A Home Education Handbook

Do Have You Similar Concerns?

  • Are my kids doing enough? 
  • What does a homeschool day look like? 
  • Will there be gaps in my child's education? 
  • Will I mess up my child if  I teach him at home? 
  • How do we stay on track and not fall behind? 

If you have some of these fears,  then this book is for you!

Simple & Balanced

Whether you are new to homeschooling or you have been homeschooling for years, you will find A Home Education Handbook:  Nine Questions to Ask for Simple & Balanced Home-Based Learning refreshing, encouraging, and extremely helpful.


Carrie De Francisco's new book is a transformative guide for homeschool parents. Designed to streamline homeschooling, this book equips moms to craft meaningful, stress-free days filled with rich educational experiences, ensuring every day is a great homeschool day. This book will help you shift your mindset from doing "school at home" to embracing a true home education experience.


This book will help you transform your overwhelming daily academic "To Do List" or weekly "Lesson Plans" into an easy, manageable, and meaningful checklist. 


This accessible guide will empower parents to create the home education environment they’ve always envisioned.

What's Included

Part One:  Common Concerns

The first section addresses some of the most common questions critics ask and several of the most common fears home educators have such as "Is my child doing enough?"


Part Two:  Today, Did We...? Checklist

The second section offers nine powerful questions to reflect on daily or while planning weekly lessons. If a mom can answer "yes" to each, she can feel confident her children are learning, growing, and thriving.   It is a guide to nurturing a well-rounded home education, blending rest, worship, reading, writing, care for home and others, problem-solving, movement, creativity, and nature exploration.

Foreword by Amy Hughes

Author of Words Like Honey

 “When Carrie asked me to read A Home Education Handbook, I was thrilled. Carrie is one of those wise and witty homeschooling moms who discovered freedom long ago and just wants to share that freedom with others. I had a feeling this book would contain nuggets of gold to help new, struggling, and seasoned homeschooling mamas discover that same freedom. To help them discover joy. To help them eliminate anxiety, overwhelm, and stress. I was right. This book is the book I wish I had read right from the beginning. The one that would have given me permission to homeschool the way that felt natural. It would have given me peace of mind. It would have given me vision and clarity. It would have saved me (and those little guinea pig first kiddos) a lot of trouble and tears."
