The Living Education Library

Nearly thirty years of teaching, gathered by topic — for the mother who wants an excellent education without the exhaustion.

I homeschooled all four of my children, and every one of them was accepted to the University of Georgia on scholarships that covered 90 to 100 percent of tuition. These are the articles I've written along the way, from the early years through college.

Wherever you are on the journey, start with the topic you need today. Everything here is drawn from real years at my own kitchen table.

First Things First

Before curriculum, before schedules, before anything you buy: this is the heart of it. Your child, your calling, and how to choose a way of learning that fits your family. Read this first to set a firm foundation for your homeschool.

Your Child is Unique. Their Education Should Be As Well

Getting Started

New to all this, or starting fresh? Begin here. These are the articles I would hand a friend who just decided to homeschool: why it works, how to choose curriculum without drowning in it, and how to build a peaceful, self-motivated day that doesn't turn your home into a school.

Charlotte Mason

Charlotte Mason isn't a method you tack on; it's a way of seeing your child as a whole person, full of possibility. These pieces explain the ideas that shaped everything I've written: living books, short lessons, and an atmosphere of grace.

Narration & Notebooking

Narration and notebooking are the two simplest, most powerful tools in a living education. They turn reading into knowing, and knowing into beautiful, lasting work. Start here to see why I built whole journals around them.

Writing, Copywork & Spelling

Good writing and effortless spelling don't come from worksheets. They come from copying beautiful language and having something worth saying. Here's how I taught four children to write well, and to spell almost by accident.

Nature Study

Nature study is where science begins and wonder never ends. These articles show how to get outside with purpose, keep a nature journal your children actually love, and see the Creator in what He has made.

Art, Poetry & Creativity

A generous education feeds the imagination as carefully as the intellect. Picture study, poetry, and creative freedom aren't extras; they are how a child learns to see, and to love what is lovely.

Habits & Character

The habits we build in the early years do more for our children than any curriculum ever will. These pieces walk through attention, truthfulness, excellence, and the quiet art of letting God shape a heart.

The Mother's Heart

Homeschooling is discipleship, and you cannot pour from an empty cup. These are the honest, faith-filled words I've written for the weary mother: about drawing near to God, choosing the better part, and trusting Him with the children He gave you.

College Prep

Everything you need to take a homeschooled child from eighth grade to move-in day. All four of my children were accepted to the University of Georgia on scholarships that covered 90 to 100 percent of tuition, earned through their SAT scores and homeschool transcripts. What follows is the exact path we walked.

Want it as a workbook your student can fill in?

My book My College Road Map is the consumable college-planning workbook that walks your middle- or high-schooler through every step here — a personality quiz that points toward majors and careers, record-keeping pages, application checklists, and campus-visit and essay worksheets. It's written to the student, so they take ownership of the journey.

“I am thrilled to have a book I can hand to my teen so he can take ownership of his high school plans. Just what I needed as his coach and guide.”

Science

Science should light a fire, not put one out. Here's why I teach one subject deeply instead of skimming everything, when to begin, and how to raise children who love God's creation and can give a reason for their faith in it.

Also Worth Reading

A few more worth your time that don't fit a tidy box: the case for teaching your children to speak, the truth about memorizing math facts, and what it really means to think with a biblical worldview.
