Homeschool Systems That Work When Life Gets Messy

a Pulling Together Five brand

Let's be honest—homeschooling can feel like trying to build an airplane while you're flying it. Especially when life throws curveballs your way.

Whether you're just starting your homeschool journey or looking to bring some sanity to your current approach, you're in the right place.

I'm Sarah, the creator behind Pulling Together Five and its homeschool division, and I believe that effective homeschool organization doesn't require perfection—just systems that bend without breaking when real life happens.

Who This Is For

You might be in the right place if:

  • You're new to homeschooling and feeling overwhelmed by all the options

  • You're juggling homeschooling with other significant responsibilities

  • You've tried organization systems that worked...until they didn't

  • You're going through a major life transition while trying to keep education on track

  • You're tired of homeschool systems designed for "perfect conditions" that fall apart when life gets messy

I created these resources specifically for homeschool parents who need practical, flexible systems that work through military moves, health challenges, or just the beautiful chaos of everyday family life.

What Makes This Different

During my breast cancer treatment, I discovered something unexpected: the super-simplified homeschool systems I cobbled together out of necessity actually worked BETTER than my elaborate pre-cancer plans.

When energy was scarce and my focus was split between treatment and teaching, I found what truly mattered in our homeschool. That revelation changed everything about how I approach organization.

The digital tools and templates I'm creating aren't perfect—they're practical. They're designed to:

  • Work even when you can't

  • Make sense to anyone helping with your homeschool

  • Require minimal daily input

  • Adapt to your family's changing needs

  • Keep you compliant with state requirements without the stress
