(Coffee-Stained, Chaos-Filled, & True)

The Mom Behind
the Mess

Oh hey.
I'm Lindy.
And I didn’t write this from a sun-drenched desk with a curated cup of tea and a color-coded schedule on the wall.
I wrote it in the margins of my real life.
In the quiet moments after bedtime. In the car during softball practice. In between the chaos of a toddler meltdown, a missed lesson, and reheating my coffee for the fourth time.
Because I’m a homeschool mom too. And not the kind you see on Pinterest.
I’m the kind who second-guesses herself daily. Who feels behind even when we’ve actually had a good day. Who’s teaching in the middle of real life—with bills on the counter, kids on the floor, and a marriage that’s sometimes teamwork and sometimes tug-of-war.
Some days I feel completely unequipped for this job.
Other days, I see the sparkle in my kid’s eyes when something clicks and think, “Maybe I can do this after all.”
And that’s why I made this. Not to teach you how to homeschool. But to remind you that you already are.
Here, you'll find a collection of permission slips, mindset shifts, and practical tools for real moms raising real kids in the real world. Because there is no “right way” — just truth, grace, and the reminder that you don’t need to fit someone else’s mold to give your kids a beautiful education.
You can teach from the couch, from the car, or from a park bench.
You can do it messy.
You can do it tired.
You can do it while still figuring yourself out.
Because homeschooling isn’t about mastering a method. It’s about showing up—consistently, imperfectly, and with love.
And if today, showing up was all you managed - then I’m here to tell you: That’s enough.
I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s take a deep breath and walk this road together.
With you in the chaos,
Lindy
