“Rejoice with your family in the beautiful land of life!” ~Albert Einstein

I have a friend that says she enjoys “doing life” with me. I love that saying and think it is so fitting when it comes to the home front. “Doing life” requires learning and taking action. It means acquiring the necessary skills needed in order to take action in the family, in your relationships, with yourself, and your home. I believe we have been given an abundant life, awesome resources at our disposal, and just the right amount of time to work with what we have.

Here’s to rejoicing and living and doing life!

"I found my time with Gretchen to be beneficial in many ways. She made homeschooling seem do-able, was a great resource for options in curriculum, and gave me many practical tips that I could take home and start with my boys right away. Her intentional approach, not just about homeschooling, but about so many other areas of home life, is not only inspiring but also contagious.

Gretchen has always been very approachable and welcoming and extends a genuine listening ear to find out what my needs are and what direction I am hoping to take before sharing her wisdom. I am a better wife, mom, and friend because of my time with her." -Ginger, Illinois

"Before I consulted with Gretchen, I had no real direction or homeschool schedule. I was faltering in being able to keep a consistent routine and trying to recreate the wheel. I wasn't working with a particular curriculum, just pulling from place to place and losing a lot of time in the process.

During our phone consultation, Gretchen quickly and easily zoned in on key issues that were causing me to struggle in my homeschooling and was able to offer me several solutions to get past them. I have been able to overcome several of these issues with Gretchen's encouragement and support, for which I am extremely grateful. I have chosen a curriculum that works for our family & have found that "lost" time in my schedule - all with Gretchen's help." -Selene, Florida
