Free homeschool starter guide

Real homeschool. Real home. Real life.

Get You're Not Missing Anything, my homeschool starter guide. It's the short, honest one I wish somebody had handed me on day one. What to do first, what to skip, and how to stop feeling like you're already behind. Free, and I'll send it straight to your inbox.

No spam, just the good stuff.

Written by a mom still in the middle of it, not an expert looking back.

Hi, I'm Brooke. I homeschool two little girls in southern Utah, with a third on the way, and I'm legally blind, which mostly means I've had to figure out what actually matters and skip the rest. Turns out it's a lot less than the internet makes you think. No perfect schedule, no color-coded binder, just us at the kitchen table figuring it out most days.

What you'll find here

The real days

What homeschool actually looks like here, the good mornings and the ones where everybody cries a little.

What we actually use

The books, tools, and stuff that earned a spot in our house. If we quit using it, I'll tell you that too.

You can do this

No teaching degree, no fancy curriculum. I'll show you what we do and why, so you can start where you are.

It's just us, showing up most days and calling that enough.

The unit studies I actually teach from

These are the real, ready-to-run weeks I build for my own girls: a book plan, a hands-on build, an art project, and a food tie-in, all done for you so you just show up and teach. Try the Dinosaurs unit free first. If it feels like us, the rest are on Etsy.
