If you’re a struggling homeschool mom, this is for you. Did your last homeschool year end on a satisfied or an unpleasant note?
Or if you just closed the door on your homeschool space, trying to put the frustrations behind you, and shifted instead to planning next year, I get you.
I know I did that for more than a few years.
This is my story as a struggling homeschool mom…
I was optimistic as I drove to Target (or Walmart) for my first day of homeschool supplies. Purchasing a new box of smelly markers, pencils, and notebooks and expected they would put me in a positive, optimistic space.
And they did!
I’d come home to scour homeschool resource websites or Facebook groups to find the next perfect resource, science experiment box, book, curriculum, or you-fill-in-the-blank.
This year will be different, I’d declare! The summer break didn’t just get me vitamin D. It got me enthusiasm too.
A little bit of sun and a break from routine is always good, then add new resources, a fresh box of pencil crayons (even though I already owned 6,564), and we were rip-roaring ready to go.
I love that September energy every year.
You too?
But I’ve learned that September lasts, well, for September, and then challenges arise by October, and the enthusiasm tends to wane by November. What all the summer fun and planning enthusiasm don’t circumvent is the frustrations we had last year.
My previous year’s frustrations weren’t magically transformed by a box of Smarties, a new pencil case, and a few new readalouds (although that definitely did work for the first day;)
Give it enough time and I felt like we were in a scene from Groundhog Day (even though it wasn’t February, it was November).
Back to being a struggling homeschool mom…
So if you relate and you don’t want to repeat last year: feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or uncertain about various elements of your homeschool journey, you’re not alone!

Renee is a homeschool mama of 4 who experienced that as she worked with me:
“The time with Teresa was super helpful. Teresa helped me see the roots behind the surface-level issues. It was the impetus to help me think more deeply about my homeschool and relational ‘whys’ to get to a place to see where change needed to be made. Teresa’s kindness and compassion gave me a safe place to speak my heart and her responses helped me feel empowered for this next chapter in our homeschool journey and the evolving chapter of the relationships with our teen and young adult children. Now I have infinitely better boundaries with our teenage daughter and I no longer feel like our relationship hangs by a thin thread. I feel much more motivated in my homeschool days and have made some major shifts that have restored the joy in our homeschool. Also, I’m also learning to lean into the new season with older children and embrace the joy found in the present, rather than pining for the past.”
