One of the things I love most about libraries is that they exist for EVERYONE.

Not everyone will see themselves in every book. Not every story will reflect every family’s experience. That’s okay.

The purpose of a library isn’t to tell us what to think. It’s to give us access to ideas, perspectives, histories, and experiences beyond our own.

I want my children to grow into curious, critical thinkers who can engage with a diverse world. Libraries help make that possible.

“The libraries are for all” sign is a reminder of what public libraries have always been: places where everyone belongs and everyone can find a story.

A decade in the classroom taught me a lot.

Not just about how kids learn, but about what they actually need to thrive.

More screens didn't make kids more engaged.
More technology didn't automatically improve learning.
And good grades didn't always mean a child was happy, confident, curious, or prepared for life.

That's a big part of why we homeschool the way we do.

We prioritize connection over convenience, curiosity over compliance, and real-world experiences over endless digital ones.

You don't have to homeschool to question the messages modern parenting and education keep sending us.

What's one thing you'll never hear you say as a parent? 👇

My kids won’t feel threatened by people who are different from them ✌🏻 Happy PRIDE 🌈

If you're a homeschooler breaking all the stereotypes, welcome!

Every time I talk about the peers my kids spend time with, the media they consume, the books they read, or the values they’re surrounded by, someone says, “It’s not that serious.”

I disagree.

And it’s definitely not because I’m afraid of different people, perspectives, or ideas. Quite the opposite.

I want my kids exposed to people from different cultures, backgrounds, religions, family structures, and life experiences.

I want them reading widely, asking hard questions, and learning how to think critically.

What I care about is the environment they’re growing up in.

The habits they practice. The messages they absorb. The pressure they face. The content competing for their attention. The values being normalized every day.

Childhood shapes adulthood.

So yes, I think it’s that serious.

I know this list is going to make some people uncomfortable. Good.

Because somewhere along the way we decided that kids needed skincare routines, $20 blind box toys, Sephora hauls, and hours on Roblox to have a childhood worth talking about.

My kids have never done any of it. And they’re not missing out. They’re just… kids. Actual kids. The kind that go outside and get bored and figure it out.

I’m not judging every parent who does things differently. But I am saying we made a choice. And I’d make it again every single time.

One of my favorite things about homeschooling is being able to customize my kids’ education around their interests.

Every summer, we ask: “What do you want to learn next?”

This summer we’re focusing on chess and writing, and @outschool makes it so easy to find high-quality classes that match exactly what my kids are excited about.

Whether your child loves creative writing, coding, art, science, chess, or something completely unique, there are classes taught by passionate educators from around the world.

Summer learning doesn’t have to look like worksheets and busywork. It can look like curiosity, passion, and learning by choice.

Comment OUTSCHOOL and I’ll send you the link to get $50 off classes to try it this summer.
