A collection of my real-life tools for smoother homeschool days, stronger focus, and a more peaceful home—without the overwhelm.
Because knowing your teen’s learning style is only half the battle.
You’ve discovered how your child learns—but if they’re still moody, angry, or checked out, it might be something deeper.
Lack of proper nutrients (especially in teens) can show up as brain fog, irritability, and low motivation. We experienced this first-hand—until we found First Day Teen Multivitamins.
They’re clean, gummy (yes, for teens!), and made a huge difference in our energy and connection at home.
While you're nourishing their body, don’t forget to feed their brain in the right way.
Finding a curriculum that fits your child’s learning style is key to a drama-free homeschool. These are ones I’ve used or trust for different types of learners:
These homeschoolers are all about what they see. They need visuals to help things “click.” If you hand them a page full of plain text, they might check out — but give them a chart, a color-coded worksheet, or a step-by-step video, and suddenly it all makes sense.
They think in pictures, not paragraphs. They often remember what the page looked like, not just what it said. And if they’re doodling during a lesson? Don’t stop them — those sketches are part of how they process and stay focused.
They’re the ones who:
Need to see examples to understand what you're explaining
Thrive with illustrations, charts, or maps
Organize their notes with highlighters or sticky tabs
Prefer whiteboards, visual schedules, and color-coded lesson plans
Remember faces and scenes better than spoken words
How they learn best:
Diagrams, mind maps, and graphic organizers
Step-by-step demonstration videos
Color-coded notes and planners
Timelines, maps, and illustrated resources
Visual storytelling (comics, picture books, or videos with strong visuals)
Heads up: If you're just talking at them or assigning text-heavy lessons, they'll zone out fast. They need that visual anchor to bring the learning to life.
These homeschool kiddos learn best through sound. If you’ve ever explained something out loud and watched it click for your child — that’s an auditory learner at work. They remember what they hear more than what they read or see, and they often talk to themselves or ask questions just to process the info.
They’re the ones who:
Prefer you read the directions out loud instead of handing them the paper
Learn spelling words faster when they’re chanted, sung, or repeated
Like to discuss things before doing them
Might read aloud just to understand better
Often hum, talk, or make sound effects while working
How they learn best:
Listening to read-alouds, audiobooks, or verbal explanations
Talking through problems or ideas with a parent or sibling
Songs, chants, rhymes, and memory tricks
Repeating info out loud to themselves
Recordings of lessons they can re-listen to anytime
Heads up: They may struggle with silent reading or heavy text-based lessons if there’s no voice attached. For them, sound equals sense. Add in conversation or audio support, and their learning can truly take off.
These are your text-loving homeschoolers. They feel most confident when they can read it, write it, highlight it, and organize it in a way that makes sense to them. Give them a workbook, a journal, or a stack of books, and they’re in their element. This learner processes information through the written word — both reading it and writing it.
They’re the kids who:
Take notes during read-alouds or write summaries just for fun
Enjoy journaling, list-making, or writing their own stories
Remember things best when they physically write them down
Ask for instructions they can read, not just hear
Love planners, checklists, and seeing their thoughts on paper
How they learn best:
Reading books, guides, and step-by-step written directions
Copywork, journaling, or rewriting lessons in their own words
Worksheets, charts, and printable resources
Taking notes or writing out what they’ve learned
Using captions or transcripts to follow along with videos
Heads up: If lessons are only taught through video or verbal instruction, they may struggle to retain the info. They need written structure to fully grasp and remember what they’re learning.
These kids focused and learn best through connection. They thrive when they can interact, discuss, and bounce ideas off others. If they seem chatty during lessons or constantly ask “why?”—it’s not defiance. It’s how they process information.
They don’t just want to know the answer; they want to talk it through and understand it deeply by engaging with someone. Learning, for them, is a team effort—not a solo sport.
They’re the kid who:
Constantly ask questions — not to be disruptive, but to fully understand
Light up during group discussions, storytelling, or read-alouds
Learn best when they explain things to someone else (like a younger sibling or parent)
Prefer back-and-forth interaction over silent reading or long worksheets
Do great with mentorship, coaching, or being part of a homeschool pod
How they learn best:
Group projects, co-ops, and hands-on activities with others
Discussing new topics out loud with a parent or sibling
Teaching what they just learned to reinforce understanding
Role-playing historical events or acting out stories
Zoom classes, learning buddies, or homeschool meetups
Heads up: Too much solo work or isolation can feel draining. They may struggle with independent study unless there’s room for dialogue or connection.
Lets Chat! I can help you create a CO op in your church if you don't have one around, that will give your child the group learning he needs for success.
These homeschool kiddos are always in motion — minds racing, hands moving, energy flowing. They do not do well sitting still for long lessons or staring at a page for hours. But give them a way to learn while moving, talking, or doing something else? That’s where they shine.
Busy Bees are often a blend of auditory and kinesthetic learning styles. They need to hear it, move through it, and apply it fast. Whether they’re bouncing on a yoga ball, walking laps while listening to a lesson, or helping with chores while you explain a concept — they’re still learning. It just doesn’t look traditional.
