Are you homeschooling a high schooler who is college bound?  

Does going through the college entrance process with your teen give you pause?  

It did for me.  

But after going through the process, I saw that I worried way too much, because I did not have a guide to follow. 

Helping my own homeschool grad get into the college of her choice, with scholarship offers to 3 other ones as well, taught me so much. 
                 
So I gathered together ALL of my best tips and put them into a book, and I recently added 7 NEW chapters to it.  

To be an encouragement to other homeschool moms of college bound teens. 

We homeschool moms are too busy to have to pull all the homeschool related college information together ourselves.

Did you know that we must now write the counselor letter of recommendation ourselves, if we use the Common Application?

How, as a homeschool mom, do we do that? 

My book will tell you how to do that. 

All well and good, but how can we keep our nurturing homeschool style while doing all the college prep things?

We did and you can, too.  My teen was blessed to be accepted by each of the colleges on her list, including a tier one U, with scholarship offers.

If you want an easy-to-follow guide to homeschooling high school and getting into college, you would like my book. 

And having this guide by your side, you can easily keep your own chosen nurturing homeschool style.  

How can you help your teen find their path?  

If you get my book, you will have a chapter with over 100 high school electives and activities to browse through and get inspired by.

Want to do college prep in a frugal way?  My book is recommended by a certified college counselor, Lessa Scherrer, who wrote the introduction.  (Please see her recommendation below.)
