writing, no matter the theme.

🎭 When learning hits the heart, it stays in the soul. No textbook can match that kind of imprint.

5. Include Spiritual Tools That Actually Ground And Inspire

This ain’t just a homeschool—it’s your sacred space. Bring in tools that align energy, support emotions, and help your child feel seen, calm, and safe.

🧿 Energy Alignment Moves:

  • Start with a simple ritual: light a candle, say an intention, or do 3 deep breaths together.
  • Keep calming crystals around: amethyst and fluorite for focus, blue lace agate for calm, clear quartz to amplify clarity and love.
  • Let them wear healing crystal jewelry—yes, even the wild ones. It helps regulate energy when they can’t put feelings into words.

💎 Crystals like tiger’s eye boost confidence and courage. Black tourmaline protects against chaotic energy. These aren’t “just rocks”—they’re powerful allies for sensitive, gifted little humans.

🧠 Homeschool Doesn’t Have To Break You

Let go of perfection. Let go of pressure. Let go of anybody else's “standards.” Homeschooling with heart means raising humans in alignment—not control.
You’re doing holy work, and your kids feel that. So even on the wild days, trust that this love-filled education is doing more than any standardized test ever could.

Your child isn’t behind.
You’re not failing.
And your homeschool IS enough—especially when it comes from love.

💫 Looking For Extra Support?If you feel like your homeschool flow could use a little spiritual backup, we’ve created gentle, heart-centered resources to help: 👉🏽 Books, Media & Homeschool Tools

And if you’re feeling personally drained or stuck—because parenting, teaching, and healing all at once can be a lot—you might also find peace and clarity through a Soul Therapy Session. It’s not homeschool-specific, but it’s helped a lot of mamas and papas like you reconnect to their center.

As always, take what helps. Leave what doesn’t.
You’ve got this.
And if you ever need us, we’re here.

In a world where creativity meets spirituality, the art of crafting healing jewelry stands is filled with imagination and wellness. As a shamanic guide, homeschool mom, and advocate for holistic living, I'm here to guide you through teaching kids how to create their own pieces of healing jewelry. This activity is not just about crafting; it’s about instilling values of patience, mindfulness, and the healing properties of natural elements.

The Joy of Jewelry Making with Kids: Creative Healing 

Jewelry making is a delightful way for children to express their creativity while learning about the healing properties of different stones and crystals. It's an opportunity to bond, share stories about each stone’s significance, and nurture a deeper connection with the earth's gifts.

Choosing the Right Stones and Crystals for Healing 

Begin by selecting stones and crystals with known healing properties. Amethyst for calmness, rose quartz for love, and turquoise for protection are great starts. Explain their meanings to the kids and let them feel and choose the ones they resonate with.

Simple Techniques for Little Hands: Easy Jewelry Making Methods 

Opt for simple techniques suited for children. Elastic cord bracelets, beaded necklaces, and simple wire wrapping are great starting points. Ensure that the tools and materials are kid-friendly and safe.

Incorporating Healing Intentions In Each Piece 

As you craft, discuss the importance of intentions. Encourage kids to think about what they want the jewelry to represent – perhaps a charm for courage at school or a peaceful amulet for bedtime.

Safety First: Kid-Friendly Crafting 

Safety is paramount. Use non-toxic materials and age-appropriate tools. Supervise closely, especially when working with small beads or tools.

Making It Fun and Educational By Combining Learning with Play 

Turn jewelry making into a fun learning experience. Introduce basic color theory, discuss the geological formation of crystals, or incorporate stories and traditional meanings related to the stones.

Conclusion: Teaching kids to create healing jewelry is an enriching experience that combines art, spirituality, and education. It's a journey that not only results in beautiful pieces of jewelry but also imparts lessons of healing, creativity, and connection to nature.

Start this magical journey today! Gather your materials, sit down with the little ones, and embark on a creative adventure that crafts more than just jewelry – it crafts lasting memories and valuable life lessons.

