Welcome to another back-to-homeschool giveaway–sponsored by Leadership Education.
On going back to homeschool with Leadership Education:
“As homeschoolers, we often get so concerned with ‘what’ to teach that we neglect the ‘how; and ‘why.’ Yet understanding these creates happier, more empowered children.
TJEd gives you the ‘how’ and the ‘why’ to make the ‘what’ more powerful, more memorable, more relevant to your children.
They will be inspired as you apply the 7 Keys of Great Teaching and the 4 Phases of Learning. You will bring them face-to-face with greatness. And they will love learning.
Discovered and articulated by Oliver and Rachel DeMille, Leadership Education, also known as Thomas Jefferson Education or “TJEd,” (pronounced “tee-jay-ED”) is an educational philosophy and a methodology by which great individuals throughout history have been educated.
Thousands of families and professional educators across the globe are applying these same principles today, with amazing success.
Remember, an investment in your education is not a withdrawal from your kids’. It will pay dividends on a gold standard for generations to come!
Q: How does your (learning) garden grow?
A: Not by force – nor by accident!
Perhaps silver bells and cockleshells worked for contrary Miss Mary, but master gardeners do not ‘make’ their gardens grow. And yet it is clearly not by chance or accident that they succeed! They know the principles that govern their success, and they understand their role in the process.
When your garden isn’t doing well, you don’t immediately think that the plants are doing it all wrong and need fixing. You assume that they’ll thrive when you have the environment, right?
Leadership Education can help you get the environment right so that a natural love for learning and educational excellence are blooming brilliantly in your home and family.”

Curricula bliss: 12 products we couldn’t live (or learn) without
12, 9, 2 and 7 months. I could use some new inspiration and help getting my older children a bit more motivated lately.
Rosemarie’s latest post: sunday smiles
My kids are 6, 3, and 3 months. I am interested in Leadership Education and think this is already how I want to approach my children’s education. I just need the support of these products to implement it.
My children are 4 & 5 and we are so new to the homeschool world. It has been such a gradual process, trying to figure things out through prayer, research and mentors. I was referred to the Thomas Jefferson method a few months ago and have just finished the book. It’s amazing! Just what we’re looking for. It hit home for me and made things so much simpler in my mind. I’ve had this bundle pulled up on my phone for a couple of weeks now, but haven’t jumped in and made the purchase. Then I found your giveaway! It would be well used in our home. ????
my kids are 8 & 11. I have been learning about TJed lately and am finding most of what I read to be very inspiring and in line with my own HS ideals. would be a huge gift to win!!!
My children are 10, 7, 4 and 1. I would love to win this package because we try to implement the Leadership Education principles in our home. This would help with that, and as we are on a very limited budget, it would really be a gift. Thank you.
kids are 10 and 12 – we need a more realistic and meaningful way of learning, and I think this will be the motivating factor to get us moving forward!
13,11,9,7,5 are my kids ages. I would love to learn more about this way of learning and how to implement it with a large family.
My children are 9 and 4. I would love to win this as we are new to homeschooling and this sounds like a fantastic program!
My children are 11, 4, and 1. When I began homeschooling at first with 1 it seemed a lot easier but now with 3 I realize I can’t do it in my own, it will only be by the Grace of God. I know he uses different ways to communicate and help us so if this is his way and will for my family then ……
I’ve heard about this program and it seems very interesting, I would love to know more.
My sons, who are still in school are 15, 17, and 18 (Bible College). I would like to win this prize because, I’m always looking to improve on my skills as a teacher and parent in the role of homeschooling. Teaching boys is often challenging and I need all the help I can get. I am in the last leg of this journey since I have everyone in high school and college, but I have two grandsons in school and always try to give appropriate advice when ask. Thank you!
My children are 2 and 4 (very soon to be 5). As we begin our homeschool journey, one of these kits would be invaluable. Leadership education sounds wonderful, but I am at a loss on how to start.
Our daughters are 5 and 7. We have heard great things about TJEd from so many sources and have found that much of what we do aligns with it’s philosophy. This package would help us take it to the next level. Thank you!
My children are 10, 8,6, and 2 1/2. I have gone to the TJed website for inspiration, but would love to get the books and read deeper.
