Our Homeschool Favorite Things

Learn More
A large farmhouse-style wooden table covered with an inviting homeschool spread: well-worn math and history books stacked beside a spiral notebook filled with handwritten notes, a colorful globe tilted toward North America, sharpened pencils in a mason jar, and a half-finished watercolor painting taped to a clipboard. Sunlight from a nearby window streams across the table, creating warm highlights on the wood grain and soft shadows behind each object. In the softly blurred background, built-in shelves overflow with board games and baskets of supplies. Photographic realism at eye level with a gentle, shallow depth of field creates a calm, lived-in, and welcoming atmosphere that feels like the heart of a homeschooling home.
An organized yet cozy homeschool planning corner featuring an open bullet journal on a natural pine desk, pages filled with neatly color-coded weekly lesson plans and doodled margin notes. Beside it, a laptop displays a simple digital planner, flanked by a steaming stoneware mug of tea and a small stack of highlighters and sticky notes. A corkboard on the wall is covered with a printed yearly calendar, a few children’s drawings, and pinned curriculum ideas. Soft morning light filters through a nearby window, casting diffused, gentle shadows and giving the scene a hopeful, reflective mood. Captured in photographic realism from a slightly elevated angle, with clean, modern composition and subtle background blur to emphasize focus and intention.

Who I am

A faith filled, wife, mom of twins and an educator of 14 years who turned classroom experience and theory into everyday adventures. I am also just a regular woman and mom who is sometimes a bit of a hot mess. Sometimes I am an A+ mom who is on point with all the things, bread making, herbal remedies, healthy foods, etc. and sometimes we eat junk, food dyes, and have snacks for dinner. I like to follow Jesus, but also like my romance books. This is a no judgement or hate zone, but my personal opinions lean towards a Christian Conservative view. This doesn’t mean I cannot find common ground with everyone as long as there is no hate and everything is done in love.

What We Do

A wide shot of a living-room-turned-learning-space, where low open shelving holds baskets labeled with subjects, a shelf-lined wall displays carefully arranged science kits, chapter books, and math manipulatives, and a sturdy coffee table is spread with nature journals and colored pencils. A large world map hangs above the shelves, slightly curled at the edges, with a string of small, warm fairy lights draped around it. Afternoon sunlight pours in through sheer curtains, creating a golden, cozy glow and soft, elongated shadows. The composition uses the rule of thirds and photographic realism, with sharp focus throughout to highlight both order and creativity. The mood is relaxed, flexible, and family-centered, perfectly capturing everyday homeschool life.

A nature-focused homeschool scene on a rustic picnic table outdoors, covered with open field guides to birds and trees, a pair of slightly scuffed binoculars, a small wooden magnifying glass, and a nature journal open to a page of careful leaf rubbings and sketched feathers. Scattered autumn leaves in varying shades of gold, russet, and deep red frame the materials. Soft, overcast daylight bathes the scene, creating even, diffused lighting with almost no harsh shadows, enhancing the textures of paper, wood, and leaves. Photographic realism at a slightly overhead angle with subtle background bokeh of blurred trees conveys a peaceful, exploratory mood that honors curiosity and slow, observational learning.
A shelf vignette highlighting favorite homeschool resources: a neat row of colorful, well-thumbed chapter books and encyclopedias, a small vintage-looking brass telescope on a wooden stand, a glass jar filled with smooth river stones labeled with sight words, and a framed minimalist print that reads “Learning Happens Here.” A woven basket overflowing with flashcards and laminated activity cards sits at one end of the shelf. Warm, late-afternoon light from a nearby window grazes the edges of the objects, producing gentle rim lighting and soft, horizontal shadows against a matte white wall. Photographic realism with a straight-on composition and moderate depth of field creates a calm, curated, and slightly nostalgic atmosphere that celebrates treasured tools and traditions.
A candid tabletop snapshot of a homeschool “favorite things” day: a patchwork of board games spread out across a honey-colored wooden table, a stack of well-loved read-aloud novels with creased spines, a tin of colored pencils spilled in a small cascade of bright color, and a handwritten list titled “Today’s Favorites” on lined notebook paper. A small, slightly chipped ceramic bowl holds math dice and letter tiles. Gentle midday window light creates soft, natural illumination and mild shadows, adding warmth to the wood and paper textures. Photographic realism from an overhead, flat-lay perspective provides sharp detail across the frame, conveying a cheerful, relaxed, family-centered mood that values play as learning.
A reflective homeschool record-keeping scene, featuring a thick three-ring binder open to a neatly organized portfolio page with printed photos of projects, charted progress, and thoughtful written reflections. Color-coded divider tabs peek out along the edge. Nearby, a small stack of standardized test prep booklets and a legal pad with pros-and-cons notes about curriculum choices hint at an educator’s analytical mindset. A simple black ink pen rests diagonally across the page. Soft desk-lamp lighting casts a warm pool of light on the binder, fading into darker shadows at the edges of the frame. Photographic realism from a slightly angled, close-up perspective creates an intimate, contemplative mood, reflecting the perspective of a seasoned educator turned homeschool parent.
