Feeling Overwhelmed? This Will Help Calm Your Homeschool Day

Published 4 days ago • 2 min read

Hi Reader!

If your homeschool days have been feeling a little chaotic lately… you’re not alone. This season gets busy, schedules get tight, and routines start slipping — fast.

That’s why I created this week’s video called “Chaos to Calm” Because every homeschool family deserves a reset button.

👉 Watch the video here: [Chaos to Calm – 10-Minute Reset for Your Homeschool Day]

In the video, we walk you through a simple framework that instantly brings things back under control:

The 3 steps we use in our own homeschool:

  1. Identify your ONE non-negotiable subject This reduces overwhelm immediately and helps you feel successful every single day.
  2. Create a short, predictable routine. Kids thrive with structure — even 10 minutes of predictability makes the whole day smoother.
  3. Add the “calm first” rule We start our homeschool day with connection, quiet, or movement… because calm kids learn better.

Get back to the basics with our Simplify Your Homeschool Toolkit!

​

These steps work for every family — whether you’re brand new to homeschooling or deep into a busy year.

✨ Want a free printable?

If you’d like, we can send a simple “Chaos to Calm Daily Reset” checklist to use in your homeschool this week.

✨ Just reply to this email and say “Reset Checklist” and we’ll send it to you.

Homeschooling doesn’t have to feel chaotic. You deserve a day that feels calm, connected, and doable — even when life gets full.

Hi Reader! Have you noticed that there aren't a lot of activities or decorations related to Thanksgiving? You can find them if you really look, but it seems like Thanksgiving is a holiday that most people like to skip over as they hurry right into the Christmas season. This is a very unfortunate thing.
