You’re not doing it wrong — it really is a lot to juggle. But there’s a gentler way.
You wake up in the morning, exhausted before one foot even hits the floor.
You struggle to find motivation to begin the school day, choosing instead to pour another cup of coffee, telling yourself you’ll start on time tomorrow.
You spend your days attempting to fit it all in: math and reading lessons, cooking and cleaning, soccer practice and piano lessons. All while hunting down the toddler and missing Sharpie, praying that you won’t find them together.
You lie awake at night and wonder how you can ever be good enough when you are exhausted and frustrated all day. You think maybe you should just give up.

I understand how you feel because I’ve been there too. Homeschooling your children is hard work. But it doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
I believe that you can find peace in your homeschool day with faith-filled rhythms, real-life learning, and family-centered connection.
Imagine...
Waking up refreshed and motivated to begin your homeschool day.
Enjoying a homeschool day, though far from perfect, that you and your kids spend laughing and learning together.
Realizing you are good enough, even if the laundry doesn’t get folded and there are dishes in the sink.
Feeling confident that you absolutely are the very best teacher for your children.
Hi there!
I'm Christy.
When we started homeschooling, I envisioned peaceful days watching my children work quietly as I tended to household duties.
But very quickly, the weight of juggling separate lessons, managing a new baby then toddler, prepping activities, and holding it all together started to wear me down. I felt behind all the time — and the joy I’d hoped for was buried under pressure and guilt.
Sound familiar?
You're not alone.
And you're not doing anything wrong.
What I needed — and what I finally discovered — was a gentler, more unified approach:
Family-style homeschooling anchored in rhythm over routine, connection over curriculum, and grace over perfection.
Now, I create resources, nature-based studies, and a course called Learning Gently, Living Fully to help moms like you:
Teach all your kids together (without running yourself ragged)
Build peaceful, faith-rooted rhythms that actually work
Simplify your days without sacrificing meaning or beauty
Enjoy homeschooling again — even in the messy, ordinary moments
Whether you’re brand new or deep in the trenches, you’ll find encouragement, printables, and tools here to support your real life — not just your ideal one.
A Note on Faith
I’m a devout Catholic, and while much of my content is family-style and accessible to all Christian homeschoolers, I also weave in resources for liturgical living and faith-centered homeschooling for those who desire it.
This is a space where you can grow in both your calling and your confidence — one gentle step at a time.
When you become a member of the Homeschooling in Progress community, you'll learn how to build a homeschool that’s gentle, joyful, and truly rooted in the life you want to live with your family.
