I want.

I want to learn to paint a sunset.

I want to sing and dance and jump, not trudge in this occupied body, out of breath and aching.

I want to create and play and grow. I want to take pictures that make me go wow, to write poetry that breaks ppl’s hearts and mends them again, to finish books that ppl read and love and share and give.

I want to be all the things I dreamed of being when I was 21 and have the energy and courage I had then to actually achieve something with my life.

I want to fit all this around raising my children.

I want a magic wand.

    Can I borrow the wand when you’re done?

    I know this probably won’t help but just wanted to say that you *are* achieving a lot. Every meal in a child’s tummy, cuddle at bedtime – they are achievements. I do know what you mean about dreams though. I can remember times when mine were little when I just wailed with exhaustion and frustration. Anyway, get someone to make you tea, rub your feet and tell you how excellent you are!

How I Can Help

After 20+ years of home educating my four children (two now adults), I’ve gathered a wealth of experience that I’m passionate about sharing. Beyond blogging and guest writing, I offer several services designed to support families on their home education journey.

Resources to Support Your Home Ed Journey

I’ve put together a collection of resources that I’ve genuinely found useful over the years—things that have actually made a difference in our home education. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to freshen things up, there’s something here to help. These are the tools, guides, and materials I’d recommend to a friend, because they work.
