What Guides Us...
Home Edventurers grew from my own life; from home educating my children, growing work alongside family life, and realising how different this path is from what most advice assumes.
When you home educate, everything moves to a different rhythm. Days are shaped around children, curiosity, seasons, and connection rather than rigid schedules. Building a business within that life looks different too and that difference doesn't mean we’re doing anything wrong.
I’m deeply inspired by the Nordic way of life, where simplicity, warmth, and balance are valued over speed and scale. A way of living that understands childhood, family life, and meaningful work are best nurtured slowly with space to breathe, notice, and grow together.
I know that working for ourself is often essential for home-educating mums. I also know that most business advice doesn’t fit our reality. We’re not building in long, uninterrupted hours. We’re building in the margins of family life; around learning, care, and real days.
Choosing a slower, more intentional pace isn’t failure. For many of us, it’s the only way to grow and stay well.
Home Edventurers is a place where learning, living, and business are woven together. Where work fits around family life rather than competing with it. Where growth is measured not just in numbers, but in calm, connection, and sustainability.
Family at the Heart
Family is at the centre of everything I do, always. I believe childhood and parenthood deserve space to unfold magically and gently, without being squeezed between tasks. Learning and earning happen within shared days through stories, rituals, laughter, and the ordinary moments that quietly become memories.
Nature as Our Guide
Nature quietly shapes my days. Living with the seasons, wandering outdoors, and noticing small changes help me stay grounded. Nature reminds me when it’s time to grow, when it’s time to tend gently, and when it’s time to rest; lessons that guide both learning and work.
Slowness & Presence
I value unhurried days. In home education and in work, I’ve found that slowing down creates room for clarity, creativity, and joy. A gentler pace allows us to stay present, avoid burnout, and build lives that feel steady and nourishing rather than overwhelming.
Spirituality and Wonder
Curiosity leads the way here. I leave room for wonder, folklore, imagination, and the small, everyday magic that often goes unnoticed. Trusting intuition and inner knowing feels far kinder, and far more sustainable, than chasing outside expectations.
Community and Connection
This path can feel lonely without the right people around you. Home education and family-centred business both flourish when we’re surrounded by others who understand this life without explanation. Home Edventurers is my way of creating that cosy gathering place; a circle of home educating mums, SEND mums, slow family business mums who share, encourage, and grow together. A space where you don’t need to justify your pace or your priorities, and where gentle growth is celebrated.
A Gentle Kind of Success
For me, success looks like flexible income that supports family life, children who feel safe and curious, and days that leave room for warmth and rest. It’s growth that protects sanity, presence, and hygge and feels good inside and out.
