It's the end of July, and August is knocking at our door.

How frustrating is it to do a puzzle without all the pieces?

Dear Friend,

Are you staring at your homeschool plans and feeling like you're trying to complete a jigsaw puzzle with half the pieces missing?

If you're new to homeschooling or are just starting out the year, you might be experiencing that nagging feeling that you're forgetting something crucial. Maybe you're wondering:

- Am I covering all the subjects I should be?

- How do I know if my child is learning enough?

- What if I'm not cut out for this?

First, I encourage you to take a deep breath. These doubts are completely normal, and I'm here to tell you that you've got this!

Remember, homeschooling isn't about recreating a traditional classroom in your living room. It's about crafting an education that fits your unique child and family.

Here are three quick tips to help you feel more confident:

1. Focus on the basics: Reading, writing, and math are your foundation. Everything else can be built on top of these.

2. Follow your child's interests: Use their natural curiosity as a springboard for learning. It's amazing how much geography, history, and science can be covered when exploring a topic they love!

3. Give yourself grace: You're both learning in this process. It's okay if everything isn't perfect from day one.

If you're ready to dive deeper and really set yourself up for success, my Homeschool Crash Course is designed to give you the tools, confidence, and knowledge to create a thriving homeschool environment. It's a self-paced course for you, the parent, to help answer all your questions about getting started with homeschooling.

But I'm not stopping there...

Because I want to see you succeed and I know you have tons of questions here at the beginning of the school year, I'm offering a special upgrade option of LIVE coaching support. These will be Zoom calls where you and other moms can ask me questions, I'll help you brainstorm solutions specific to you & your child, and we can learn from each other's journeys as we go! Coaching Calls are currently only offered in conjunction with Homeschool Crash Course, so click here to get in on this special pricing today.

Remember, you don't have to figure this all out alone. I'm here to help you turn those missing puzzle pieces into a beautiful, complete picture of your homeschool journey.

Because our kids deserve better,

Amy
