Hello! I’m Loura and I’ve been homeschooling my two kids since 2020. Thanks for checking out this corner of my website. Here you’ll find my end-of-the-year homeschooling writeups, booklists, and whatever else strikes my fancy. If you had to put me in a box, I’m a rigorous, eclectic, and secular homeschool mom who also works fulltime. I’m raising my kids to be well-rounded, educated, and kind individuals.

I’m homeschooling my two kids this year. Ninth grade for my son and seventh for my daughter. I decided that it was time to get create a better workspace for them. Something that fits their ages a bit better and reflects a bit more independence. âĶ

When I started this whole homeschooling journey I really only anticipated it lasting until High School and then off to school my kids would go. But my son really wants to homeschool high school and… I kind of want him to, too ð
