Hi! I’m Sheri!

My homeschooling experience is a story of God’s faithfulness. As a former public school teacher, I never imagined I would someday be a homeschool mom to ten kids! Over time, however, I have discovered that I love the tranquil, simple rhythms of home life. Watching our children grow brings me and my husband profound joy. Though homeschooling can be very challenging at times, I’m incredibly thankful that I get to do this every day!

Homeschool Mom Interviews

I like to share “our life” collectively as homeschoolers by interviewing everyday homeschool moms. Be encouraged by reading the stories of other homeschool moms just like you!

Introducing my new EBook

Rest

For the Weary Homeschool Mom

As homeschool moms, the work we do every day teaching our children, managing our homes, and caring for our families can be heavy. Sometimes, we just need a chance to catch our breath! I wrote this book to inspire weary homeschool moms. It is chock full of ideas, encouragement, Scripture, and quotes that will refresh your spirit.

Life Skills

Teach life skills in your home by showing your children how to cultivate a garden, wash laundry, prepare a meal, manage personal finances, preserve food nurtured by their own hands, and more!

Seasonal Copywork

Copy the best pieces from great authors! Copywork is simply the habit of hand-copying selections of text from great authors. Think about it. How do we learn to do anything? We observe someone who is doing it! Copywork challenges kids to copy the written work of exceptional communicators.

Morning Time

Morning Time is the time of day when we can all study the subjects that are best learned in a group. Start your day by reflecting on truth, goodness, and beauty!
