Welcome to The Essence of Becoming

Hi, friend!

I’m so glad you’re here. Whether you stumbled across this blog by accident or you’ve been looking for a space where motherhood, homeschooling, and faith come together in a real and imperfect way – welcome.

I’m a mum doing her best to raise good humans, create a home filled with love and learning, and follow Jesus Christ through all the beautiful (and sometimes chaotic) moments of everyday life.

We homeschool – though not perfectly, and not always according to the plan. Some days we’re baking and learning through play. Other days, we’re managing meltdowns, schedules, and trying to remember where I put the glue sticks (again).

I’m also a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. My faith grounds me, guides me, and gives me strength, even on the days when I feel like I’m running on empty. I believe in grace, second chances, and small, quiet miracles.

This blog is a place where I’ll share what’s working, what’s not, and what I’m learning along the way. You’ll find homeschool ideas (especially if you’ve got a child who needs a little flexibility and creativity), thoughts on gospel living, and the honest truth about trying to do it all without losing yourself in the process.

I hope you leave here feeling a little lighter, a little more seen, and a little more inspired.

Thanks for being here!

With warmth and wonder,
Britt x

About Me

Hey, I’m Britt — homeschooling mum, overthinker by nature, follower of Christ, and someone still learning how to hold grace and growth in the same messy handful.

The Essence of Becoming is my place to write through the chaos — where homeschool meets heart work, faith meets fatigue, and learning happens in unexpected, unbalanced, and beautiful ways.

This blog isn’t about being the perfect parent or educator (spoiler: I’m neither). It’s about showing up anyway. It’s for the days when the dishes are stacked high, the lesson plans are forgotten, and the kids learn something incredible despite all of that.

Here, you’ll find real stories, thoughtful reflections, and practical resources that honour the slow, sacred, and slightly chaotic process of becoming — as a parent, as a person, and as a family.

Because becoming isn’t a destination — it’s the whole point.