I shared the link on facebook about this giveaway!
Children are 8,8,7,5,2,and 4 months. This would be great! Thanks!

Wow! What great information you are providing in this contest! How can I live without? 🙂 I have a 10 year old son and this is our 2nd year of homeschooling.
Ages b-15, b-13, g-11, and b-6. I need fresh perspective. Been on the homeschool wagon going on 11 years now.
Thanks..
My child is 12. I’ve been interested in the approach for some time.
My kids are 1 and almost 4. I have read all that I can get my hands on about TJEd, but our library doesn’t have any books but the first one and I don’t have the budget for the others so this would be amazing!!!!!!
My son is 13. I withdrew him from school last year. I would like to better understand the phases of learning to help me work with my son. He has some disabilities but a bright and curious mind. He likes learning when information is at his level and paced appropriately.
Our children are 9, 11 and 12, home from China 1/1/2, 2/12, 3/12 years.
We are totally new to homeschooling, going to start on 9/30 during my oldest daughter’s recuperation from major surgery and expand from there, and so our needs for guidance, inspiration and mentoring are obvious. I particularly would like to include my husband who will teach them history, and so I love Option #2.
My daughter is four and we are just beginning the homeschool journey. I would love to win this and start off in the right direction with this knowledge! Thanks for offering the giveaway!
Our children are 8, 6 and 17 months and Dad s homeschooling this year – I think it would be a great package for our HS team this year!
my children are 11, 9, 5 and2. We would love to implement more of these tools and I love the whole principle of ‘inspire not require’- which is so how my children learn best. thank you for the offer.
My daughters, that are still at home, are 13, 11, and 8 years old. I have already homeschool graduated my two older daughters. I have read, and absolutely loved, A Thomas Jefferson Education, and I follow Oliver and Rachael DeMille via email. I would put any information from TJEd to great use! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to enter the giveaway!
My children are 13, 11, 10, 7, 4, 4, 2 and 1! Thanks to your posts about TJED we were introduced to this way of learning that fit what we had been leaning towards for quite a while. I have been trying to learn all I can about how to implement this in our home and know this package would help as we continue to discover more about this model of learning!
My boys are 14, 12,10 and 6. I would love this package so that I can learn to be more inspiring to them. We love TJEd and would love the opportunity to receive more help and guidance. Thanks!
My boys are 13, 11, 10, 8, and 6. I’d love to learn for myself and teach my boys all of this great material.
I have also shared this post on facebook – fingers crossed 😉
My kids are ages 11,9, 7, 5& 5 I have four boys and one girl. TJEd has changed the way we approach homeschooling and reassures me when I get comparison-itis. I would love to have the resources in this bundle for inspiration and confidence.
You really have the coolest resources! My children are 10, 8 and 6 and I would love have these resources to enrich myself AND my husband ( that package for the dads is great!) and our perspectives and ideas on education and homeschooling.
Setting Course’s latest post: Surprise!
Hi! My kids are 9, 7, and 5 (two boys and a girl)
I would like to have a new way of seen things in my homeschool. It has not been easy, but I know is worth it ????
My children are 9, 17 and one graduated. We did not start out homeshooling from the beginning. I have been reading about your approach and philosophy. It is something I would like to do with my youngest.
Shared the giveaway on Facebook!
My kiddos are 4,6, and 8 and we would love to win option 1.
My children are 8 and 11. My 8 year old is homeschooled and my 11 year old is in her second year of Christian school. I am feeling a lot of fear this year about will I teach him everything he needs to know…etc. I know that is the “system” encroaching on my brain! The battle goes on… On the other hand, I know it’s not so important that he knows everything and teaching my son that way doesn’t work for me or him. My desire is for him to love learning. I feel all over the place this year and need guidance. TJE seems like it would be a good place to start. Thanks!
My daughter is almost 4 and my son is 17 months. I feel like this would be a classic, long lasting tool for them.
My sons are 12, 6, and 2. I would like to win because I’m interested in incorporating more Leadership Education into our days.
My kid is 10 – it would be a great resource for me!
Shared giveaway on Facebook.
