Hi! I’m Rachael

Homeschooling mom of six, keeper of chaos, and lover of all things cozy, magical and real. I spend my days wrangling twin toddlers, guiding little minds through math and spelling, chasing pockets of peace and trying (some days failing) to take care of myself in the midst of it all.
RealisticallyRachael was born from a deep desire to share the truth behind motherhood, homeschooling, healin and all the beautiful mess inbetween. I’ve walked through postpartum exhaustion, deconstructing from high-control religion, rediscovering my identity, and learning to live with neurodivergence in a world that’s not built for it.
I’m not here to be perfect – I’m here to be real.
Here you’ll find a mix of homeschool life, Amazon finds that make mine easier, real talk about motherhood and mental health, recipes I don’t always measure, and glimpses into my spiritual journey. I’m not here to be perfect – I’m here to be real.
A Few Things I Love:
- Coffee with too much creamer
- Crocheting while listening to audiobooks
- The moon in all its phases
- Organizing and a good DIY project
- Laughing in the chaos
- Finding beauty + magic in everyday life around me
Thank you for being here! Let’s make some magic out of the mess.
