Homeschool Mom Essentials
Create a home that nourishes both the mind and the soul with this inspiring pairing: Designing Your Own Classical Curriculum by Laura Berquist and Around the Year with the von Trapp Family by Maria von Trapp.
Together, these beloved works offer a vision for building a truly Catholic home—one rooted in intellectual formation and alive with the rhythms of the liturgical year.
In Designing Your Own Classical Curriculum, renowned home educator Laura Berquist presents a practical and adaptable guide based on the time-tested philosophy of the classical Trivium—grammar, logic, and rhetoric. Covering grades K–12, this trusted resource equips parents to craft a rich liberal arts education that forms both intellect and character. With expanded high school guidance and updated resources, it serves as a clear and confidence-building roadmap for Catholic homeschooling families.
Complementing this, Around the Year with the von Trapp Family brings the beauty of the Faith into daily family life. Maria von Trapp—best known from The Sound of Music—shares the traditions that shaped her own home: feast day celebrations, songs, recipes, stories, and customs that transform ordinary moments into joyful expressions of Catholic life. Through her wisdom and warmth, she shows how to make your home a place where faith is not only taught, but lived.