Disclaimer: The healing properties of crystals and stones are for informational purposes only. Your results may vary. Always prioritize safety and supervision in crafting activities with children.

Free Homeschool Lessons: Neighborhood Knowledge

Does your child know his neighborhood well? Not just the street you live on, but knowledge of the entire neighborhood is important. If your child ever gets lost, he should know how to get home. Neighborhood knowledge is essential for kids of all ages, but is usually taught in Kindergarten. Use this free homeschool lesson to teach your child all about his neighborhood.

Teach your child his address. This and the phone number are extremely important for your child to know. Not only is it the first step in learning about the neighborhood, but it will also be helpful if your child ever gets lost. I like to use songs to teach the kids their address. Make up a catchy tune that goes along well with the sound of your home address. Sing it to your child and have him sing along too. Also have your child practice writing down the address on paper.

Take walks often. This is a simple, but useful way of teaching your child about the neighborhood. Getting around by foot and by car are two different things. Your child can become more familiar with the area, including parts that can only be seen by walking. This provides a good visual for map-making and studying. Don't forget to collect things from nature on the walk that you can use in other school projects.

Show them where the police and fire stations are located. Your child needs to learn where these important destinations are located. Even if your child is young, there may be a time when he needs the information. A child may get lost, kidnapped, or have another emergency. Knowing where these are located can help him in many situations.

Make a simple map. Draw a simple map of your neighborhood, making sure to include your house, anything surrounding it, and any landmarks, such as a fire station, library, museum, and stores. Have your child study the map. You can point out certain things as well as have him point out certain things to you. Talk about how to get to each place and have him tell you directions as well. Let the child make his own map after the above activities.

Use home, stores, and trusted neighbors as safe havens. Talk to your child about strangers and where they can go if they are in danger. Young children should always be with an adult. But emergencies can happen and they need to know what to do. Talk to your child about specific scenarios and locations and give them a breakdown about which places are safe to go in each situation. For instance, while the home is generally a safe haven, if there's an emergency and you are injured or cannot help, there should be a trusted nearby neighbor, store, or police station the child can go to.

How to Teach Kids Sight or Spelling Words Faster and More Accurately

How to Teach Kids Sight or Spelling Words Faster and More Accurately
Are you looking for a simpler and faster way to teach your kids their sight words or spelling words? Kids can get discouraged easily when progress isn't made quickly. My method for teaching kids spelling and sight words fast comes in several steps.

As a homeschool  and traditional school mom, I've developed many learning methods and lesson plans. I always play an active role in teaching my kids, regardless of their schooling method. When it comes to fully grasping new words, kids need to make the connection in several ways. If they only make the connection to the word in one or two ways, it will be harder for them to learn current and future words.

Here are the steps I've developed to teach kids sight words and spelling words fast.

Step One: Make flashcards of all the words together. Write each word on its own index card in dark lettering. The child can help with this by looking at the words and copying what they see onto the index cards. This helps practice the visual connection, as well as the writing connection.

Step Two: Show one flashcard to the child, clearly pronouncing the word.This triggers an audio-visual connection to the word. Be sure the child is looking at the word as well as listening.

Step Three:
Have the child repeat back that same word. This will tell you if the child is listening to you. It also helps with the speech connection. A child needs to be able to say a word properly before truly understanding the way the word should be formed.

Step Four: Have the child write the word. Just seeing, hearing, and saying the word is not enough. A child also needs to know how to write it. This will help with spelling tests and reading & writing in general. Writing it also triggers the memorization of it.

Step Five: Have the child read the word back to you, sounding it out. If the child is reading it back without sounding out the word, it may just be that they are saying it because you just said the word. Take the time to have the child say each sound in the word so that they know how the word is formed.

Step Six: Repeat steps two - five with each word. This same process should be followed with each word, including the easier words. Going through this process helps to give the child a good understanding of how words work, which will help with reading and writing current and future spelling and sight words.

Practice these steps until the child can read and write each word quickly.

*I've successfully used this method with more than one child. Let us know in the comments how it worked for you and any tips you may have as well.
