If you’ve ever felt like your homeschool mornings needed a little more structure—but not too much—or a spark of creativity that didn’t take hours to plan, you’re not alone. That’s exactly where I found myself not long ago. As a homeschooling mom and classroom teacher, I loved the idea of unit studies, and I adored the peaceful concept of a morning basket. But in real life? I often found myself juggling lesson plans, grading, household tasks, and just trying to drink my coffee while it was still warm. I needed something flexible, meaningful, and ready to go. That’s how Digestible Discoveries was born.
What Is Digestible Discoveries?
Digestible Discoveries is a monthly homeschool magazine designed to bring together history, science, art, and language arts in a creative and approachable way. Each issue is built around a monthly theme and filled with short, engaging lessons and activities your child can complete in just 10–20 minutes a day.
You can use it:
As a morning basket starter
For a gentle unit study introduction
As a daily warm-up or independent work option
Or just when you need something educational to fill a gap in your day
It’s truly made to fit into real-life homeschooling—even the days when nothing goes quite as planned.
🌎 Why I Created It
When I started homeschooling, I tried all kinds of curriculum styles. I was drawn to anything that made learning feel connected and purposeful—but I also needed something I could actually keep up with. I wanted my kids to be curious, not just compliant. I wanted to encourage creativity and conversation, not just checkboxes. But I also needed it to be open-and-go and standards-aware, especially as my kids got older.
Digestible Discoveries became the perfect middle ground. It’s structured enough to feel purposeful, but flexible enough to be used in whatever way works best for your family.
What’s Inside?
Each issue of Digestible Discoveries includes:
A monthly theme that ties everything together
Short articles across multiple subjects
Fun prompts and creative activities
Writing sparks, puzzles, and open-ended questions
Optional extension ideas for deeper exploration
It’s designed for grades 6–9, but can be easily adapted for a wider age range.

Let’s be real: sometimes you just need 15 minutes to sip your coffee in peace. With Digestible Discoveries, your kids are doing something that’s not only educational, but engaging—and you’re not scrambling to pull it together.
