This year stretched me, softened me, and showed me parts of myself I hadn’t fully met yet. Some plans worked. Some fell apart. Some had to be released so better ones could find me. And honestly, I’m grateful for all of it. As I step into 2026, my focus is clear: I’m choosing alignment over pressure. Peace over proving. Depth over distraction. 2026 is about building with intention, not rushing for applause. It’s about honoring my energy, protecting my time, and committing to the visions that feel rooted instead of rushed. I’m setting goals that support my life, not consume it. Growth that feels sustainable. Success that feels like home. I’m planning boldly, but living gently. Dreaming big, but moving wisely. Leaving behind what drained me and carrying forward what truly nourished my spirit. If 2025 taught me anything, it’s that clarity comes after courage—and I’m walking into 2026 with both. Here’s to new plans, healed priorities, and a year that feels as good as it looks.

Add this to your morning routine: “What’s one thing you want to learn today?” Kids will blow your mind with their answers. What did your child say today?

Learning happens through: Baking. Walking. Talking. Reading together. Doing nothing together. What’s one “non-school” activity that turned into learning for your child?

Try this question: “Is this a learning issue or a feeling issue?” Nine times out of ten, it’s emotional, not academic. What helps your child self-regulate?

If your child spent the entire day drawing, building, dancing, or narrating stories… that is legitimate learning. Creativity is intelligence in motion. How does creativity show up in your homeschool?
