My last homeschooler was accepted to university. From Legos to engineering—here’s what this milestone really feels like.

Maybe you feel it too: the rushing, the reactivity, the sense that you’re giving endlessly but forgetting to pause long enough to notice you. That’s why I created the 12-Day Homeschool Mom Self-Care Challenge — not as another task, not as pressure, and not as a self-improvement project… but as a gentle return. A remembering. A coming home. Before you read any further, take one moment: Place your hand on your heart. Take a long breath down to your belly. This — presence — is where gentle self-care begins. I know what it’s like to lose yourself in the noise of meeting everyone else’s needs. I’ve lived seasons where I was overtired, overstimulated, and wondering why I snapped at the people I adored most. I wasn’t a “bad mom.” I was simply disconnected from myself. My turning point came from a pause. Every day at 11 a.m. — the time I was most likely to lose my mind — I stopped. Hand on heart. One slow breath. A moment to ask: • What’s happening inside me right now? • What feeling is living in my body? • What do I need? That tiny practice changed my entire internal landscape. And that’s what this 12-day challenge offers you — small, humane, nervous-system-supportive practices to help you reconnect with the woman beneath the noise. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or just tired from carrying so much… this is for you. ✨ Get your 12 Days of Self-Care here! A slow, kind, grounding experience to help you return to clarity, calm, and inner connection. Not hustle. Not striving. Just a softer way of living your homeschool life. With warmth and gentleness, Teresa ps Let these 12 days be your invitation to come home to yourself — again, or maybe for the first time.
