Is this for me?

Built for the mom who’s done winging it

✓ This is for you if…

  • You’ve been homeschooling 1–5 years and planning has been mostly improvised
  • You love Charlotte Mason but the logistics feel overwhelming
  • You start each year with good intentions and hit a wall by November
  • You’re not sure if you’ll finish your books — and that low-grade anxiety never leaves
  • You want a real system, not more tips

✗ This isn’t for you if…

  • You already have a rock-solid planning system that works beautifully
  • You’re brand-new to Charlotte Mason and still figuring out the basics
  • You’re looking for curriculum recommendations (this is about structure, not books)
Why it keeps falling apart

You don’t have a planning problem.
You have a system problem.

Most of us start the school year the same way: a rough idea of what we want to cover, some books we’re excited about, and a growing sense of anxiety once October arrives and we’re not sure if we’re behind.

The problem isn’t that you don’t know Charlotte Mason. You’ve read the books. You’ve saved the Instagram posts. You have a folder called “planning ideas.”

The problem is that no one has ever sat with you and actually walked you through how to build the whole thing — start to finish, your actual family, your real season.

That’s what this workshop is.

Introducing
The Living Year Framework™

Four parts. One clear path. Built during our three hours together — for your real children, in your real season.

01
Map Your Year — See the Whole Arc at Once
Start dates, end dates, terms, and breaks — locked in. You’ll highlight eleven months of calendars so the whole shape of your year is visible on paper. Not in theory. In your hands.
You leave with: a real calendar — terms, breaks, and the shape of your whole year visible at once
02
Build Your Timetable — Around Your Real Mornings
I’ll show you the method I use to build a Charlotte Mason timetable — which subjects, how often, how long — arranged around your actual life, not an ideal version of it.
You leave with: a timetable in progress and a clear method you can finish in one sitting at home
03
Forecast Your Books — Never Reach December Wondering
Simple math tells you exactly how far you need to get each week to finish each book. You’ll never open October wondering if you’re behind.
You leave with: a weekly page target for every book — no more guessing in November
04
Create Your Daily Checklist — What Works on Hard Mornings
The piece that makes the whole system work on a Tuesday morning when the toddler is loud and you haven’t had your coffee yet. You open it and it tells you exactly what to do.
You leave with: a daily checklist for each child, ready to use Monday morning
What moms are saying

“Erin took my general idea of using Ambleside Online + my answers to her questionnaire + a 1:1 conversation and put together a great plan for our family. It’s only May and I already have next year’s plan and all my books purchased. Her curriculum knowledge is extensive — and I finally avoided analysis paralysis. Her prices are incredibly reasonable for the value.”

“It doesn’t have to be perfect.
It just has to be faithful.”

You’re not learning from a blogger
You’re learning from a teacher.

I came to Charlotte Mason the same way you probably did — overwhelmed, intrigued, unsure if I could actually do it. I remember sitting with her writings feeling like I was missing something everyone else seemed to understand.

Then I went to a retreat and watched it demonstrated. And I thought: oh. It doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be faithful.

Before I started Living Ideas Planner, I was a classroom teacher and curriculum director. I know what it looks like when a plan is built to actually be used versus built to look good on paper.

If you show up, do the work, and leave without knowing exactly what to do for every subject, every week, all year — I will personally sit with you to finish it. That’s not a marketing line. I mean it.

I hear you

The things you might be thinking

“Three hours is a lot. Will I actually finish everything?”
We cover all four parts together — and for each one, you build while we’re in the room. Some sections you’ll finish completely. Others you’ll start live and finish at home the same day, with the method fully in hand. You won’t leave with homework. You’ll leave knowing exactly what to do next.
“I’m not sure my family situation is typical enough for this to work for us.”
The workshop is built for real families — not ideal ones. There’s explicit guidance for moms with newborns, toddlers, special circumstances, and non-standard schedules. The whole framework is designed to flex around your actual season.
“I’ve tried to plan before and it always falls apart.”
A plan falls apart when it doesn’t reflect your real life. What we’re building in this workshop is honest — realistic frequencies, built-in flex blocks, a daily checklist you can actually follow. The goal isn’t a perfect plan. It’s a faithful one.
“I can’t make it live. Is this still worth it?”
Honestly — the live experience is where most of the value is. That said, the full recording will be available, and the workbook is designed to be usable on your own too.
“Does this work if I have multiple kids at different levels?”
Yes — the workbook has columns for up to three children, and the timetable section specifically walks through how to schedule individual lesson time alongside shared family subjects.
“What if I’m not using AmblesideOnline or a specific curriculum?”
The framework is curriculum-agnostic. Whether you’re using AO, a hybrid approach, or building entirely from your own book list — the planning structure works the same.
“Will the price really go up?”
Yes. The pre-sale price of $37 closes on June 19. After that, the workshop will be available as a recording for $67. The live experience won’t come around again until next year.
✦ ✦ ✦

Come build your school year.

In three hours, you’ll know exactly what to do for every subject, every week, all year — for your real children, in your real season, with nothing left to figure out on your own.
