Resources.

Things that actually helped. If it's here, we use it — curated slowly, on purpose.

We don't stock a shelf for the sake of it. These are the tools, printables, guides, and ideas we've actually reached for — tested in our kitchen, our backyard, our homeschool room. If it earned a place here, we trust it. — curated slowly, on purpose

Our shelf this year.

2026–27 · Sōzō, 12 · Kibō, 8

Every homeschool group has one question on repeat: "what curriculum are you actually using?" So here's ours — the real list, updated each year, including the parts we haven't figured out yet.

What everything else leans on

Both kids, daily — Chores, then reading, then journaling. Each kid works through their own Jent page during the week, then journals against it.

Sōzō, 12 Math, book club, Taekwondo — plus one line still finding its shape. See his week → Kibō, 8 Beast Academy, Minecraft together, Taekwondo with her brother — and writing we're still shaping. See her week →

The blanks are real. We'd rather show you a true list with holes than a polished one that doesn't exist.

How something earns a place here.

We actually use it — months, usually years, not a weekend. Nobody pays us; there are no sponsored spots and no affiliate math behind the verdicts. We tell you what it really costs and who it's NOT for. And it has to pass the Tuesday test: will the kid open it on an ordinary Tuesday without a fight?