I have 2 daughters (15 and 13) and a son (10). I’ve heard wonderful things about TJEd and I’ve always been curious about how to implement it. I’ve homeschooled from the beginning and my kids are at a season in their lives, where their leadership skills need to be fostered, nurtured, and encouraged more, so that they can be productive citizens in our community. This generous gift would be a blessing, not only to our 1-income family, but because it will show us how to raise leaders in our home, share what we learn with others, and make a difference in our community and eventually, our nation–one family at a time. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with all of us. I truly enjoy and appreciate all the articles and resources that you offer and provide–the simplicity, honesty, little but profound nuggets of treasures, and the books that your whole family is reading at different ages. I’m constantly forwarding your emails and encouraging others to sign up 🙂 Thank you!
My son is 7. I think Leadership Education might be a good fit for our family and I’d like to learn more about it.
Our boys are 6, 4 and 7 months. I find myself getting hung up on what they are learning so as to not fall behind their peers, and it’s ridiculous! I’m losing so many of the advantages why we chose to homeschool in the first place, and a resource like this would help to get me focussing on the right things.
My children are 10, 8, 6, 3, and 3. I would love to learn more about TJED! With so many educational philosophies and methodologies available to homeschoolers, I believe that (as parents), keeping our hearts open to learning new ways to inspire our children and implement educational models can only empower our journey.
My kids are 6 and 8 and I’d love the Simple Homeschool Bundle because I have read a book of theirs before and I’d love to read more!

My kids are 8 and 5. I have been going through the 7 keys, and it has transformed school for us. I know I am not finished learning myself, and this giveaway would help me have the resources to learn more so I am prepared for my kids. My oldest, particularly, is ready to move out of love of learning, and I want her to transition well as she begins to explore new things and go more in depth in her education.
Shared on facebook. I would very much like to win this one!!
My children are 9,7,5 and 3. This bundle looks like it would be such an incredible blessing with resources that can be used throughout the years! I know I (and my children) could certainly greatly benefit from it all!
My homeschooled son is 12 and I would love to win this package because I chose to homeschool this year to reconnect with his academic passions. That has not happen yet but this could be the key!
I have one son who’s 12. I would like to inspire him to rise above the ordinary, but he lives to get done with school so he can engage in all the ephemerals of adolescence. Help!
I am so glad that my sister introduced me to this style of learning. I have been doing my best to be a good learner. It would be so helpful to me to have this gift to be able I stay inspired to teach my ten year old son. I really hope to inspire other moms and build strength in my homeschool community. I would share all I learned if I could be the winner.
My kids are 7, 6, and almost 4. We are just starting out on this homeschool journey, and are always on the lookout for how to better the journey for our children. I had a life long goal to be a teacher, and never would have guessed that (so far) it would materialize just for my own children. I am very grateful for people like you who have goals of helping others better themselves for their children. Thank you.
My kids are 11, 8, 4 & 3. I would love to win this set to take our homeschooling to a better place. We have had a hard time finding things that work well for our oldest.
My kids are just 3.5 and 1.5, and I’m in the process of forming the learning environment in our home, and learning all I can about firms and philosophies of homeschool. I would love to win this huge package because I couldn’t afford to buy it at this point, but I would love to dig in to the ideas of TJed now, while I’m laying the groundwork for all that will come later.

Didn’t mean to post this twice. Sorry!
Our kids are 8, 6, and 3, and we have a baby on the way. I’ve heard a lot about Thomas Jeffereson Education through the years; it would be wonderful to get a chance to try it for ourselves!
My son is 10, thus is our first year homeschooling and would really benefit from some guidance that this package could provide. Thanks for the opportunity. Warm Reiki Illuminations
Our kiddos are 12,10,9,6,3,1 and one on the way. We’ve been puttering through with TJEd from the start, but with the stretch of ages and our eldest growing into Scholar, I feel like this would be a shot in the arm!
Annie’s latest post: Improvisation
I have six children ages 15 to 4. I have just begun to dive into Thomas Jefferson education and what it is all about. I would like to win so I can have these awesome resources to learn more.
I have six children and they are 19, 17, 14, 10, 5 and 4.
