Hey there, mama! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a homeschooling mom just like you—I’ve graduated 4 of my 6 kids, and I know firsthand the highs, the doubts, and the “am I doing this right?” moments. I also know the joy of seeing kids light up with confidence when they create something they’re proud of. That’s why I created Creative Connections—to be your go-to space for homeschool art that builds confidence, sparks creativity, and encourages self-expression. Whether you have a perfectionist child afraid of making mistakes, a kid who loves to create but needs direction, or you just want to make learning more hands-on and joyful, you’re in the right place. You’ll find engaging art projects, practical teaching tips, and encouragement to remind you that you are enough—and that homeschooling can be both meaningful and fun. Let’s make art a stress-free, confidence-boosting part of your homeschool journey.
