Does this sound like you?
You feel like a failure, like you're just not doing a good job.
You compare yourself to other homeschool moms and wonder why you can't do it the same way they do.
You have to work, so you've started to believe you can't homeschool your kids.
You deeply want your kids home with you. You just don't know how to make it happen while wearing every hat a solo parent wears.
It is possible. You just need a way that works with your life, not against it.
HI, I'M JULIANNA
I've been the mom who felt like a failure, too.
I'm a single mom homeschooling three girls, ages 11, 9, and 7, while working from home. I was homeschooled myself, and I've homeschooled all three since kindergarten.
My first year, I bought the same big-box curriculum my mom used. By the end of the year, I'd done maybe 10 to 20 pages of Language Arts and math. I felt like a failure. Then my cousin, who homeschooled five kids through high school, started asking me about our beach days, museums, baking, and books, and told me:
"Julianna, all of that is schoolwork... THAT is homeschooling."
That changed everything. Everything in this pack is my real-life example, plus blank pages for you to find your own way.
This isn't another planner
It's not just lesson planning, and it's not a page of days and times to fill in. It's a roadmap and a mindset shift for moms who don't have a traditional life.
Real examples, not a blank slate
Every template shows up twice: mine filled in with my real week, then a blank one for yours. Sometimes just seeing how someone else does it on paper is what helps.
Built around your actual life
Not cookie-cutter Pinterest templates, and not just a traditional Monday through Friday. School fits into your real week without shifting everything around.
Permission to do it differently
Organize your kids' school around your real life, not the ideal one. Learning doesn't just look like bookwork and worksheets.
What's inside
26 printable pages. Ten templates, each shown twice, plus reference pages for when your week looks different.

This is for you if
You've already decided homeschooling is for your family. You just don't know how to go about it yet.
You're a working mom trying to homeschool, a single mom, or a mom who simply can't structure her days the way someone else does.
You're ready to ditch the Pinterest perfect routine.
Still deciding whether to homeschool at all? This pack is for the step after that decision.
A sigh of relief
Knowing you can follow a method that actually works with your life, not against it, and seeing how much bigger homeschooling can be than what you pictured.
Questions you might have
-
This isn’t your traditional planner. It gives you real-life examples of how to organize your week and parameters for scheduling homeschool around your actual life, not just a traditional Monday through Friday.
-
Yes. It’s built by a single mom, but it’s for any mom who is working and homeschooling, or who can’t structure her homeschool days the way someone else would.
-
The “If your week looks different” pages cover both, with options for working outside the home, toddlers at home, and outside help.
-
It’s designed to work with your life, not against it. You won’t have to restructure your whole week. Planning takes one 90-minute sit-down on the weekend.
-
Those are stock, cookie-cutter templates. This is built around your actual life, so homeschooling fits into your real days instead of you working your life around homeschooling.
-
No, it’s a rhythm, not a curriculum. A full list of the curriculum and resources I’ve used, with my take on each, is included.
-
It’s an instant PDF download. Print it at home on regular letter-size paper.
"Find the balance, show yourself grace, and accept where you're at...you'll have more peace when you do."
Ditch the Pinterest perfect routine.
This is homeschool the holistic, single mom way, and it's designed for someone just like you.