I am always looking into ways to enrich our learning and this looks like a wonderful addition. I am also somewhat familiar with the Thomas Jefferson Education and would love to learn more.
Thank you!
Shared to Facebook! 🙂
My children are three and one. We’re beginning to research various homeschool options, but we can’t afford to spend much.
I shared on Facebook.
My kids are 9, 4, and 10mo. I would like this bundle because I always enjoying learning about different ways to homeschool.
My boys are 8 and 5. I have had such a hard time schooling my 8 year old. And truth be told, I have received so much help through your blog and references to resources, Jamie. I suspect this will fill in some missing pieces for us. Regardless, I am thankful for your blogging presence and am looking forward to school this year which hasn’t happened yet. We are taking a far more relaxed and interest led approach this year.
We are embarking on our first year of homeschooling for our only son who is 6. I was convinced of a certain method and schedule until I happened upon one of your posts over the weekend and discovered the Leadership Education style. Your words about it struck a deep chord with me and have now thrown my plans completely up in the air as I scramble to find out more about the TJEd way of life! This package would come in so handy to a new convert who is struggling to get started and whose bank account is struggling even more. We appreciate you putting this opportunity out there and for all of your inspiring posts!
My children are 7, 5 and 2 ;-). We would enjoy this bundle because we are needing to take our homeschooling to the next level! Needing more excitement, and as always confidence.
Our children are 9, 7 and 4. I would love to win this because TJed is something I’ve been interested in for the last several years but the cost has kept me from committing
Thanks for this great give-away! My kids are only 4, 2, and 6 months so we won’t be starting our official homeschool until next year but I’ve already been doing a lot of research on a Thomas Jefferson Education.
9B, 7G, 3G and i would love the dual subscription to give my momschool a starting point and to help me reach scholar. Been doing a lot of renegotiation of core and nourishing my LoL, feeling ready for some scholarly pursuits.
I have one 13 year old left in my homeschool. She is very much an explore different avenues kinda girl and from what I have read this will fit her learning style and our homeschool style very well. She is enjoying reading and discussing the classics, right now it is The Iliad, and again I think this will further her education in a way that works with our sensibilities.
My kiddos are 5, 3 and 1. I have been interested in learning more about TJED for a while now, I would really enjoy this bundle! Thanks for the give away!
We’re just starting our homeschool journey with our children who are 5, 3 and 1 years old. I’m always looking for good information on homeschooling, so this would be a big help! Thanks for doing the give-away!
Kiddos 8, all but 7, 4.5, 3, 7 months. We would be delighted with this package because we’ve been drinking in the Leadership Ed philosophy but are still newbies. I recently had to cancel our MIC membership for financial reasons, so winning this could be such a blessing!
Shared the TJED page and the blog post on FB!
Shared to a homeschool group on FB.
My kids are 3, 4, 7 and 9 and I would love to win this to get my hands on the info for dad’s. My hubby is very supportive of our homeschooling journey but I would love for him to know a little more about it.
My kids are7, 5, and 2.5. I would like to grow in “inspiring rather than requiring.”
We’ve got an 8, 6, and 2 year old living at our house. I’d love to have the added motivation to work through a year of classics.

Our boys are 7 and 8. I love having new ideas to draw from so, of course, would love to win.
Thank you
I have a 2 year old and another on the way. I want to homeschool and love the TJED philosophy. Thanks for this opportunity.
My children are 8, 5, and 3. We are just starting our second year of homeschooling, and the first year where we will be “schooling” 2 of them officially. We are recently having some huge struggles with our 8 year old, claiming he doesn’t like “learning” and that everything is” boring”. So, I definitely need to make some sort of change in our environment, and I am a little lost as to how. In other words, I am ripe for “practical and inspiring tips from master mentors to help [me} create {my} ideal homeschool”!
Girls are 6 & 8 Thomas Jefferson info I have looked at and is right up our alley. I believe that Jefferson was a great mind of our country and I would love to use this
Just as a successful gardener starts by researching the soil, watering techniques and timing of each individual flower before the first seed is planted, I too want to start our family journey of homeschooling by nurturing a natural love for learning and educational excellence. Leadership Education embodies principles we believe in as a family. We would love to win this package because it will start us along a lifelong journey together! I simply love that it includes Option 2 with a homeschooling dad’s bundle! This giveaway truly includes everyone. My children are ages 4 and 1. We want to start by laying a foundation then allowing our children to learn as they are ready.
