Carrie De Francisco is an author, podcaster, and “retired” homeschooling mom who blends faith, simplicity, and joy to guide mothers in educating their children. She offers practical, encouraging ways to simplify homeschooling—one step at a time, one day at a time, and one cup of coffee at a time—through her Coffee With Carrie Homeschool Help podcast, TikTok “Cook & Chat” reels, online workshops, blog, books, Morning Time Plans, and one-on-one personalized coaching.
An out-of-the-box thinker, Carrie embraces what she calls “out-of-the-curriculum-box” homeschooling. She is the author of Just Breathe (and Take a Sip of Coffee): Homeschool Simply & Enjoyably and Homeschool High School: A Handbook for Christian Education, and her upcoming book, Simple Steps to a Balanced Homeschool Day, will be released soon.
Carrie shares her homeschooling insights and humor at coffeewithcarrie.org, on Instagram at @coffeewithcarrieconsultant, and on YouTube at Coffee With Carrie Homeschool Help. Originally from New Orleans, Louisiana, she now lives in Southern California with her husband, two adult children, a daughter-in-law, and a very introverted dog.
