Feel Behind Before the Week Even Starts? Let’s Change That.

You don’t need another planner.
You need a moment to think, and a rhythm that actually works for your family.

Join me this Sunday morning from 7–9 am PT for Busy Bees Plan and Prep, a cozy, come-and-go session just for homeschool moms.

It’s not a class. It’s not a meeting.
It’s a soft space to:
🌼 Clear the mental clutter
📝 Choose your top priorities
🎯 Set goals that fit real life
🧠 Get focused without the overwhelm

You’ll walk away feeling:
✔️ Centered
✔️ Capable
✔️ And excited to start the week

No pressure to stay the whole time.
No judgment if your kids are up early.
Just a quiet rhythm, a hot cup of something, and a chance to show up for you, before you show up for everyone else.

BUSY BEES PLAN AND PREP (7 am - 9 am PT)