Shared the giveaway on Facebook!
My kids are 1, 7, and 10 and I would love to get this because there are so many fabulous resources!
My kids are 5, 4, 2, and 10 months. I’d like to win this because it’s a homeschool methodology I don’t know much about. I’d like to learn more about it.
My children are 4 & 6. We are just starting homeschooling and I think this package would be a great fit for us! My son just soaks the information up & I love your site!
My kids are 13, 10, 7 and 2. We are in our second year of homeschooling and I have had my eye on TJEd for awhile. I would love to learn how to make our home an enticing, learning environment and figure out how to remove coercion, frustration and homeschooling mom guilt.
My child is 7 years old and I would love to read more about this curriculum. Everything I have read so far interests me. I want my child to know more than some facts to get through some test or curriculum. I want more for him.
We would love to try TJEd because it seems to align with values that we hold for educating our children. Our kids are 4, 7 and 5 mo.
My girls are ages 8 and 5 1/2. After reading an overview of Thomas Jefferson Education, I would love to learn more.
My children are 7 and 10. We are just getting started with Thomas Jefferson Education and I would love to learn more!
My boys are 7 and 5 and I would love to win this package because I am still really trying to find my footing with homeschooling. One of the big reasons we decided to homeschool was because we wanted our children to be inspired to learn about things on their own but I still feel like we are doing a lot of pushing and it is hard to know where he balance is and not to get caught up in what I think they “should” be learning.
My girls are 8, 7, 5 and almost 3!
I’d love a shot at TJED because I feel like our currently homeschool routine and curriculum are sinking and I’d love a fresh outlook on this whole HS thing!
Thanks,
Cassie
My kids are 6, 5, and 3. And I’ve heard about TJed since we started talking about homeschooling 5 years ago…but never really looked into. And recently I’ve realized I need to change things drastically for #2. All my friends have suggested this program!

Also I shared TJEducation on facebook for an extra entry!
Thanks
My kids are 5 and 9. I could use any inspiration or help on my homeschool journey. Thanks.
My children are 6, 4 and 1. I have learned so much from the Leadership Education model, but am finding it is hard for me to consistently create that for my children…even though I’ve had so much exposure to TJed, I still default to a classroom looking education. I’d love to have these resources to help create a leadership edcuation in our home. Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
As the youngest of five homeschoolers, my daughter is 14. She is so different from my older children because she does not like to read for long periods of time. She needs inspiration. I’ve been looking at the TJed program for her for a while now. I’m impressed with the ideas they present and the concepts of a real learner.
My kids are 12, 10, and 8. I would love to win this as the “curriculum” that I was using for my oldest just isn’t working for my other two. Still searching for something that feels right for them.
My kids are 9, 8, 6 and 2. I’d like to win because I feel like TJEd could be the balance of freedom and structure my family needs.
My kids are young, so I’d like to win so we can use these tools from the beginning.
YAY! Another lover of TJ.Ed. I have wanted to order their podcasts AND books since hearing Oliver speak last year… but budget slashing – it always gets cut from the homeschool budget. I DID ask my hubby for it for xmas – I got a blender to make green smoothies for the kids… but that’s for the kids, too, so good also. 😉
Aloha,
Our children are ages four and six. Our home education is broad and always expanding. We welcome new ideas and curriculum…
Mahalo
I would love to win this so that I can improve the approach I’m using in my homeschool.
We have 2 boys – ages 12 and 9 years. I’d love to win since I feel like we’ve hit the proverbial wall in our homeschool. I’m interested in more delight-directed learning!
My children are 9,8,5 and 2. We’ve been entirely unstructured up to now with an emphasis on environment and classics, but I feel my older ones are ready for more structure and TJEd has often sounded like a good fit for us.
My kiddos are still young… I would like to start off using this approach, and learn more about TJEd and how to incorporate it into our daily life!

I have been wanting to learn more.
