How I earned the lantern:
My elementary education degree gave me a useful skillset that many homeschooling parents don't have. Let me be clear: YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A TEACHER TO HOMESCHOOL. But sometimes my background gives me a unique perspective that can help other parents overcome the obstacles they're facing in their own homeschool journeys.
Being in the classroom taught me one thing: I never wanted my own children in public or traditional private school. So when our youngest was born in 2005, we began our own homeschooling journey. In 2026 our journey concluded with the graduation of our youngest, and those twenty-one years taught me A LOT – which I gladly now share with you here at Lantern & Path.
Early on, I taught private school while my husband taught our girls. Friends started asking why we didn't take advantage of the free tuition we'd receive at my school, and I began sharing not only why we homeschooled but how to get started. Eventually that evolved into a homeschool coaching business (previously known as GoodSchooling) which has been formally running since 2016.
Pick a path to get started:
"I need help getting started but can do the rest myself – and I prefer to read."
"I need help getting started but can do the rest myself – and I prefer video."
"I want an expert to take the guesswork out of homeschooling.
"I'm just researching homeschooling and am not convinced yet that I can do it."
