Joyful Homeschooling
A Mama’s Guide to a Joyful, Life-giving Homeschool
Your personal guide to create a joyful homeschool environmentthat equips your family to delight in learning together!
Homeschooling has the potential to bring deep joy, connection, richness, and peace to our homes and families. But it can also bring a lot of fear and doubt to us as moms as we worry if we are doing enough, doing it "right" or failing our kids in some way. I've been there and am so thankful for how the Lord has led me into His joy and peace and set us on a joyful and fun path of learning in our home.
In this resource, I'm excited to help you:
- Break free from those fears and doubts
- Hear the Lord and His guidance for your kids and homeschool
- Chart a course for joyful learning your home
- Help you and your kids fall in love with learning and growing in wisdom together
- Exchange any heavy yoke you're carrying (or have placed on your children) for God's light and easy one. That all of you would experience rest for your souls.
Here's the thing: learning doesn’t have to be stressful.Homeschooling doesn’t have to be overwhelming. You don’t have to live with the fear that you’re not doing enough.
God's yoke isn't heavy - it's light - for you and your children. His ways lead to peace, joy, and rest for our souls. And this includes learning!Children are natural learners, they are born curious and they will grow in wisdom, knowledge, and skills in a nourishing environment free from pressure.
There is a life-giving path of learning for your family that will help all of you grow in wisdom, fall more in love with God, grow in friendship with each other, become more of the people He created you to be, and walk in the abundant life He came to give.
I’m excited to help guide you on this journey!

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do you offer refunds?
Yes, feel free to try Joyful Homeschooling risk free for 30 days! If you're not satisfied for any reason, you can email kierra@joyfulparenthood.org and we'll be happy to give you a refund!
2. Do you promote a certain philosophy of education or curriculum?
No, although I do share our favorites! Instead, I share lots of options that could be a good fit for your family and how to pray through those.
We have mostly followed a Charlotte Mason philosophy of education in our home, but we’ve made it our own and mixed in other things as well. In the last year, He's led us to a more unschooling approach and that has been beautiful and fruitful as well. Ultimately, we’ve let the Lord guide our steps in each season and piece together what we do in a peaceful, life-giving way!
Throughout this resource, I share what we’ve done over the years, the resources that we’ve loved, our peaceful rhythms, and our approach to learning. But ultimately, I share how I’ve learned to let the Lord lead and to trust His guidance and I empower you to do the same. I give you ideas that we’ve found life-giving, empower you to hear the Lord’s guidance for YOUR family, and help you chart a path that will be joyful for YOU!
3.. Can I download the audios to my phone to listen to offline?
Yes! Knowing firsthand how busy mom life can be, I purposely made these as audios that you can download to your phone and listen to offline as you go on a walk, run errands, cook, fold laundry, etc.
