Our Mission
Helping homeschool families thrive in life and learning.

When Life Throws You a Curveball, Make It a Learning Opportunity
29 years of marriage, two incredible kids adopted at birth, and one fluffy 6lb Havanese named Mocha. That’s us in a nutshell. Oh, and we’re those “crazy” people who decided to homeschool before we even tied the knot. Yep, you read that right!
We dreamed of giving our kids an education as unique as they are. Little did we know, life had some surprises in store. Dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, ADHD, anxiety – our family’s got the whole alphabet soup of learning challenges. But you know what? It’s made our journey all the more meaningful.
From Overwhelmed to Overjoyed (Most Days, Anyway!)
Let’s be real: parenting and homeschooling are both wonderful and really, really hard. We’ve had days where we felt like superstars and days where we wondered if we were cut out for this at all. Sound familiar?
We quickly realized that the traditional parenting playbook wasn’t going to cut it. So, we became research junkies, devouring every book, course, and workshop we could find. We worked with mental health professionals, collaborated with education experts, and slowly but surely, we started to see progress.
Turning Our Struggles into Your Stepping Stones
It’s tough to wade through all the information out there, especially when you’re already stretched thin.
Traditional education and parenting practices often fall short, especially for high-needs kids.
That’s when the lightbulb moment hit.
What if we could create a space where parents like us could find support, guidance, and a whole lot of “me too!” moments?

Why We’re Here (And Why It Matters)
When traditional parenting strategies fell flat with our kids’ ADHD and dyslexia, we felt lost and overwhelmed—just like you might be feeling right now.
That’s why our mission is to inspire parents to raise confident, emotionally healthy children, empower them to create personalized learning experiences, and transform their relationships with their kids into meaningful, lifelong connections.
We’re building the resource we wished we’d had: a place where parents can find clarity, confidence, and a community that truly gets it.
Welcome to Homeschool Essentials: Where Real-life Homeschool Families Thrive
We bring together three essential aspects of your journey – parenting, education, and mental health – because we understand something powerful: When these three work together, your family finds its natural rhythm.
It’s in this sweet spot – where all three connect – that your homeschool journey truly flourishes.
Parenting Skills
Moving from control to connection (because let's face it, power struggles are exhausting).
Education Support
Creating learning environments that actually work for your unique kiddos.
Mental Health Awareness
Because a healthy mind is just as important as a well-educated one.
Flower Power: Our Essential Mindsets for Life & Learning
Our Flower Power Mindsets are our ‘secret sauce’—born from our own journey through family crisis and transformation.
Working with a mental health counselor, these eight mindsets became our anchors, showing us a different way forward than what we’d known growing up.
Today, they guide everything we do, helping families discover their own path to thriving in life and learning.
Real Experience, Real Results
We may not have a wall full of fancy degrees, but we’ve got a PhD in “figuring it out as we go.”
We’ve been honored to work with amazing organizations like Bright & Quirky and Big Life Journal, and we’ve helped hundreds of families find their homeschool groove.
But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what one parent had to say:
“Michelle is an engaging speaker and shares wisdom in such a gentle and encouraging way. Her professional, well-organized approach has taught me not only to connect more with my children & young adults, but also to embrace and celebrate how unique our family and homeschool truly is.”
