REAL FEEDBACK FROM REAL FAMILIES...

L. SULLIVAN

"Top notch homeschool materials. Journaling through interests is a life changer. Love these journals and can't wait to try more!"

M. MERISE

"We love how easy it is to use. And that it ticks the boxes for the curriculum requirements."

C. REYNEKE

"The material is of high quality, allowing plenty of freedom for interest-led learning but with right amount of “nudging” to ensure that material is covered in a very sensical way."

E. TANG

"They aren’t boring texts but journals for a child to acquire independent research skills, record THEIR learning and express their individuality and creative self. They develop language skills and critical thinking on the stealth; the child doesn’t even know it!"

C. HOOPER

"My kids love these journals. They are packed full of resources to perfectly support their own research. My 13 year old works through her chosen journal in her free time, as she doesn't even see it as school work! Couldn't be happier with them 😊"

Hi, I'm Mandy...

...the owner, author and graphic designer of Learning and Journaling.

I empower Mamas to achieve their goals of raising independent thinkers through online resources: workshops, instant access courses, and my unique collection of homeschool journals in Learning & Journaling.

I'm Mama to four completely individual kids with completely different interests. 😅
Most days our home is noisy, crazy, and full of life. I homeschool so that I can create champions - kids who are growing into adults who know who they are and what their unique speciality is that they offer to the world. Their individuality fuels my need to create unique learning experiences for each of them.

It's an honour to serve your family with these resources.

SIMPLIFYING LEARNING TO MAXIMISE EDUCATION...

That's what Learning & Journaling can do for your homeschool experience.

Whether it's finding a journal that sparks interest and curiousity amidst a tedious set curriculum...

Or hitting the majority of the education outcomes through using the journals and simply supplementing with a Math program...

The choice is yours.

Life-schooling, unschooling, funschooling, it's all great, and exactly what our kids need. But we all need a little bit of structure in our lives too.

Learning & Journaling offers a guided tour through interests and opens the way for educational "rabbit holes".

MORE FEEDBACK FROM MORE FAMILIES...

K. UTJESENOIC-DORE

"With homeschooling it’s hard to find the right mix of a topic that is child lead and interest based. These journals are wonderful and my son loves the research and investigative nature involved with them. These journals are high quality and totally affordable."

REBECCA

"Amazing!

It's amazing such good quality content the ways of teaching is so fun and not just text book style learning. There is a lot of pages to print but it's cheaper than buying book after book elsewhere."

NADIA

"Great workbook, lots of different types of activities to keep the student interested. Great to keep as a reminder for the future or to show work progress."

MARY

"A well thought out and well executed PDF. My child enjoyed the clarity of it and the extra ideas for activities in particular. It is wonderful to have such resources available to home schooling families. Thank you."

Are you tired of struggling through boring or highly structured curriculum in your homeschool day?

Seeing your unique, perceptive, champion child disappear into parrot learning and simply ticking the boxes?

I’m here to help you leverage your child’s interests, to engage their learning, & ultimately empower you (and your child) to trust the natural learning process.

My instant access homeschool journals and short courses are designed to help you simplify learning, maximise education, and transition to DIYing your child’s study.

THE GOAL?

For you to be able to stop stressing and focus on developing your child into the best they can be.

John Holt, unschooling advocate

“It is as true now as it was then that no matter what tests show,
very little of what is taught in school is learned,
very little of what is learned is remembered,
and very little of what is remembered is used.

The things we learn, remember, and use are the things we seek out or meet in the daily, serious, non-school parts of our lives.”

MORE ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Mandy. I am a risk-taker who loves to journey down the road less travelled. I am also wife to Digby and mother of 4 lively homeschooled kids. You will find my accent a blend of my South African roots and Australian twang.

Following on from my own recovery from mental health issues and resistance to parenting, I now use my signature strategies as a coach and health educator to help overwhelmed women come out from behind their kids to reclaim and reestablish who they are.

The solutions I offer are simple, ones that build trust in the design and the Designer of humans and their ultimate core purpose of living out love and gratitude.

My areas of expertise are constantly growing, currently, through years of training and practise, I can teach you about home remedies, homeschooling, depression recovery, and personal identity.

I believe every life is one of purpose and potential, and that it all starts with discovering who and Whose you truly are.

I love simple, practical steps that bring results FAST! Mothers don't have time to muddle around with solutions that MIGHT help, they need answers that are quick and effective ASAP.

I look forward to getting to know you more!
