Images shown are styled interpretations. Final pieces will hold the same heirloom spirit.
Harvest Moon - A Moments We Keep Experience is an annual tradition — a curated collection of rituals, flavors, and tokens made to be kept and returned to as the seasons turn. Inside, you’ll find the glow of beeswax, the rhythm of the moon in your hands, a story for the heart, and space to record your own reflections — all prepared to help you pause, connect, and mark this moment in the year.
This year’s circle will gather in September 2025, each Legacy Keeper opening their box to light the same candle, hold the same story, and tuck away the same memory under the autumn sky.
“We grow deep roots in young hearts.”
Not every door is meant to open. You’ve found one that few will walk through.

About Guide the Sunflowers
Guide the Sunflowers was born
From a decade of real-life homeschooling and garden-grown wisdom, Guide the Sunflowers was created to help families return to what matters — not with checklists or printables, but with beauty, rhythm, and intentional slowness.
We believe:* Story is one of the most powerful teaching tools we have
* Nature is the original classroom
* Childhood is sacred — and should be honored as such
About Guide the Sunflowers
Here you’ll find handcrafted, heirloom-quality learning experiences that invite your family to move gently, observe deeply, and learn together through the seasons.
"This is legacy work."
And it begins with slowing down, tending with care, and planting something meaningful — one season at a time.
About the Founder
As a homeschool mother of nine, I’ve spent more than a decade planting seeds in the hearts and imaginations of my children.
Real learning-
Begins slowly.
It asks for rhythm, not rush.
It blossoms when we make room for wonder.
I didn’t want to create more curriculum. I wanted to create experiences.
Ones that feel like a breath of fresh air — or a walk through the woods with someone you love.
I believe:
You can tend to your children without losing yourself.
You can homeschool with confidence — even if you’re just beginning.
And the most powerful thing we can do as parents is slow down and grow with intention.
Welcome to Guide the Sunflowers. Let’s grow something beautiful together!

When the Harvest Moon Rises, We Gather.
Harvest Moon - A Moments We Keep Experience.
The first in the Moments We Keep collection, Harvest Moon gathers the season into your hands — the light, the stories, the table, and the keepsakes of autumn. Every piece arrives ready to open and begin, turning this season into one you will keep long after the leaves have fallen.
Why We Mark the Harvest Moon
The Harvest Moon is the full moon closest to the autumn equinox — a time when fields glowed under its light and communities gathered to share the season’s abundance. It is a moment to pause, to see what has been gathered, and to light the way forward.
What Awaits Inside
From the Moment It’s Revealed Every element of Harvest Moon is thoughtfully prepared so you can begin the experience as soon as it’s revealed. There’s nothing to gather, nothing to prepare — just open and step into the season.
Becoming a Legacy Keeper
What You’ll Experience
At the heart of Harvest Moon is an original story, written exclusively for this collection, meant to be shared aloud and remembered.Alongside it comes a seasonal baking activity — a simple, warming recipe that can become part of your annual rhythm.The hands-on craft is designed to be more than an afternoon project. Using the included natural materials, you’ll create a keepsake worth displaying year after year.To help you set the tone, you’ll find gentle atmospheric guidance and a curated playlist.And when the creating is done, the reflection ritual will guide you in recording and cherishing what you’ve made together.
