One day, I realized that as a homeschooler, I was living in a state of overwhelm, exhaustion, doubt... and general stress.  I was busy all the time, but never quite sure what we had accomplished.  I wasn't ever really satisfied that I was doing "enough," or doing it "right."  My insecurity meant that I was constantly looking for new, bright and shiny "solutions."  And, what's worse, no matter how many new things I tried, I ended up overwhelmed, exhausted, and doubtful all over again. 

Oftentimes, even more so than I had been in the beginning.

I knew that this way of homeschooling was not sustainable, much less the enjoyable experience I had envisioned.  Something had to change. 

What if I could be really clear and confident in our homeschool?  What if I could make homeschooling simple and straight-forward?  What if we could have free time, and enjoy simple pleasures?  What if it wasn't about the stuff, but instead, it was about the system, the process, and the mindset?

And so Minimalist Homeschooling was born.  The book "Minimalist Homeschooling" was published in 2017, and since then, thousands of homeschoolers have learned the way to simplify while adding focus and value to their homeschools via the one-of-a-kind Simple is the New Smart Membership, the book, and my speaking engagements throughout the United States.

I'd love to connect, and I can't wait to see you inside Simple is the New Smart!
