12 MONTHLY THEMES · 72 RECIPES · 3 AGE TRACKS
The 12-month homemaking journey, month by month.
Body Care · Soap · Face Care · Cleaning · Hair Care · DIY Diffusers · Beauty · Candles · Everyday Essentials · Home Remedies · Gift Giving · Diffusing. Each month: 4 essential oils, 6 recipes, and age-banded curriculum guides.
STANDARDS ALIGNMENT
NGSS + Common Core aligned — documentation included for ESA.
Every monthly theme covers NGSS science standards and Common Core math standards appropriate to each age track. The standards documentation ships with your subscription — perfect for state reporting, ESA portfolio submissions, and homeschool record-keeping. (We don't use the 'standards-aligned' label as a marketing line — but the documentation is there when you need it.)

FOUR-YEAR PATH
One child. Four years. All 12 themes — twice.
Your child goes through all 12 themes each year. In Year 2, the themes return with deeper science and more independence. By Year 4, they've mastered the full curriculum at their age band — then they level up to the next track and the journey deepens again. A child who starts at age 5 gets 12 years of progressively harder content from the same 12 themes.
