Hello, I’m Karen, a homeschooling mama who has spent over a decade following the timeless wisdom of Charlotte Mason, slowly building a homeschool filled with living books, nature walks, peaceful rhythms, and gentle lessons.
“This space isn’t just about lesson plans, it’s about the gentle atmosphere of home. Homeschooling can be beautiful, peace-filled, and sustainable.”
School with Mom grew out of my desire to share the encouragement, resources, and gentle inspiration I wish I’d had when I began. Let’s walk this lovely road together.
