Welcome to Rock Your Homeschool!

You care deeply about helping your kids love learning.
But you’re tired, busy, and on a budget.
Same! That’s why I’m all about fun-focused learning: simple, flexible, and oh-so-easy ideas that help you connect, create, and celebrate progress even on those chaotic days.

Hey there – I’m Amy!

Homeschool fun coach

I’m Amy, a fun-focused mom of five boys, homeschooler for over 14 years, and firm believer that learning should be joyful, flexible, and full of connection.

Rock Your Homeschool was born from my desire to help other families and educators experience that same joy – and know that learning doesn’t have to be stressful or complicated. With simple activities, practical tips, and a relaxed mindset, you can enjoy this amazing time with your kids (and maybe even sneak in some fun for yourself, too!).

⭐️ Quick version (because I know you’re busy!):  I went from a hot mess express who was overwhelmed with the situation of suddenly homeschooling 2 boys (and pregnant with a toddler clinging to my legs) to a relaxed + eclectic large family homeschooler embracing outside-the-box learning with a massive lean towards growth mindset skills.

As a mom to 5 boys, I find myself using my psychology and therapy experience (that Master’s Degree really did pay off!) Every. Single. Day. (okay-multiple times an hour) to enjoy homeschool life to the extreme 🎉

Even before we officially started homeschooling, I was all about creating meaningful ways to explore the world with my boys. From tummy time moments to silly STEM challenges in the backyard, fun-focused learning has been a part of our family culture from day one.

And now 2 of my boys have graduated ✨ My oldest took the trade path (construction). And my second boy is thriving as a collegiate athlete while studying History and Secondary Education. Oh, and I’m still homeschooling my 3 younger boys!

⭐️ The good news is that you CAN positively homeschool and make learning fun – even if you don’t have a background in psychology and therapy. I’m here to share from my experiences –resources, tips, and secrets for enjoying learning fun and making the most of this special time with your family.

So, What Does It Mean to Be Fun-Focused?

Wondering what it means to embrace a fun-focused learning life?
Oh my stars…it’s delightful, empowering, and totally doable even when you’re tired, busy, and stretched thin!
Here are just a few of the feel-good wins that come with a fun-focused approach:

  • Creating a positive learning environment that feels relaxed and inviting
  • Feeling confident in how you support your kids, even when things aren’t perfect
  • Focusing on progress over pressure (and embracing growth along the way!)
  • Embracing a relaxed routine that works for you and your family
  • Using flexible routines that work with your real life
  • Letting go of guilt and overwhelm so you can enjoy learning together
  • Building strong, connected relationships through play, creativity, and shared experiences

If that sounds like what you’ve been looking for, you’re in the right place 🥰️

Let’s make learning fun again – together!

I’m new to homeschooling and have no idea where to begin. HELP!

Oh girl, I get it! I’m the product of public school and both of my parents were teachers. I didn’t even know what homeschooling was until my oldest son’s eye specialist recommended it to see if it would help decrease his migraines and anxiety!

One of my favorite parts about being a homeschool blogger (besides sharing ideas and resources with you!) is working with other influencers to strengthen and support each other. I’ve been a member of iHomeschool Network for over 8 years and have met some of the most brilliant women through it.

Also, podcasts have been such cool ways to connect with other homeschoolers! I hosted or been featured on several podcasts (and now have my own – Positively Homeschooling) like:
