Legacy of Learning™
where education becomes a way of life—and family culture becomes the curriculum
Homeschooling doesn’t fall apart because parents aren’t capable.
It fractures when thoughtful, devoted families are handed systems built on pressure, comparison, and fear—and told that’s what “doing it right” looks like.
Legacy of Learning™ exists to change that story.
This work isn’t about recreating school at home.
It’s about leading a home where learning is woven into everyday life—through curiosity, connection, rhythm, and long-range vision.
Because what you’re really building isn’t a schedule.
It’s a family culture.
"What you make a child love and desire is more important than what you make him learn." ~ Jim Trelease
The Quiet Crisis Most Homeschool Families Don’t Name
Many parents begin homeschooling with hope—and slowly slide into survival.
They find themselves:
Second-guessing every decision
Carrying invisible pressure to “do enough”
Juggling multiple ages while feeling behind
Wondering how today connects to high school, college, or adulthood
Trying to protect joy while still pursuing excellence
The problem isn’t effort.
The problem is leadership without a framework.
Legacy of Learning™ empowers families to trade performance pressure for grounded confidence—by leading their homeschool first, and plan second.
What Legacy of Learning™ Is (and Isn’t)
Legacy of Learning™ is a leadership-first approach to home education.
It equips parents to:
Lead with confidence instead of comparison
Teach children how to learn—not just what to learn
Build rhythms that fit real life
Create meaningful memories alongside measurable outcomes
Think long-range without fear
"You don't need perfect days to build a beautiful legacy — just presence, play, and a plan that fits your family."
This is not:
A curriculum or a boxed method
A one-size-fits-all system
A checklist to earn approval
This is:
A way of seeing learning differently
A posture of leadership rooted in relationship
A family learning culture that outlives curriculum
The Shift: From Survival Schooling to Joy-Led Learning
Legacy of Learning™ guides families through a clear transformation:
From reacting day-to-day → To leading with vision
From borrowed systems → To a learning identity that fits your family
From fear-based rigor → To wonder-driven depth
From burnout and busyness → To rhythm, relationship, and momentum
From segmented days—where learning lived "over here" and life happened "over there" → To a family culture where curiosity fuels connection, everyday moments become meaningful memories, and a generational legacy is shaped in real time.
Learning isn't meant to be separate from life, and the heart of your homeschool isn't curriculum—it's the culture you're creating together.
This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about choosing what matters most—on purpose.
How I came to this work
For two decades, I’ve walked alongside homeschool families—not just as an educator, but as a leader, mentor, writer, and guide.
My journey began in homeschool publishing and curriculum creation, then expanded into community leadership—serving as a board moderator, unit study designer, and assistant editor for a national homeschool organization.
Locally, I led three homeschool communities, including the largest in Northwest Houston, serving over 650 families. I founded a Teen Leadership Council to support college-bound students through character formation, leadership development, and real-world application—blending rigor with purpose (and a lot of joy).
I've spoken at events and mentored countless parents through the process of starting homeschooling, creating a blueprint for high school, navigating dual credit and university applications, and high school transcripts and complete records.
For sixteen years, I homeschooled my own daughters from preschool through graduation, designing learning paths that honored their unique strengths, needs, and callings.
Both graduated from our family’s homeschool high school with earned college credit.
Both were accepted to every university they applied to—receiving generous scholarships along the way.
My oldest graduated with a semester of college credit and an esthetician license. She is now pursuing a bachelor’s degree in business.
My youngest graduated at age 16 with an associate degree, and graduated from TCU, Cum Laude, at age 19. She is now pursuing a graduate degree in clinical mental health.
Both of my daughters also have special needs—shaping how I think about pacing, documentation, nervous-system safety, and long-term vision.
Most importantly, our home was rich in connection, curiosity, laughter, and shared memories that still bind us together.
I’ve lived this work at the kitchen table, in leadership rooms, and in the long arc between wonder and adulthood.
When we work together, you’re not borrowing confidence—you’re learning to lead from it.

NOTES FROM THE KITCHEN TABLE
A few reflections on leading a learning home
Throughout the years, I’ve written honestly about homeschooling—from the preschool days to the college-prep seasons, from crisis moments to quiet breakthroughs.
These reflections aren’t how-tos.
They’re reminders that leadership grows in real life.
The days are long. The years are short. But your legacy lasts forever.
Your family's story matters.
