For the past 2 weeks, I’ve watched from afar her

For the past 2 weeks, I’ve watched from afar here in the northeast as the aftermath of two hurricanes played out in real people’s lives.

This feels like such a "loaves and fishes" offer, but here's how I hope to support homeschool families affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton:

Donate Proceeds: All digital AND sticker sale proceeds from my Etsy shop will be donated to HSLDA Disaster Relief Fund (Oct 15-30).

Donate Resources: If you are a homeschool family impacted by Hurricane Helene or Milton, the first 100 families who apply will receive up to $50 in digital resources from my Etsy shop (Oct 15-Dec 15).

Comment "FORM" and I'll DM you the link -or- visit the link in bio for a link to the form.

Do people need more important things than homeschool curriculum? Of course. But I offer this with faith and prayer that it will benefit those who need it.

Want to help?
SHARE this post with those who might benefit.
VISIT my Etsy shop to make a purchase. All proceeds from Oct 15-30 will be donated.

Prayers and blessings as you continue to lead your families forward in their learning.

I encourage you to take a small break at this time

I encourage you to take a small break at this time of year.

Homeschooling is a marathon, not a sprint. You need a breather to regroup!

Here are five ideas for how to use your mid-semester break (no need to do all 5 at once!).

Which one do you need to invest in right now?

Want some help? COMMENT with a word from the list above and I'll send you my best resource for that one! 🙂

If you think you can’t attend a writing conferen

If you think you can’t attend a writing conference or retreat because you have never published a book (or at all)… well, that’s exactly what I thought, and I went anyway. Since attending my first reNEW in 2018, I’ve been encouraged and supported in my writing journey, and God has blessed. Without reNEW, maybe I would not have found the courage, endurance, and connection I needed to move from wishful author to published author. Of course, God could’ve moved in other ways, but I’m so grateful His provision for my writing heart came through this community of like-minded believers and friends.

To those with writing dreams, I invite you to attend next year’s reNEW Writing spiritual retreat and learn how writing is a way to workshop God and serve others.

Find out more at renewwriting.com (early bird registration is through Oct 31).

Fall Bookstagram for Kids! For fun, I gathered up

Fall Bookstagram for Kids!
For fun, I gathered up all our well-loved children’s books with fall colored spines. It seems Red/Yellow/Orange are not preferred in publishing!

These books are random, since they were selected on the basis of fall colors, but they have at least one trait in common: they have consistently avoided “the purge” year after year in our home. Meaning they are lasting favorites!

This bookstack has tales from the ancient Greeks to great American favorites, from hobbits to horse stories, and everything in between!

Do you spy a favorite? Which one?
Are there any your kids haven’t read yet? Put it on your TBR (to be read) list bc these come tween/teen boy recommended! (Parent recommended too!)

As a classroom teacher, I loved decorating my room

As a classroom teacher, I loved decorating my room—part of welcoming students to learn is creating a hospitable atmosphere. So, I also love decorating my kitchen for the seasons bc it’s basically our classroom (yes, we end up here despite having a dedicated homeschool room! Hahaha). I’m pretty bad at spring and summer, but fall and winter? They are my favorite for decor. (Send help for the other 2 seasons! Lol)
