Feeling Stuck or Overwhelmed?😟
Homeschooling can feel like a lot sometimes, right?
Maybe you’ve been here...
✍️Trying to get your kids excited about writing projects but facing groans and eye rolls.
⏳Spending hours pulling together lessons that still feel “meh.”
🪄Wishing your kids had more opportunities to connect with others—and actually enjoy learning.
🤹♀️Wondering how to fit it all in while juggling everything else on your plate.
You’re not alone! And guess what? You don’t have to do it all by yourself.
What If It Could Be Different?
Your kids hopping on Zoom, smiling as they connect with friends and dive into fun writing activities.
Hearing laughter as they explore poetry or share their thoughts on a favorite book.
Having more time and energy while someone else takes the lead on teaching creative writing and literature.
Feeling confident that your kids are learning, growing, and making memories—all while you get a break.
You Deserve a Break—And Your Kids Deserve the Best.
With our Live Poetry Teatimes and Book Club Events, you can check writing projects and literature lessons off your to-do list while giving your kids an unforgettable experience.
