Hey friend! Welcome to one of my favorite corners of this site. I put this page together because I get asked all the time "What do you actually use?" So here it is: the real stuff. The things I reach for in our homeschool room, my kitchen, my quiet time, and around the house. Everything here is something I genuinely love, and I only share what I'd actually tell a friend about over coffee.

I've organized it by category so you can jump straight to what you need. And yes these are Amazon affiliate links, which means if you purchase through my links, I earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. It's one of the ways you help support this ministry and keep the content coming. I appreciate you more than you know!

Homeschool Essentials

For the mama who wears the teacher hat every single day, this one's for you.

If you've been around here for a while, you know that homeschooling is more than just what we do — it's central to who we are as a family. I've tried a lot of things over the years, and these are the supplies that have actually stuck around in our home. Whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned homeschool veteran, I think you'll love these.

• Laminator Machine (Scotch or Amazon Basics) — Y'all, a laminator changed my life. I laminate everything — worksheets, flashcards, chore charts. Slip a dry-erase marker on it and your kids can use the same page over and over. Such a money saver.

• Dry-Erase Pockets (30-pack) — Slide any paper inside and instantly turn it into a reusable activity. Great for all ages, especially those early years.

• Colorful Gel Pens (Shuttle Art 72-count) — Notebooking, planners, copywork — these make everything more fun. My kids are way more motivated when they get to use pretty pens.

• Composition Notebooks (bulk 24-pack) — You will go through these faster than you think. Buy in bulk, save money, thank yourself later.

• Learning Resources Magnetic US Map Puzzle — This is such a great hands-on supplement for geography. Perfect pairing with my 50-State Homeschool Requirements Guide!

• Explode the Code Phonics Books — These are perfect for independent practice. My kids can grab a book and work through a few pages without needing me hovering. Love that.

• Homeschool Planner (undated) — Keeping our days structured starts with a good plan. This keeps lessons, goals, and curriculum all in one place.

• Adjustable Student Desk with Storage — Every learner needs their own dedicated space. This one grows with your kids and keeps supplies organized underneath.

Tip: Pair these with my 50-State Homeschool Requirements Guide to stay on top of your state's regulations, available in the downloads section!

Faith & Devotional

The tools that help me stay rooted in the Word, even on the busiest days.

Faith is the foundation of everything I do — this ministry, our homeschool, our home. These are the resources that have genuinely fed my soul and helped me show up with more peace, more purpose, and more of God's Word in my heart. I hope they bless you the same way they've blessed me.

• ESV Study Bible (large print) — My go-to for deep study. The notes and commentary are incredible, and the large print is a gift to tired mama eyes.

• She Reads Truth Bible (CSB) — Beautiful, readable, and made with women in mind. This would make a gorgeous gift for any woman in your life.

• Guided Prayer Journal (Christian women) — Daily prompts that make prayer feel less like a checklist and more like a real conversation with God.

• Streams in the Desert (daily devotional) — A timeless classic. I've gone back to this one during hard seasons and it never fails to meet me exactly where I am.

• "Fervent" by Priscilla Shirer — This book completely changed the way I approach prayer. If you've been feeling like your prayers aren't landing, start here.

• Bible Journaling Supplies Kit — Highlighting, stamping, doodling in the margins — it sounds simple but it makes Bible reading feel so alive and joyful.

• Christian Affirmation Card Deck — I keep a stack of these nearby during quiet time. Speaking truth over yourself daily is a practice, and these make it easy.

"I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you." — Psalm 119:11

Mom Self-Care

Because you can't pour from an empty cup, sis. This section is for you.

I know, I know — self-care can feel impossible when you're homeschooling, running a household, building a business, and just trying to make it to bedtime. But even the smallest intentional moments add up. These are the things that help me reset, refuel, and show up better for my family and this community.

• CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser — Gentle, effective, and under $15. Dermatologist-recommended and a staple in my routine. You don't have to spend a lot to take care of your skin.

• Silk Sleep Mask (ALASKA BEAR) — If you're squeezing in naps or need to block out light during rest, this is the one. So soft, so good.

• Lavender Shea Butter Soap Set — An affordable spa moment right in your own bathroom. The lavender scent is perfect for an evening wind-down.

• Kindle Paperwhite (16GB) — For those of us on a reading habit journey — this little device holds your entire reading list in one lightweight package. A game changer.

• Stanley Quencher Tumbler (40 oz) — Stay hydrated through all the homeschool chaos and content creation marathons. Your brain and body will thank you.

• Open-Ear Bluetooth Headphones (Shokz) — Listen to your podcast or worship music while still hearing your kids. Honestly genius for homeschool moms.

• Weighted Blanket (15 lb) — For intentional rest — especially meaningful on Sundays when I'm prioritizing Sabbath. This one is cozy and calming.

Rest is not a reward. It is a rhythm God designed for us. Give yourself permission to receive it.

Home & Organization

A calm, organized home makes everything else run smoother — homeschooling, content days, all of it.

I'm a firm believer that your environment reflects and affects your peace of mind. When the house feels chaotic, everything feels harder. These are the organization tools that have genuinely helped me bring order to the homeschool space, the kitchen, and everything in between.

• Acrylic Fridge Organizer Bins (8-set) — See everything at a glance, reduce food waste, and make meal prep so much easier. Clear bins are the move.

• Homeschool Supply Caddy / Rotating Organizer — Corrals all the pens, scissors, and markers in one place. Easy to carry room to room and easy for kids to put things back.

• Command Strips (large value pack) — Hang anchor charts, schedules, maps, and decor without a single hole in the wall. A homeschool room essential.

• Clear Stackable Storage Bins (with labels) — Sort curriculum by subject, store art supplies by season, keep board games accessible — these do it all.

• Dry-Erase Wall Calendar (weekly/monthly) — Seeing the full picture — school week, content schedule, family events — in one place is everything for a planning mama.

• Password Book (organized A-Z) — If you're an entrepreneur managing multiple platforms, email lists, and tools — keep your logins safe, offline, and organized.

Tip: Label everything. Seriously. Label it and your whole household will function better. You're welcome.