They’re the kids who:
Ask if they can “do something” while you read aloud
Retain more from audio stories, songs, or discussions
Learn better while moving their body or fidgeting
Thrive with quick, practical lessons over long, drawn-out ones
Do great when learning is sprinkled into daily routines
How they learn best:
Audio lessons, read-alouds, or music-based content
Short videos that get straight to the point
Hands-on projects or movement-based activities
Checklists or simple routines that guide their learning
Flexible tasks they can complete while staying active
Heads up: Long lectures, thick workbooks, or “sit still and listen” days will wear them out fast. Keep it flexible, interactive, and on the move, and you’ll unlock their learning superpower.
These homeschoolers need to do the thing to really learn it. They don’t just want to hear about a concept — they want to build it, move it, touch it, act it out. If it’s all talk and no action, you’ve lost them.
BUT — video lessons can actually bridge the gap for them. When you pair a visual demo with a hands-on task? Magic. Think: watching how to build a volcano, braid a rope, plant a garden, or act out a historical event — then doing it themselves right after. That’s their launch pad.
They’re the kids who:
Learn best by touching, building, and experimenting
Can’t sit still through long lectures or book-heavy lessons
Love role-playing, real-world tasks, or working with their hands
Retain info better when it’s connected to movement or experience
Get restless when learning feels too abstract or “talky”
How they learn best:
Hands-on activities and real-life experiments
Demonstration videos followed by "you try it" time
Acting out stories, playing games, or doing crafts
Movement-friendly lessons (think: hop to math facts or build spelling words with blocks)
Field trips, nature walks, and life skills work
Heads up: Sitting quietly with a worksheet? Not their vibe. But if you give them something to do, they’ll remember it for life.

The Parent Shelf
Parenting is beautiful—but let’s be real, it’s also hard. I’ve walked through tantrums, teen talks, late-night worries, and everything in between. Over the years, I’ve read a ton of books to help me navigate each season (well, every stage except adulthood 😅). This shelf is filled with the ones that truly made a difference—the books I come back to, recommend constantly, and wish I had sooner.
Whether you're in the thick of toddlerhood or navigating big emotions with your big kids, this collection is here to support you like a wise friend and a warm cup of coffee.
Parenting littles is exhausting... until you discover Love and Logic.
This book takes the stress out of potty training, tantrums, whining, bedtime battles, and those chaotic mornings.
With tools from parenting pros Jim and Charles Fay, you’ll raise responsible, confident kids—and actually enjoy the process.
It’s the parenting reset you didn’t know you needed.
This parenting book is your go-to guide for raising self-confident, motivated kids who are ready to take on the real world.
It doesn’t just teach you how to parent—it shows you how to guide your children with love and firm boundaries, while helping them take ownership of their actions. You’ll learn how to discipline without yelling, set clear expectations, and raise kids with strong character, personal responsibility, and emotional resilience.
If you’re ready to parent with purpose and raise future adults you’re proud of—this book is a must.
Hands down, one of the most impactful resources I used while raising my tween into their teen years.
It spoke to exactly what I was walking through—those shifting moods, tough conversations, and all the unknowns that come with the teen transition. I started with the audiobook, but it was so good, I had to get the physical copy too. I needed to highlight the gold, dog-ear the pages, and keep it close for those “what do I even say right now?” moments.
It became my go-to manual for parenting with more confidence and connection—and honestly, it changed the game.

Spelling You See – Level A: Listen and Write
Perfect for early learners still figuring out their letter sounds, pencil grip, and how to write lowercase letters. This program skips the whole "test on Friday" vibe and instead builds spelling skills through short, 10-minute daily lessons that repeat the right way—by reading, writing, listening, and even speaking.
Think: no pressure, no memorization—just natural learning that sticks.
This level is ideal for visual + kinesthetic learners because it leans into patterns, repetition, and hands-on writing practice. Kids trace letters, fill in letter boxes (to help them connect sounds to symbols), and use stickers as a fun reward. Every page has structure and purpose without being overwhelming.
You’ll get:
A consumable student workbook (with a sticker sheet and handwriting chart)
An instructor’s guide that breaks down each lesson, gives dictation prompts, and supports you with simple, clear directions.
If your child needs spelling to feel less like a test and more like a confidence-building rhythm, this is it.
Spelling You See Level B: Jack & Jill
This program takes a gentle, visual approach to spelling—perfect for kids who are ready to move beyond basic phonics. Instead of memorizing word lists, your child builds spelling skills naturally through daily copywork, reading aloud, and writing.
Level B is ideal for developing readers who:
Print well using lowercase letters
Know most letter sounds (short + long vowels)
Are transitioning from sounding out words to spelling with confidence
It’s part of a research-based curriculum designed to follow your child’s developmental stage, not grade level—so they can learn at their own pace without the pressure of weekly tests.
Spelling You See – Level C: Wild Tales
Keep your learner moving forward with spelling—without the stress!
Wild Tales (Level C) is designed for kids continuing in the Skill Development stage, helping them build confidence through copywork, reading aloud, and daily dictation.
This level is ideal for students who:
Can print lowercase letters smoothly
Know most letter sounds (short + long vowels)
Are ready for more consistent spelling practice—without weekly word lists or tests
The Instructor’s Handbook includes:
✔️ A simple overview of the method
✔️ Step-by-step lesson support
✔️ Dictation passages + an answer key
